[Resurrected] Taupau being shopped?

[Terry Zarsoff]

In his 12th year of first grade….has been on the decline towards the end.

He’s cooked and ready for retirement.

I think his career has been in decline since his first grade debut.

 

[Jerry1]

I think they might re-sign him if he will take a one year deal (reduced).

Aloia is our No 1 prop, but between Paseka, Sipley, Marty and Keppie I have no idea who our No 2 is, maybe its Taupau.

I could make a case for cleaning out all but Aloia and picking up some new blood.

It aint Keppie..

He just lacks confidence..if he can muster up the same confidence he had in 2018 where we almost won the spoon, he will be destined for glory.

He was half right. We nearly did win the competition….for our very first wooden spoon.

Don’t you just love big-mouthed front rowers? Remember Martin Bella’s dissing of Norths’ prospects in 1991, just before we played them in a semi?

Norths didn’t forget either. They won.

I think it is interesting that considering the circus around player contracts there has been close to no talk around him and what he is doing next year.

This has to be either due to a lack of demand or that a decision has already been made

Think it's more of a waiting game tbh Isz, a few more cards need to fall into place before we get a bit of clarity on Marty, ie; Manase Fainu's impending trial and then if not guilty what $'s are we looking at.

I wonder how Marty will respond with Aloiai officially signed to 2025 and now our #1 prop?

Hopefully with power, venom and some hard running and tackling to prove he is worthy of a Manly or another club contract.

Got to be honest when reserve graders are getting talked about in the news there has been no talk about Marty

 

[Rocky]

What's fair value for Marty on a 2 year deal? 400k a year?

Make it 400k for two years.

Better yet, no money at all, because there’s no contract on offer.

Nah! Save it for the kids coming through the system.

Twitter rumour Marty is off to Hook

Sandy Hook, or the sandy beaches of Greater Wollongong?😉

By Hook you mean Saints right, good fit for Kapow, home to the discarded and semi retired forwards.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Very much doubt he’ll be an Eagle in 2023, and maybe that’s not a bad thing but we will need another prop.

 

[Ryan]

Good luck tonight in your 150th Marty.

Absolute class individual both on and off the park. One of my all time favourites. I honestly believe you're a player that people set lofty expectations for, and don't realise what value you add until you're out of the team !

I really hope the boys lift for you tonight. Champion of champions.

 

[Disco]

Surprised its only 150, seems to have been around forever.

Hope he has a big one

 

[bob dylan]

Been a model player.

Proud he is an Eagle.

 

[Rafferty]

Surprised its only 150, seems to have been around forever.

Hope the rest of the boys do too, so we can all have a good weekend and get Marty a win in his milestone.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Poor mistake to pass off the ground after being tackled. He is going to struggle to find a club.
