J. Hooper - Brad Arthur gone , Tapau 1 million

. Let’s talk footy!

Eely Bad: Any news on Marty the Poet Taupau’s movements for 2019?

JH: He’s being shopped around to rival clubs with an asking price of around $1 million per season.


Jim: Hoops, is Pengai Jr to the Knights a geniune chance? Would throwing the checkbook at him get him home?

JH: Don’t think so. I’d be surprised if he leaves the Broncos. He’s on record about how much he loves playing for Wayne



bigkahuna108: Does Gus come off looking like a goose if the Panthers get bundled out week 1 of the finals?

JH: Some people will try and slant it that way. Not for me. I speak to plenty of Panthers players and I know how tough they found it with Anthony Griffin.



Chookies: Do u reckon that Latrell will be the kangaroos and dally m centre of the year?

JH: I reckon Latrell is set for an epic finals series. So too James Tedesco. The Roosters fullback is just one of those players who loves the big stage. We saw what Latrell can do in State of Origin. He’s got some unfinished business at this end of the season now. Yes I reckon he goes very close to Dally M centre of the year.

Latrell is set for a masive finals season.


Latrell is set for a Hey Hoops, Any idea of how many changes will happen for the Eels 2019 season?

JH: A lot. The review of the entire football club operation is not far off being finished. I’d be thinking big changes.

Rob: Surely brad Arthur has to go this is the side he put together he has no idea on recruitment that alone is enough to see him sackedand of course his atrocious coaching that has lead to onther wooden spoon

JH: His position is currently under review with a year to run on his contract. The new chairman has backed him but there’s no doubt if things don’t improve sharply to start next season then BA is finished at the Eels.

  • Where does sit says he is gone?
    • It*
    • It doesn’t. Poster can’t read.
  • BA is here next year like or not. For a million a year we better not be going near tapua that's for sure

  • I can’t believe Hooper gets paid for that rubbish . I could’ve written that . 

  • Taupau won't be here next year. Too expensive for us apparently

    • $1m is a lot

      How much is he on at Manly?

        • Apparently he'll be on $900K next year. I wouldn't take him at full freight next season but I'd offer to take him off Manly's hands for $500-$600K. It'd give them some breathing room in the salary cap.
