  • Look this is my opinion only but he seems to be more of a nusiance than Allgood?
    He has a bit more raw power and aggression?

    I dont mind Allgood but Taupau seems to be a better player at present? But who knows what happens when you join the eels - just ask Daniel Harrison.
    • Hi HH, interesting comment that u make regarding Daniel Harrison. From what I have read as posted by other fans, he is just an ordinary player & nothing special at Wenty. Tanginoa & Terepo look far more promising yet Harrison just seems to be filling in the numbers.

      From an outsider's viewpoint, even allowing for poor recruiting decisions, Parra seem regularly incapable of developing new recruits compared to other clubs recruiting our boys then improving them during their tenure. I wonder why?  

  • Fairly average first grader IMO. Would rather persevere with Terepo and give a couple of our younger guys a taste of 1st grade for the remainder of the season.

    Worse thing about these mid season transfers is, you invariably end up signing them for 2-3 years in addition to the half a season when they come across. Worked out well for the Dogs with Inu last year, but while we could use an extra prop like Tapau this year, I wouldn't be keen on having him beyond this season, or maybe 2014 at a stretch for depth...

    • +1

    • EelLectric, I know ur talking about on field performance which Inu has been very good., But has Inu really worked out that well, he was responsible for starting the fight which gave James Graham a 12 match suspension, now add his own 8 weeks he is directly responsible for 20 weeks of suspensions.

  • Oh yes please!! Hope its true
  • He and Fui could do each other's hair.
  • Tapau is a good forward, would welcome him at the club

    • X1

  • Another rumour....here we go again

It's a question we've all been asking for these last years. Why are we so slow to change anything that's not working? Why are we so conservative? Why don't we act like other clubs at sacking coaches, boards, CEOs etc?Now firstly, this isn't a…
