The Taupau Rumour

I was wondering if anyone had substantial info on where this rumour originated?zerotackle.com (probably not the most reliable source) claims that he is signed with Manly until end 2020. If this is true I can't see why Manly would want to let a player of his calibre go. As much as I would love for him to join the Eels, I just can't see how this will happen. I do remember something about a swap for Corey Norman, however, if Norman remains at the Eels how is this even possible. Is this merely a case of wishful thinking?

  • I have heard from multiple sources that we have signed him. I however, do not believe until officially confirmed by club

  • Take it as a given that all rumours are exactly that. 

  • Manly need to release either dce taupau or j or t turbo to fee uo cap space taupau was the most likely and parra has made an offer for his services
  • Saw that interview. 

    He’s pissed off. 

    Manly are absolutely shopping him around to relieve cap pressure but he’s not being told that directly. Understandably he’s upset. 

    I think he’s an absolute must for Parra. He’s available and all we need to do is find the money. We have the money. Just get it done. 

    Taupau is also an intelligent, articulate and thoughtful guy. He’d be such an asset to our club. Just sign him already. 

  • Muttman parra always fuck things up when it comes to situations like this.I bet Arthur is trying to talk Charlie gubb out of joining super league as we speak.
    • Quiet the contrary, Kedonza. Arthur wants Tapou and Tapou wants to come to Parra. To some extent it's hinging on what happens with Norman.

    • Fuck we’re relying on Norman? Lol can’t help us on and off the field
    • kendozing again. Gucci misunderstanding reality.

      Fellas, your comments are exactly why Muttman's point about Taupau being an intelligent, articulate and thoughtful guy should ring alarm bells for 1EE to sign him up to lift the IQ of bloggers here. Don't worry about your idiotic speculation about BA and Charlie Gubb here's an incredibly real time opportunity. KEN...ring Phil!!!!  

      • Calm down don't get so rowdy.I swear some people on here can't take a Fekking joke.Geez some must live a boring life taking everything so serious.

  • That makes sense if they're under cap pressure. Hopefully we can lure him out West
