Roosters chasing Taupau
The Sydney Roosters aren’t resting on their laurels after Sunday’s premiership triumph and are poised to launch an all-out bid to sign Manly’s Kiwi international prop Marty Taupau for next season.
The club continually distanced itself from rumours that it was keen on the rugged enforcer during the season.


But now that the year is over and the premiership won, I’m hearing the Roosters will open talks with Taupau’s management.
The tough prop is desperate to get out of his deal with Manly and if the Roosters come up with the right offer, a deal could be done.
WWOS has heard that the Roosters are prepared to offload Queensland State of Origin prop Dylan Napa to get their hands on Taupau.
Napa is a weapon on his day but the Roosters believe Taupau would give them more fire power.

  • There’s a better than average possibility that we are now outta the hunt for his signature!
  • Oh well there you go, he's off to the Roosters 

  • He's definitely off to the roosters. We will end up with Napa. They aren't the premiers for nothing.
  • Yes they definitely need to be better next year if they are going to compete, and with fergo and matterson gone that frees up about 1.2 to offer Tapau.
    • Sorry Frankie I completely forgot about Momorovsky leaving. Right there is your other 500k.

    • If you notice every 3 or four years the Roosters have a shocker season, this drops all the players values back down then Wham! They can afford SBW and they win the premiership . NOTE: (not a true conspiracy theory only a coincidence )
  • Something will one day bring them undone. Most here do their sums and thing just don't add up.
  • No probs - we have Timmy and Kane lol lmfao
  • Haha very true
