Tahu extension expected today: The Australian

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on October 28, 2010 at 11:25am

Meanwhile, Parramatta centre Timana Tahu is expected to sign a contract extension with the Eels as early as today, resolving his playing future.

However, the investigation into allegations of racism against the NSW centre is no closer to being finalised.

Chris Binge, whose son Caleb alleged he was called "a black c . . t" by Tahu at an Aboriginal knockout carnival earlier this month, yesterday questioned whether the slow progress in the racism row was the result of officials wanting the matter to go away.

"If that's the case it's a sad state of affairs," Binge said. "It's just frustrating getting to this point and having no action.

"Everyone keeps saying he's not coming to the table. Just take it out of his hands.

"They have the evidence. For me, for someone who says he is innocent, he's not doing too much to prove it."

i don't know if im particularly excited about this news.. he has had a poor year and has been a liability for us..hopefully with SK coming in, we can see him return to his devastating best

If he gets a solid pre-season in, I think he'll have a stellar year.

If we sign Orford and re-sign Tahu - look out!

why are we re sigining him? he is in the news every other day and hasn't play one decent game for us and was injuried half the season as we all knew he would be.
what a waste i would have kept Jono Wright.

A solid pre-season last year didn't do much for him...

  True, but with the unnecessary distractions he faced, as well as the added hype and pressure upon his return from Union, he undoubtedly found it tough to cope with it all.
  I guess at the end of the day, it's up to him to position himself in the correct position into where he stands with the club, as well as getting his head clear so that he can perform well.

i dont think he will be commanding the money that was first stated when he initially resigned. He himself shouldnt expect that kind of coin.

I think tahu has become a liability and a risk . this guy doesnt even know where his head is at i would not have resigned him. i was told thats why rugby had him on the bench a lot cause he was going on with usual racial stuff.
