Reported falling out could lead Paupau out of Manly

August 3, 2018 - 12:05 pm

Speculation is growing that Taupau could leave Manly after a reported falling out with his teammates.

during the round 18 NRL match between the Manly Sea Eagles and the Melbourne Storm at Lottoland on July 14, 2018 in Sydney, Australia.

Manly prop Marty Taupau could be on the move after reports that he has fallen out with the club, as reported the Daily Telegraph.

The 28-year old is contracted at the Sea Eagles until the end of the 2020 season, but rival clubs are circling amid whispers that he wants out of Manly.

Taupau was benched by coach Trent Barrett during the the club’s clash with the Panthers despite originally being named to start, a move which the Kiwi Test prop brushed aside.

“There were many reasons as to why I started off the bench (and) so many assumptions,” Taupau told Sporting News.

“I took that (the demotion) onboard and worked with the other forwards off the bench.”

Taupau has been named to start against the Sharks in this Sunday’s clash.

"He signed with the Broncos first mate. But he couldn't start until Reynolds left (2027) so we picked him up for 2026. Otherwise he would have to stay in Melbourne. Everyone wins, except the Storm."

"I don't think they are as concerned about their reputations as some folk on here. I commented yesterday how good it is that it's all quiet since the beginning of November."

does this mean taupau will come to parra now seeing lanes coming too.

old reports on this site said toupau would only sign with parra if lane was signed , as lane was the future and protector of him in manly forwards , well rumours may come true..

early reports was manly wanted taupau shopped around to free up hes $600,000 a season.
