Marty " Dog " Taupau

[ChookMaster]

Dog act by taupau. His a great forward no doubt but that was a cheap shot on a much smaller man. SST was very very upset...

[Johnny Tobin]

He has plenty of cheap shots in him.

Then he usually shapes up like a tough guy trying to get the others to throw one.

Shouldve put it on peaqrces chin he is the one that needs a wake up call

Thats abit harsh mate. I wouldn't condone any sort of a swinging arm like that on one of our captains.

I love Jimmy and i lost it.

Dirty grub with zero class.

What an odd thing to say about one of our players.

[Headless Chook]

Didn't think there was a lot in it to be honest. I have seen our mob try and excuse JWH for doing similar

[Arties Pie]

It's just a swinging arm in a tackle I wouldn't go as far as calling it a dog act and it got what it deserved ( Report and 10 in the bin ). Now Burgess last year's efforts with his eye gouge, squirrel grip's and stomping on Jared were I consider dog acts.

[ROC181]

Dogs are good. He should be called a cat. When JWH had him by the scruff this cat looked like he was about to cry. He only attacks small guys.

[Waerea-Beast!]

To be honest, I think Taupau is just dumb more than anything.

[Pass the Ball]

The pretend chomp was pretty funny though...

I think he would destroy JWH if it came to it...

It was a cheap shot on one of the smallest players on the field who was on the ground and couldn't defend himself. To me it looked deliberate by the way he line him up.

Silly Fittler tried to bag the ref about the 10 in the bin by saying "if it was a high pressure game with 15 to go would the ref do that?'
If one of our players did that in a high pressure game you'd be more pissed off at his stupidity than any ref call.
Taupau did it out of pure frustration time had run out and they were going to lose again. End of story.

He wasn't bagging the ref at all. He was making a statement that is a great topic for debate. The sin bin isn't used enough and that was a professional foul and that's what the bin is for.
Fittler was just bringing up a valid point that the officials are scared to bin blokes in games

[Bansai Pipeline]

They should bin for foul play more regularly.
