Tapau asked to find a new home by June 30

[David Bill Williams]

You're joking aren't you?

Not at all,

8. Aiden Fonua Blake
9. Api Koroisau
10. Marty Tapau
11. Joel Thompson
12. Shaun Lane
13. Jake Turbo

They have quite the forward pack

[eddie]

I feel sorry for Napa.
If the game hadn't moved so far towards touch football he'd be appreciated more.
I reckon if Napa played in the eighties, he'd go down as one of the best props we've had.

[The Skeez]

I wouldn't go that far. He averaged 160+ metres a game last year, 155 metres a game this year. Napa averaged 99 metres a game last year and about 85 metres a game this year.

They’re respectable numbers.
Maybe with all his gym strength and braids, I expect more out of him.

[eddie]

Was it posted somewhere that Tapau was asked to leave?

I can't find anything about Manly moving him on, except for here.

[Johnny Brass]

Grab him , he's a ball playing prop its what we are crying out for . Teddy would love sniffing around him up the middle of the field

[Cockadoodledoo]

Yes there’s a reason he recently purchased a home in Botany.

He couldn't afford to buy in Manly?

[Vasco]

Our record against Manly is woeful. 2013 was a rare year.

[Easts75]

Tedesco would be praying we sign a forward who can offload and create second phase play, woukd our myth of a coach let him though ??

[Tommy Smith]

He'd be the perfect signing.

Where did you hear this anyway?

Unfortunately he's turned into a poor man's Klemmer

[bondi.boy]

How come we are at a stage where Manly's pack, nearly every pack, is a level above ours?
How was that allowed to happen?


They banned the shoulder charge, one of Napa's major weapons.

Is it the coach not letting them offload or lack of ability. Besides Jared flopping one out the back I don't see much off loading ability amongst our forwards. Teddy had a lot of success at the tigers on the back of Aaron Woods offloads.

[Tommy Smith]

Manly have some weapons in their starting pack... JTrob, Taupau, Fonua Blake, Thompson... but it falls away big time after that.

They also have a much better hooker.

If their forwards lay the platform then Koro and Tom.T could have a field day as usual against us.

[ism22]

Logically if we made a play for Tapau, we should be trying for an exit for Napa. At the start of the year the word was he wanted to join his mates at Newcastle. He was still getting on the turps with SKD and Pearce in the offseson up in Newy.

I heard he loves his Winnie Blues too?

[John Corey]

He’s being overpaid for his output. He’s Manlys Napa

Well I remember a game last year when he made our forwards look like children. He smashed us. I'd have him in a heartbeat.
