Saw Tapau leave shortly after the game. Just later saw Politis follow him...

[Kelby]

Uncle Nick was asking him if he would talk to our forwards on how to play tough and how to hit the ball up!.

...and Marty said he’d be happy to, except he was a bit concerned that Victor Radley might lay him out again....

Yeah WTF is Radley on?!?!? Seriously... how does a guy that small hit so hard? Is he a martial arts wizard or something?

Has this talk of Taupau coming to the Roosters have any basis in fact?

My opening post doesn't say he is coming to the Roosters, make of it as you see fit.

But Tapau walked past me and headed out to the carpark and a couple of minutes later Uncle Nick walked past me in the same direction.

In light of another thread started about Tapau last week suggesting he may be looking elsewhere and again I don't know if it is just shit or some fact in it, I thought well wow...

A pretty good chance it was a coincidence and nothing more, but hey, its nice to speculate.......

The funny thing is that he left well before any other player emerged and I was only hanging around after the game to talk to a few of my mates and family....

Just no concern for his welfare. It will catch up with him eventually.

[The Skeez]

On another note, dont think it will happen but if we got Big Marty into our team, then he would be more effective than our last Big Marty who played prop.

And I thought he was average. How wrong I was. He goes good in attack and defence too.

Doesn’t bode well for team harmony if he left early.
And don’t remember seeing him in the photo when Manly went to watch Hastings play for Blacktown. Could definitely be on the outer at Manly.

Someone mentioned it on The Chookpen so of course it’s true.

[Adam Stone]

Make of it what you will...

Very strange to see a player leave as early as Tapau did as was only 15-20 mins after the game....

Politis went in the same direction towards the members car park about 2 mins later....

I saw Tapau leave but I didn't see Nick leave. Did Tapau leave before or after Api and Suli left?

Hehe - all adds to the drama ...

[One Eyed Willy]

I hoope it is true and we get him He is the exact type of forward we need

He is JWH before his knee, in his prime
aggressive, pushes the envelope
big metres, offloads great leg speed

[The Axe]

Wonder if Manly arrived in the team bus? If so, it is parked near SCG paddo hill so Marty got his own way home

I was standing near the merchandising store and Marty left before Api...........

I didnt really notice Suli so I have no idea when he left but I saw Api as he is pretty short and he was leaving as I was leaving the area by then and he may have been with some others but I wasnt really caring to see who they were tbh....

Nick went past about 2 mins after Marty....

A mate reckons he was probably going to his home at Botany or wherever he bought it.

I dont really know if he lives there nor care but that could explain it......
