Marty Taupau

[Steakface]

Wow what a forward pack for 2019. JWH (30), SST (27), Tetevano (29), Collins (23), Liu (28), Cordner (27),
Crichton (23), Radley (21) and Butcher (22). Napa (26) possibily stays and we pick up either Tapau (30), TPJ (23) or Lodge (24). Both TPJ and Lodge are only young and will only get better and potentially be with us for awhile.

Napa will definitely be moving on if we get another prop.

IMO, I think Napa has reached his ceiling and the move to court the likes of Taupau or TPJ is a good one.

A big no thanks to Lodge from me. I know Uncle Nick likes his hard luck stories, but Lodge (as opposed to Titsvano or Fergo) is just a c**t of a bloke according to all reports. And why risk team harmony in a premiership winning unit by bringing Lodge in? It's a very low percentage play.

Ethan Lowe to the Roosters, DISCUSS...

He can kick conversions and would add some decent depth if he came at the right price.

Didn't we just let go of a decent 2nd rower?

No, dodgy neck and attitude.

Tapau could do really well under our system, we really need an offloading prop and I think we might be able to get the best out of him. He has all the physical requirements but has been lazy and lacking sustained quality in the past but has never played in a team with as much quality on and off the field as he would get at the Roosters. I don't know what money he is on, but at the right price he could be what we need.

The difference between Napa and Taupau as far as the stats are concerned is huge.

Taupau's Hit ups , post contact metres and offloads would be a huge improvement on what we have.

Napa's legs stop moving before he hits the line. Fast becoming the new Pillow.

[eddie]

I'm undecided.
On his day Napa adds a lot to the team. Opposition look out for him.

We also have a lot of promising young forwards..............Collins, Butcher, Porter, Stilliti, Farmer Silly, Curran...................no room for Lowe.

[Rooster_6]

Like heading into 2018, I don't buy the argument that we are short on props, nor do I buy the argument that we need to start offloading more or that we lack size in our forward pack.

Robbo has a very accomplished record of developing middle third forwards this isn't an area we should be looking to spend in. Let Robbo continue to develop the likes of Collins, Butcher and Farmer silly. Spend the money in locking up our young talent not signing grunt workers to add to a premiership winning pack.

[Bansai Pipeline]

If 6 is against it you know it's a good idea.

Sign Marty up.

[top_joe]

Any signing that will push others to perform or be dropped should be welcomed.

Don't worry, Lowe resigned with NQ https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/tra...b18ad954d15ea1

A few hours after I posted that. Do you reckon I scared him off?

[David Bill Williams]

Naps out Collins in we wouldn’t be any worse and we would save a ****load of cash

Happy to have TPJ though
