taupau plays like a young mason imo, easily breaks the line, fast, good foot work and big. but without the cockiness and media bullsh1t mason let himself down with. i hope the club do read these ideas and look into him!!!

here's a long term prop rotation i would like to see:
bromwhich, vave, taupau, garbutt. all young hard and strong!

Agree with you storming on that prop rotation.

Bromwich,vave,taupau,garbutt would be a very strong pack! Not to mention proctor maybe manu and tohu In the backrow aswell next year.

Very good go foward with those players

he would do good down in melbourne, got some talent.

But yes would much rather build our foward pack! We've got the backs to win the comp, more aggressive and bigger fowards would work great with cronk Slater Oneil ect running off them .

I heard the warriors have released ukama ta'ai he would be a good pick up. him or martin taupau and I'd be happy

Based on last night's hat trick I'd have him here but he's an outside back. We don't need another oustide back.

And this week's RLW has reported Luke Kelly as being a stray pube away from signing with Parramatta.

oldfield is a very good player, does that mean quinn is on the outer?

but i dont get it, we have some GREAT talent in the 20s in the backs.

Maybe the heirachy don't think they are that great.

Being a prodigous talent doesn't guarantee success.

Commitment to the team work ethic and hard nose discipline can only be measured by those on the inside of the Club.

I'll back Mr Bellamy's and Mr Ponissi's judgement call on any player recruitment (or loss) every day of the week
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

I'd still rather them look at forward depth which is our weakness. And it's why most "experts" don't like is to win it all. We breed outside backs so I can't understand looking at any not in our club system.

I agree with Storm Spirit , Bellamy must think were right for forwards or im sure we'd be going after them. I really dont care what the experts say about our chances with our "small" pack !
Were doing just fine the way we are .
