It's all good guys. Fergo was on one of those magic redemption deals. Remember?

No one else wanted him so the Roosters took the poor little sex offender in and reformed him. All while on minimum wage.

As payback for returning Fergo back to society a changed man, his minimum wage contract now magically transforms into $800k of cap space and they can go and rescue poor little Marty Taupau from the tyrants at Manly.

Actually, Marty will take a pay cut to be rescued so they could potentially save Dylan Walker from the same plight as well.

The Roosters are the reformists of Rugby League. Nothing but redemption stories year after year.

Perfectly put, never thought of them like that. Time other clubs try to give back to society too. Can you post a link to the article.

Reports of Taupau to Roosters.

Haha - no problem there.

No chance. They've been pushing this narrative for weeks with no evidence....
Would love to have him back at Belmore though. Was a poor decision to let him go, you could see it back then. Quality forward.

The guys on Triple M discussed the rumour last night. Even guys like Crawley and read said it was highly improbable Tapau to the Roosters in 2019 considering they'd heard that Marty and his Manager are looking at a deal of upwards of $1 million a season for his next deal, also that he is under contract to the Sea Eagles until the end of 2020 anyway. Also Tapau is on record as saying he hasn't spoken to anyone and doesn't know where these rumours are coming from - https://www.nospam47.com/au/league/...ea-eagles-contract/1t8cgcd0xxc1f1fmi7oo39k787
