Arana Taumata

[Suitman]

I couldn't care how trashy or bad they are off field, if they are good players who can help the team win a premiership then sign them up. I just want that premiership, not worried about what the public think of our team.

So you are quite happy to have our club dragged through the mud in your vain search for a premiership, when these guys misbehave?

No probs.

We can have a crack in 6 months when he comes back on the market.

If I remember correctly, he was the guy whilst playing for the Roosters, walked across field to an injured opposition player who was flat on his back and kicked him in the head. I never understood another club signing him to a contract.

wasnt ulise faliha in the brawl?

 

[Utey]

There's a bit more about Taumata you guys should know.

1) He looked good at centre, plenty of speed and his defence was pretty solid there too.

2) He was rubbish at 5/8, even though that's apprently his best position. no vision or ballplaying that I could see. And his defence went out the window as soon as he moved to the halves.

3) He was dropped from ALL grades of football (didn't play for either of our QLD Cup feeder teams) suddenly and a worse player (Rovelli) was recalled for the last few games.

I can understand dropping him for defensive issues - but not even playing him in QLD Cup?

I'm really doubting "he just didn't settle in Townsville" excuse. He'd been there for what, a month or two? If a club throws you a lifeline, you need to stick it out for longer than that, even if it's tough at first.

what's the difference to what our board is doing right now? The only difference is we could have something in the record books to show for it. I'm sick of being the nice guys of the NRL. In saying that however there is a line to be drawn

In FIFA 10, I made a player with the last name 'Taumata'.
He scores dozens of goals (leading A-League goal-scorer by 30 goals for Sydney FC!), but he is terrible at defending.

Hakuna matata.
