The article says he is yet to re-sign.

It would a great early X-mas present if Ozzie showed some balls and decided not to re-sign this guy. He has been trouble ever since he came over from union. What actually matters (i.e. his on field performances) have not been too flashy either.

How much time off does this cat need? He took time off after the origin debacle, got some more time off with a suspension and now has only just been back at training after about 6 weeks off.

f**k off T

I'm over hearing about him but seriously the guys have been back a week and he needs a week off already?

To me it seems he is just taking the piss and we are happy just letting him.

Someone remind me.... Has his contract been renewed yet?

Maybe we should just put up with it becasue his form is that good and he was devestating out wide last year.

Ozzie wont let him go, it will make family BBQ's arkward.

There is definately an agenda in play from Limited News.

I love how they put in the little quote from Preston, trying to justify the pathetic attempt at journalism.

As for the racial slur on the football ground, my info from the Northern Rivers has not changed - Tahu has no case to answer, and it is a matter of a few people who have bad blood with him, trying to bring him down. (It wouldnt be a story if it were anyone else, but Limited News want to keep running with it, because, Tahu outed everyone's "mate" Andrew Johns, and they intend on making him pay for it)

I wish people would not just eat what they are fed. Read between the lines.

Possibly consider his side of the story, before joining the baggers......

He's still skipping training, at a time when we really need everyone to take their fingers out of their ass.

Among the recommendations from the report were: not to extend Anderson's contract; appoint a wrestling coach; address Anderson's communication skills with his staff; address the lack of player discipline and punctuality at training; more individual skill sessions; and the need for a better recruitment policy

looks like it's time to look for a new coach or does giving time off to players who go AWOL mean you are "addressing the lack of player discipline and punctuality at training":sarcasm:

Whether there is an agenda or not these are the facts:

- He walked out on his origin team mates
- He left his parra team mates high and dry in the newcastle game
- and then again with his subsequent suspension
- He publicly bagged ando right after he was sacked
- He hasn't shown up to training all week
- And lets not forget he played like a busted arse most of the year

Your concerned about his side of the story? How about you consider his team mates side of the story, after all rugby league is a team game - It seems timana has forgotten this

Version 2.0 of Timana Tahu at Parramatta must surely be known as Osbourne's Folly - has been wholly unimpressive this season and a massive distraction during the offseason.

Give him a 'pay as you play / decide to show up to training' contract and focus on some kids with the right attitude. How many chances or 'cooling off' periods can you give a player?

I think in this case "time off to deal with some personal issues" is code for "you are suspended until such time you stop being a parasite on the club"

Really none if our business what the club grants him!

He was not as bad as people made out this year, he put on some great hits and showed plenty of pride in the jersey......the rest of the team was garbage too, why are people focusing solely on him????

If SK sees fit to have him in the team this year (even if he misses the entire off-season) I will trust his judgement, he is the one who lives and dies by his decisions!
