Surely in NZ there must be a winger who posseses pure speed. We need speed

think he plays now and then for the Chiefs.

The Warriors looked to have missed out on signing Jason Taumalolo with the Kiwis lock set to sign a whopping 10-year deal with North Queensland, according to reports.

Fox Sports and The Courier Mail have reported the 2016 Dally M medallist will sign a new contract which will expire in 2027.

The Warriors are one of several clubs interested in the snaring off-contract 24-year-old.

A 10-year deal would be the longest in NRL history, beating the eight-yeal deal Daly Cherry-Evans signed with Manly in 2015.

The bullocking back-rower was originally signed by the Cowboys as a 13-year-old and at just 17 became the youngest North Queensland player to make his NRL debut.

8-10 year deals are insane from a club perspective, obviously great for a player provided salaries don't sky-rocket in the interim

With these and the 'big 4' at the Tigers, one wonders whether the balance is right - short careers though I guess

 

[Benek]

It's official he signed a 10 year "cowboy for life" deal!

 

[JJ]

Is Doyle working on a Warrior for life deal for Kata or Tui? lol

Saw a bit of Laumape for the Hurricanes the other day

 

[vvvrulz]

Was just thinking the other day how much we could have done with Laumape now

Hell even Fish is a rosy option in comparison

Locke was on TV last night,
Saying how he regrets wasting his chances.

They would surely have a clause in their contract to account for this, especially this length.

 

[Rich102]

So Taumalolo has to play for the Cowboys for 10 years to be able to afford a house in Auckland.

 

[JJ]

A couple, and they'll be nice places in Herne Bay

That boy missed his chances.....all the potential in the world and pissed it away. Not the
first Beachhaven boy to do that though.

 

[playdaball]

Who were the others Skin?

That part of the Shore is an area I don't really know

[Skinner]

Probably not fair to name names, but they were more players with potential really. Beach
Haven Is a real Rugby League nursery on the shore.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Alex Glenn went to Birkenhead College (near enough to beach Haven) before going to Australia. I was in the same year, he's turned out alright by all accounts.

But yes, I am glad I left beach haven

 

[Rich102]

Strong rumors that Matulino is going. probably to the Dogs.

Well that would suck. If it happens we better be signing a world-class replacement pronto. Been missing his presence badly.
