There’s a thread in NRL forum discussing Taumolololololo’s future. If Cows decided they done f**ked up, what would you “spend” to get him here?
And not in fairytale land where contracts aren’t worth the paper they’re written on, you have to take on his remaining 7 years, $1m a year contract, or fairly compensate Cows/JT for not taking on the full contract.
Edit - by “spend” I of course mean turfing current players

Turf Nathan Brown, Fergo and Lane.
Taulmalolo to 13
Cartwright edge
Waqa Blake or Dunster to Wing
Penisini to centre

Bench: Papali'i, Niukore, Kaufusi and Roache or Lussick

He's a bit soft defensively. I don't think he'd suit our style.

Would you take on the full 7 years?
I don't think any club would and this why I think He and the Cowboys might be stuck with each other. He ain't going to want to relinquish any part of the 10 million he's signed for. So if you offered him 5 years (which is still a stretch) you still need to pay him 7 million? Would the Cows be prepared to pay 2 million+ banana's to another club for Lolo to play against them?

You could pay him more over less seasons e.g. $1.4m a year for 5 years.


He has no reason to leave. He has a massive contract well into his thirties in a city where all his family and friends live. What possible incentive could he have to leave?
Yeah I think he’d have to get massive shits with Cows to be bothered going elsewhere. But say he did, would you sign him?

I wouldn't want him.

Great player, but he is declining, and his defence isn't worth the money he demands.

I wouldn't have him and Paulo on the field at the same time. That means at least one of them would play no more than forty minutes. Could we get value for that output?

I can't really see what the criticism is about. Last year he ran for an average of 207m, and his defence is right in line with Junior, RCG and Brown, despite them only running for 155m, 164m and 158m respectively.

Why the f**k wouldn’t you have them on the field at the same time?!?! That’d be insane offensive power
