Tahu saga - lost the plot - he's "missing"

[Pierced Soul]

he was awol on the field too except for the night he wanted to bash the white newcastle players so im surprised they even noticed he wasnt at training

 

[Frederick]

He wouldn't get into our 1st grade backline. We've got plenty of players who had better years than him, and they aren't drama queens.

Didn't Merritt try and play the race card when he was snubbed for origin? Or am I thinking of someone else :?

Maybe Mundine? The guy who played the race card when the incumbent at his position was also aboriginal. As for Merritt, I could be wrong but I don't recall hearing something like that from him.

I could be wrong

You are always wrong

According to your favourite reference source, Wikipaedia, he said this in 2007 -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_MerrittMerritt hinted that his non-selection was possibly due to "a Souths thing or a racial thing".

It's because he has banged on about his Aboriginal heritage and how he is an Aboriginal.:roll:

and then he buggered off to play for the Maoris....bwahahahaha

One thing is for sure, Tahu ain't on long service leave.

 

[Lambretta]

Ignore the headlines and the team mate who said "I don't know where he is" and read the article

"Timana has asked for a few days off," Osborne said.

"He did have car problems on Monday but I knew about that. I have spoken to Steve and he knows about it [Tahu's absence].

"There are no dramas. He has been training really well, training the house down."

Pressed again on whether Tahu had gone AWOL, Osborne reiterated: "No. He is spending time with his family."

The personal demons thing is a newspaper writer extrapolating based on the fact that Tahu was overlooked for the Aboriginal Team

So other than Tahu not being a training for a few days and a team mate not knowing about him not being at training - am I missing something here.

Has Tahu requested for a long term leave of absence? Has Tahu asked for a transfer? Has Tahu asked for anything other than a few days off?


This whole thread speaks volumes about peoples attitude towards Tahu and not alot else. It seems he is really disliked and it's playing for Union and coming back and being crap that's at the core out the hatred.

What about Tuquiri, Sailor, Rogers?

Why haven't they been 'picked on'?

Nothing to do with Union. Everything to do with being a hypocritical sook.

Indeed
Tahu is a precious hypocritical racist.
and a whinger to boot.

Harden the f**k up, Timana

 

[simostorm]

Ok, sorry for thinking that we shouldnt jump to conclusions based on the TELECRAPS article on Tahu not attending training.

and lol Phil maybe i should make that pic my signature

this.

sarahstorm is right.. the article hints at a possiblility and the public run with it..

 

[otori]

Aren't aboriginals allowed 2 weeks a year on top of annual leave to go "walkabout". Just saying ...

 

[Raider_69]

and a sh*t footballer.

f**king woeful

:lol: @ Matt23's post

Reminds me of you actually. I cannot recall any racism, just many idiotic posts.

And funny for a Raiders fan to bag a centre with some personal problems from another club. For whatever Tahu is facing, I can guarantee that it doesn't involve a camera, a throbbing hardon and an over excited German Shepherd ffs!

I did say and had been sh*t. The others have all came back and have been great.

Look all the article showed was that Parramatta have said they know Tahu has taken some time off - that the management is aware of it and that he's been training really well.

Everything else is pure conjecture on behalf of a half rate hack at the Telegraph

Personally, I dont give a damn if he plays brilliantly next season, retires or is dropped to the reserves for being useless. It's no skin off my nose. But everyone seems really happy to condemn him.

It reminds me of that scene in Monty Python Holy Grail where they want to burn the witch.

Wow. Groundhog Day. This was an exact quote in the papers last year during pre-season training. An article with a picture of Tim Tam deadlifting a club record weight and comments from club officials stating he was setting new benchmarks in power and strength and that he was in for a ripper season. What happened? Answer - Not much (at least on the field in 2010 for Timana).

 

[Spot On]

Do you seriously think this incident warrants us dropping him? Im not being naive, im just being realistic.

Why would you want him? I'm not being naive, just realistic.
