Tahu to Union

[Brutus]

I reckon Tahu said those negative things about union just so the media would stay off his back. Apparently he doesn't have a manager.

 

[Timmah]

Is it effectively immediately or is he playing out his contract at the Squeels?

 

[Pumba]

Its official its on Fox Sports Active

 

[wittyfan]

What's the big attraction for him (besides $$$)?

Union never been so f**ked in this country.

 

[gregstar]

wouldn't you like squillions for nothing?

He will swap codes at the end of the 2007 NRL Season

 

[lockyno1]

That means he'll be playing for the Wallabies in the World Cup then!

 

[Redback71]

what a load of bull crap. oh well at least we have $$$'s to spend. he musn't get on with hagan.

 

[Mr Saab]

I would leave too if my halves for the next 2-3 yrs are Finch and Smith.

 

[gregstar]

finch would be ken catchpole in yawnion.

it would be better for both codes.

 

[innsaneink]

he musn't get on with hagan.

He's pissed off from Hage's once before.

 

[smeghead]

Luke O'Donnell to the Eels

 

[League Freak™]

You know what...good luck to him.


Ive never rated Tahu as much as others. Yeah he is a great athlete, but he has been injury prone in the past but most of all he is VERY erratic.

I think he'll be a handy winger in union.....but if they payed over the odds for him...they are stupid.

[Mr Saab]

Wow.....Danny Weidler was right with his scoop

 

[The Colonel]

He's pissed off from Hage's once before.

Four year deal to a sport he was ragging on just a few weeks ago? I don't think its a player/coach issue at all. It comes down to one thing. $$$

 

[Jono078]

Damn, I was hoping he'd come back

Owell goodluck, gonna be funny seeing the wallabies backline of..

Schifcovske
Cross
Tahu
Tuquiri
Barnes

All former league players!

 

[gaterooze]

That instantly makes him the best player in Aus Union :lol:

How much did they pay?

4 year deal... geeze they're desperate. He's already waaaay past his best after so many injuries...

 

[scottyeel]

Make him play out the year on the wing.
