tahu

[The EELiminator]

Tahu only made me $70,000 in Supercoach. His selfishness knows no bounds.

serves you right for leaving him in the team he soon got punted from mine

Kearney sure must be wondering what hell he has walked into........I wonder how he is sleeping at night????

On a pile of money, with his arms around the World Cup and Four Nations trophies.

 

[True EEL]

tbh i think Tahu's days with parramatta are numbered......i can see him moving on

If he's worried training is hurting his rehabilitation from injury... then what's he doing playing full games of league in charity matches?

Yeah, I know...

I was just thinking that doing weights training and contact training etc is a lot different to a charity game (essentially touch) with kids on either side? In terms of what it takes from the body at a certain point in "recovery".

I'm not willing to hang Tahu, I don't reckon he's done too much wrong - asked permission (and been granted it) all the way, players are reportedly supportive. It's not a big deal imo.

 

[bartman]

TBH comparing the Tahu situation to Grothe is a little irrelevant. Tahu is on way more than him and Eric's contract is now incentive based from what I've heard.

Fair enough re Grothe's contract - that's probably a fair value tbh.

And if Tahu has a 2011 contract - the coach isn't even sure if he does - then it would b e fair enough if it was just incentives too. But the cap auditor wouldn't allow it, as Tahu is a current SOO player and would need to be paid at a certain level...

Grothe always seemed not too fussed about performing rep duty and so misses out the (contract) benefits it brings.

 

[bartman]

FMD - where did you pull that from Barty? - return to work plan? - talk about making excuses!!! :lol:

where has it been mentioned that he is currently injured? .... he's played league in an indigenous round robin event, trained with the kangaroos train on squad, trained with parra up until last week and now a touch footy charity event .... injured? wtf?

I'm just making stuff up (as usual) ;-).

I didn't mean to say he is currently injured, just that his public complaint with Ando was that he was made to play when injured (instead of "recovering").

Couldn't imagine there'd be many surprised by that statement.

[bartman]

It was said in jest Suity, glad you got that joke ;-).

Like Fish, I think Tahu's been on the end of a hard time. I'm just looking at the other side.

 

[Suitman]

Like Fish, I think Tahu's been on the end of a hard time.

Like Fish and Bart, I also think that.

[bartman]

:thumn. We're agreeing too much this week Suity, I think the planets must be mis-aligned...

Looks like there is a chance another Eels junior could come back to bite us in the ass.

BULLDOGS insiders have been privately doing cartwheels about arch-rivals Parramatta letting them sign rookie centre Jonathan Wright on a deal worth $80,000 a season.

The youngster has been blitzing it in the pre-season, while a couple of suburbs away at Parramatta Timana Tahu has been nothing but high maintenance

He's not our junior and he is sh*t. DA let him go for a reason.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Tahu needs to piss off

Piss off is what he does.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I remember reading an article about Kearney taking time out from the 4 Nations to lay down the law to the eels players. Let's wait and see if he is still laying down the law.

Let's wait and see if he is still laying down on the lawn...

 

[Parramatta1947]

Looks like there is a chance another Eels junior could come back to bite us in the ass.

If they have magically fixed the fact he can't defend and doesn't pass the ball, I would be doing cartwheels too.

Every player looks good in pre-season.

Centres and wingers don't win you comps. Halves is where the moneys at.

I don't if it's been mentioned here yet, but if tahu does infact have a contract, and is requesting some leave, I don't think there's much management can do in terms of giving him the flick. Surely he would then have a case of unfair dismissal, as his problems have arisen while playing the game, and would be claiming his leave is based on compassinate grounds due to the pressure and stress on the racial vilification matters this year.

 

[mickdo]

Wright was average. Very average.

If he requests leave, and it's denied, yet he still doesn't turn up to training then the club have every right to terminate his contract as he's breached the terms.

I'm not sure that simply breaching a single term of a contract is always grounds to terminate it, but it would certainly be a starting point to that process
