maybe dragons can snap him up...nightingale can get arana to bash billy for him.


a grudge ?? WTF you raise the point above that has nothing to do with this thread. I realise that 99 was special for you guys, and congrats again(I have said 10000000 times you were the better team and deserved the win).

You mention that Tuamata is a dog, well considering the dogs you currently have in your team, he was an ideal fit. a club with no integrity cannot be expected to do anything else than sign absolute germs and scum dogs, he was a nice fit for you guys.

I take it you have proof to back up your allegations ?

Is that because you can't ?

who would have thought no balls/spine to back up his claim, just like billy the cat, no balls or spine.
No integrity to withdraw a false claim, just like his club no integrity at all.

Keep up the good work.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Probably wont please all those on here who were born without sin, but looks like the Storm are going to stand behind Arana and give him support. Indicates to me the actual incident was nothing but he was a 1 strike your out policy.



<H1>Sacked Taumata finally faces his demons

ARANA TAUMATA has taken his first steps to redemption, admitting: "I have a drinking problem."

The 19-year-old's world was crushed last week when the Melbourne Storm fired him after a booze-fuelled night ended with his becoming involved in a fight in Melbourne.

He has now been sacked from four clubs - Melbourne, Canterbury, Sydney Roosters and Brisbane - in three years and is finally facing up to the reason why.

"Alcohol is definitely a problem for me," Taumata said. "I know if I want to be a professional footy player I have to overcome my problems with alcohol. [Storm coach] Craig Bellamy has told me it's something I need to deal with. I don't need alcohol in my life. It just gets me into trouble …"

Rather than abandon the teenage prodigy completely, the Storm are offering him free use of their counselling services. And Bellamy and his assistant, Kiwis boss Stephen Kearney, have signalled a possible return to the club if he can stay sober for a year.

"They talked with me during the week and said they are going to help put me through a rehabilitation course for a year," Taumata said.

"If I can get through that … hopefully I will be able to play football for the Storm next year. They told me to think about having a year off footy and just worry about getting myself in order.

"At the end of this year, if I can get through an alcohol program, they will talk to the Melbourne board and try offer me a deal next year. I've done it before. At the Dogs, I stayed off the drink for about six months because Sonny Bill Williams helped me out."

Taumata is under no illusions about the demon in his life.

"My problems are all alcohol-related," he said. "The program [I'll be on] will be about helping me with my drinking. It's about making the right decisions with alcohol and when I'm on the drink. I always seem to do stupid stuff when I'm drinking."

Taumata also needs to deal with his guilt. After being sacked by the Broncos, Roosters and Bulldogs, the Storm took a chance on him when nobody else would. The Knights were about to sign him last year but pulled out at the last minute.
"These blokes [Bellamy and Kearney] took a chance on me and I let them down," Taumata said. "I'm gutted. I've been going so good and everyone at the club has been so pleased with me. Then this happens. I let down all of the people who believed in me."
