Napa to Dogs, Klemmer to Knights, Taupau to Roosters.
Has this been reported? If so, why would Manly let Taupau go with no replacement? I would have thought the logical idea would have been a swap of Taupau for Napa? If Many let Taupau go, without replacing him, then they will be very short on props. As I was writing the last sentence, I recall reading that Melbourne are shopping Kassiano around. Maybe he will end up at Manly? I would take Kassiano. He would also be a good pick up for Newy.

I don’t know what the reason is for Manly not having a replacement for Taupau however , Kassiano would not be on my shopping list , unfortunately the fire has gone from the man , whether that is a result of his dramatic loss in weight or merely getting on in years I do not know , but he is simply no longer that hard running defense busting forward that he once was .

Yep, tough guy when he had the weight, now just a shy and unassuming plodder

Wouldn’t want him near us, think back to the semi final few yrs back when he kneed Widdop and others as they were on the ground. Hard players are great, filthy grubs no way

Still reckon our friend is an undertaker.
Why else would he keep saying, 'stay calm, nothings happening.'

I knew a funeral director once..... not a man of many words. Guess he gave his clients the cold shoulder, or was that the other way round!
