Timana Tahu ends union nightmare by returning to Parramatta Eels

[mickdo]

Well, from what PO had to say, its not even a done deal yet. Tahu is still yet to get the release.

The Wallabies coach has said he is fine with him going

Sounds like Deans would have to pick him in a Wallaby team for at least 3 tests in the remainder of this year for them to stop him going. Deans is not like that.

It came out this week that he got a bee in his bonnet when Tahu chose not to play club rugby before the Italy test - so he dropped him from the Wallaby team.

The only reason this is not being fast tracked is because it has left the Waratahs in a disastrous position for 2010. Maybe they will learn that putting a gun player on the bench all season will not make him a happy camper. D!ckheads.

A bit like us putting Fui on the bench as well.

Not quite. NRL benchies get game time every match because of the interchange. NRL is a 17 man game.

In RU they have 7 on the bench and may not use 5 of them.

I think he has a hand injury at the moment, so he wouldn't be available for a while in any case

Hopefully the contract isn't huge. Good outside back but I would hate to think that his signing would hinder our development in future years.

Yes, and I hope he stays injury-free for the next three years. And I hope Osborne hasn`t gone after him because of his high profile and because it looks really good on paper and because it sounds like a great coup for Osborne and the club. If it works, that`s absolutely marvellous; but I`ll say it again - I think it`s a great big gamble.

It may be a gamble with Tahu, but it is a gamble well worth taking that could lead to a GF.

Any further news on Tahu's signing?

It will happen. The Waratahs spent Tahu's contract cash on Berrick Barnes today.
