Timana Tahu ends union nightmare by returning to Parramatta Eels

[Gronk]

Thanks Josh for a great story.

Yep, well done Josh.

 

[scottyeel]

Hope so too.
I think they will.

 

[Apey]

surprising news really, Tahu back is great news.
But how old is he now and how many injuries can his body cope with?

he is 29...not the youngest player around and obviously with his history could come with problems...
but i remember when he went 2 union, he did his hammy like the 1st or 2nd week of the season and was out for 8 weeks, but at the time he blamed it on the coaching staff for not listening to him, when he told them there were certain things he could not do etc etc and they pushed him too hard at training
while there are risks involved, i think over the years he has worked out what his body can and cant cope with, and that he cannot train as hard as some other players - the bloke is a freak though and a natural athelete so i dont think this will be a problem

If you worked out how many games of footy he's actually played in 2 years, I'd bet its under 20. Add to that the fact that he's been starved of the ball by the incompetent Tahs inside backs - it may well have extended his footy life.

If it is Fui then imo it is a dumb arse decision. Fui whether Ando likes him or not is one of the premier impact players in the league. Can you imagine the roll on we will have with our rotation of forwards next season. The opposition will have no reprieve. Just as the players have to suck it up sometimes for the good of the team, I think the same should be said for the coach. He may not like everything in Fui's game but if he thinks that the bad out weighs the good, then he is dreaming.

Fui has been on many occasions, a one man show for our team for a couple of seasons now, and IF the coach does not get that then he is a pretty ordinary judge or he is letting his personal feelings interfere with what is good for the team.

Let's not put the cart before the horse Ram. Might just be Guru and a bunch of Nevilles on $75k each.

Awesome news Tahu's back......I'd much prefer to keep Grothe over Burt

 

[bartman]

Big news... I just hope we didn't pay overs?

TT had his share of injuries in his last season with us and in his union career I believe.

I'd be disappointed if we paid more than he was on when last with us, in terms of his value within the squad as a whole.

Having said that he's an exciting centre to have in your team, and a welcome addition to the 2010 squad provided it doesn't come at some other cost...

Welcome back TiT
Just hope he can stay relativly injury free.

 

[_mUSASHI_]

Tahu was bought in to mentor Inu who is DEFINATELY staying.

Expect more announcements coming up with 1 maybe 2 forwards to be announced. Very exciting times at Parra.

Guru aint going anywhere either.

he'll be fine
hes one of the must naturally talented players ive eva seen

 

[Jodeci]

Timana has a condition in his contract

I dare say it will be regarding a number of games he must play otherwise he may not get his full pay

Could Luke be returning to Newie?

Someone is making way for TT and that's for sure

Spot on

There is a difference between any 29 yr old Footballer and a 29yr Athlete

Far out Ron Jeremy will spoil another PC screen if you keep talking like that.
