Timana Tahu ends union nightmare by returning to Parramatta Eels

[The Colonel]

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

29 and for the past two seasons he has been catching a cold sitting on the bench..... he should be fine for a couple more years.

 

[Gronk]

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

I thought Luke -> Dogs actually. They need a GK now that they are ex-Hazzzam.

Yeah - but that isn't helping his dodgy hammy. He missed a stack of games for us and probably will again.

Was the ETU signing significant?

Backup for a wing spot assuming INU or Reddy will be pushed to the flanks

The other TT being part of the sum?

 

[Jake the snake]

wow, this is really good news.....

Fui and Grothe must stay, It's non negotiable really.

Fui Is a Parra legend, I hope Anderson understands this!

 

[madDC4]

Was wondering when this would happen.. will Lote be next..

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

It's not Burt.

 

[woddy]

we are going to need a lot of cash with all these new announcements on signings could it be Cayless thats going?

 

[TheRam]

Tahu comes with some huge question marks, Fui is as fit as a bull, very seldom injured, touch wood, and well... we know exactly what we will get, and believe me if we keep him, next year will be a super stellar year for him, because he will be playing in a team that is full of powerful runners, making his job soooo much easier.

The reason I was so excited that we signed both Poore & Shackleton was because I could imagine what players like Fui & Hindmarsh would be able to do with that sort of help in the pack to work with. To lose, IF true, someone like Fui, is just plain lunacy and pointless. One step forward then one step back really.

 

[mickdo]

he is 29

He's 28. Turns 29 later this year.

 

[big boppa eel]

Cant help but feel a bit sorry for Burty, his loyalty cant be questioned, understand though cant keep everybody. Wrapped and stunned Timana is coming back, brilliant news.

 

[TheRam]

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

Lets hope so Gronk, or I for one will be very disappointed.

 

[stuke]

they way we are speculating it sounds like no-one is going!

 

[The EELiminator]

awesome news we have bought more quality players in the last six months than we did in the previous four years

 

[Twizzle]

great news, and good news about Inu

 

[parra-matters]

I thought Luke -> Dogs actually. They need a GK now that they are ex-Hazzzam.

What about ennis? he can kick goals, the Dogs don't need a goal kicker.

 

[bartman]

So who do we lose out of our expected 25 to fit Tahu in the salary cap...?

I would prefer tpo keep Burt over Grothe if it came down to a choice between the two. Remember Eric has left us before...

I wouldn't like to lose Inu for Tahu, I'd prefer Inu to develop with Tahu. I'm happy with Reddy in the three-quarters.

Maybe Wellar has found another taker after all? Ben Smith is having OK to keep around as backup forwards or backs.

I guess we will release Eric plus Wellar to cover Tahu's asking price?

Tahoooo!!!
