For it to be described as "messy" certainly makes you wonder. It would rule out injury or illness in the family I would think, as there would be no real need to hide that. Maybe a lack of confidence under the high ball ? Could also be that he had a domestic with the trouble n strife.

It's not what was said between Robbo and TT, Robbo was just being the usual pest. TT simply didn't handle the joke and it was quite embarrassing for him I thought. Watching it, I thought that something was a bit strange for TT to behave like he did. I mean, yes, Robbo is a dick, but everybody has a bit of a laugh, not this time though.

What Scott said. robbo was trying to talk to TT and just wasnt get really any responses from him, then Robbo goes to TT you have to eat your greens and TT just said no i dont wanna you eat them and shoved them in Robbos face, It did seem like a joke at the time, but thinking back on it he really did seem pissed off and there wasnt a smile afterwards like there usually would be.

Maybe Tahu was annoyed that he got picked on the wing?

For a LONG time he has resented being named as a winger. Perhaps he spoke to the coaching staff about it or something - and didn't get the answer he wanted.

Very glad we have a bye this weekend, I hope Ando + co get a hold of him ASAP and see what the problem actually is, help him resolve it and get him focussed on footy for the rest of the year!

In a way it's best for us. He's got another 9 days to prepare for MNF vs Newie. Also we would always be better off with a specialist winger for the blues.

interesting they replaced tahu with monahan rather than jennings. Another blow to the panthers from those clowns running the game

Timana was eating his food and clearly was trying to avoid the idiot Robbo. Robbo persisted in talking to Timana but Tahu clearly didn't want to talk with his head down still eating. So you'd think Robbo the idiot would just move on ... No! He grabs Timanas food and trys to force feed him peas. Timana gets up and shoves him away. Robbo went flying.

Bottom line is that robbo is dickhead.

Hmmm maybe something happened off camera? Doubt it but wouldn't be surprised if bellamey and 9 had a knee jerk reaction to it all in all I hope T is all good

Ok so reading the same thread in the interstate part of the forum apparently according to triple M tahu had a blue with one of the players press conference shortly....hmmm weird only Tahu left maybe it's not as simple as it seems. I'd say he was baited and I wouldn't be totally surprised if it has yo do with someone giving some lip to haynesy. Tahu seems to protect our boys first with morts and now hayne with coming out and defending his actions against slater.

To be truthful. If he left because he had a disagreement with a player or because of what robbo done.

Its a little immature. If this was a player from another club that done this everyone on here would be bagging him from pillar to post. I didnt realise everyone has to get on in a footy team to be productive, If true he shouldnt play for the state again

I dont think we will every find out the real reason. Only those involved in the nsw team & the eels will know the truth.


well apparently the NSW camp are holding a press conference soon so lets justy see what happens from that..

I'm certainly not naive enough to suggest that every explicit detail will be revealed but we still need to be cautious as to what to post without any substance or link.
