Sounds like a pharken sook, cya taga

yeah i dont see what his problem is.

Any other team woulda dropped him many times during the season. He was pooshouse (hehe) all year. Had a few good runs, a couple of tries but really if we didnt have an injury crisis in our squad, he would have been dropped you would think. He was as bad as Ayshford

Easy to criticise Taga and he does go a bit soft at times but at the same time he has not been used correctly in my opinion and that comes back to the coaches. He is not a front rower, has never been a front rower and clearly is no fan of playing front row. He is a wide running edge back row but never gets used in this way because of the other back rowers.

The sad thing is that Taga would do a lot more damage if used in this fashion than the backrowers playing there now.

Taga looks like he's capable of being an absolute world class player sometimes but at the end of the day I don't think we'll miss his 4 hit ups a game.

This is true, but you can either be a bitch and cry or knuckle down and appreciate the fact you are getting good coin to play sport

You never talked footy in the first place, you would log on to simply bag a bloke out then leave till next game. So just leave already and don't come back
How great are these young talented backs we have locked up. looking forward to seeing them play for years to come.

He has been used that way at the Sharks and his best performances in Sharks jerseys have been at prop.

Taga is one of my favourite players but he has done nothing. Couldn't care less if he left.

Either, actually be glad to be rid of him. Is on decent coin i think. Money better spent elsewhere.

yeah no big loss, in fact if we manage to get another prop be it Kennedy, Merrin etc I probably wouldn't even have in my Top 17

He has been used that way at the sharks?? Really. I thought thats what I said.
Whose to know how good his performances would be on the edge because he has not been used that way.
They would be better than what we see at prop.

DRAGONS TO SIGN PACKER FROM PRISON
SMH.COM.AU – SEPTEMBER 28, 2014
POSTED IN: NEWS, RUSSELL PACKER, ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS
packer

St George Illawarra Dragons have beaten the opposition to sign Russell Packer in a deal worth more than a million dollars once he comes out of prison at the end of the year.

The former Warriors prop is still behind bars after being found guilty of punching a man on a night out in Sydney last year and, in the words of the magistrate, Greg Grogan, punching again while the man was "lying motionless on the ground and then stomping on his head".

CONFLICTING STORY: Penrith and Packer agree deal

Packer has been busy in prison sorting out what his next move will be and Fairfax Media believes he will agree to play for the Red V.

The Panthers also went after Packer in a big way but ran into salary cap issues, while the Broncos could not match what the other clubs were willing to pay.

Well I hope the Sharks & Taga work it out, I like the bloke & on his day he is very good, if he stays I just hope he has more of "his days" for us.
