Great to see you again endevour shark. I've missed the flair in your posts - had to put up with ****wits banning good contributors.

Also glad you named us a Harmen.

I'm a fan of Taupau. He's got all the strength and go-forward plus that all important mongrel. Him stopping to belt Johnson this season was great.

We would make a hell of a player out of him.

Just in terms of physique profiling - how close do you think ASADA are keeping a very close eye on Tapau?

Of course, it may be 100% "natural" but you'd have to suspect that they would have him flagged.

They have them all "flagged" you dick. Even so, it is not un-naturual for a bloke who spends all his waking hours training to look fit as a mother ****er.

I understand you've been allowed to put your big boy pants on these last couple of days and made the most of it by banning good contributors, but thats going a bit far.

You're welcome to consult the thesuarus with a response no one else understands, or follow the trend and ban those who disagree with you. Or - just for ****s and giggles - you might address the topic. ****en doubt it.

I guess I'll wait and see.

Whilst he could be on something , or had been on something I do know the guy is strong as ****. Pulls some ridiculous weights at the gym.He trains at a place in North Sydney where Gallen trains on occasion too.

As a player yeah he's a bit of a beast but he seems to be very inconsistent and goes missing an awful lot. I'm sure that's just because he's at the Tigers.

I think it would be naive for anyone to believe a good proportion of NRL players are not using some form of performance enhancing drugs. In fact, I can't recall the exact percentage but in the latest players poll (anonymous), there was quite a high response in the positive to the question of whether they had used a PED.

Coincidentally, Tapau is incredibly strong. Over 300Kg deadlift and 140kg powerclean. These are massive numbers for an athlete of 115kg. Check out some of his training videos on Instagram or Youtube, they are very impressive.
(By the way, I am in no way inferring he is using PED's, just saying he is a very strong human!)

Tapau is clean , no doubt , his physical appearance is your typical Polynesian genetic abilty to put on muscle withoutthe benfit of illegal supplements . and he would be a great addition to our forwards . Whats he worth?

I rate him as well but the funny thing is, many Wests supporters don't like him at all. He is often criticised for being lazy and only getting involved when he feels like it.

Having watched him play a bit more closely, I can see how these criticisms would be justified. I think he needs to be used more as an impact player than a workhorse, which seems to be how Taylor has been playing him.

Each year it seems athletes are becoming bigger, stronger, faster.

Are we as humans evolving that quickly, or are the chemicals getting better?

Only guys who I have seen pull 300 would burn a hole in the bottom of the cup with their urine.


Kieran Foran reportedly benched 178 kgs at 87 kilo body weight 5 years ago, that's an incredibly impressive lift.

I dont know what 2010 said but I saw Mr Wrights post and he was not being smart nor funny or anything at all. He posted a comment that supported 2010 then bang. As did dj and a few others. Fitz was the one being smart. Posting comments such as "your one click away" and crap like that. Then following this were comments such as posters on here are dumb and this was set up for him and his mates.

I would also like to say that banning sharks fans willy nilly on the day we make the second round of the finals is about as low as it gets from a supporters perspective. Constantly threatening bans for supporting a mate is ridiculous and not the role of the mod. The effort the mods go to in maintaining this site is appreciated and acknowledged but please mod fairly.

Now the entire forum is walking on egg shells scared of getting banned.

Funny how the mods go on about bullying and a use yet are worse than anyone else on the forum.

It's beyond a joke at this point. Anyone that expresses their opinion of sticks up for a mate should be expected to get banned now. The president had been set
