boxhead Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Not a good buy, Never really hit his potential and he has been going backwards from an average benchmark for a few seasons, IMO http://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/players/taulima-tautai/summary.html Edited May 21, 2013 by AndyCapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFussy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I thought he played in the centres or second row? Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else. If it's the player I'm thinking of then I'd have to agree with Andy Capp from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFussy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Wikipedia would suggest it is him and he's since moved to prop, I clearly havn't been paying enough attention. He's a big unit at 6 ft 3 and 17st 5 so if he runs his weight then he could be a decent acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry the Leit Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 He looks a big unit. I suspect that if he plays at the weekend, he'll perform like pretty much all Trinity's mid-season antipodean signings of the last decade in that he'll be blowing bubbles after about 5-10 minutes. If I were Daryl Powell I'd be using him as a spot player, running my forwards at and around him and getting Chase to go at him if they can drag him a couple away from the ruck. I hope he's a star for us, but I suspect if he is, that'll be a good number of weeks away. The Unicorn is not a Goose, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenilworth Tiger Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 https://twitter.com/AndrewGlover1/status/336752512382156800Very underwhelming showreel Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Larry the Leit Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Very underwhelming showreel Yep. Man driving ball in. He was set to sign for Cas before Millward got the boot according to his interview with Radio Leeds.

Futtocks Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Two month lay-off for Tautai. Tough luck for him. Anyone see him v Wigan? How did he look before the injury?
