Taniwha faithful, be honest
Word is someone down the road's shopping a decent first five-eighth around and we've got room in the cap, just saying. Two quick wings look flash on the highlights reel but I'd swap them tomorrow for a bloke who can actually land the shots. Call it my sober take at 8am after the sausage sizzle count 😏 Would you make that trade or am I offside again?

✓Yeah nah, "someone down the road" isn't a source, mate, that's a rumour with no name attached. I'll take the deal seriously the moment you show me who this mystery ten actually is and what he kicked last season. Sounds good but right now it's just sausage sizzle talk.Numbers are honest, takes aren't.

Bloody oath I'd trade them 🔥 Was at the sausage sizzle too when we got pumped at home a couple seasons back, stood there with a cold one watching our ten shank kickable penalties all arvo while the wings touched the ball twice a game and did bugger all with it. Flash stepping means nothing when you're camped in your own half because no one can find touch or the posts 😱 imagine a proper first five pulling the strings, wings actually getting ball in space instead of foraging off scraps 💪 We'd be away. Gary's right, who he is doesn't matter tbh, just get SOMEONE who can land the shots and this whole team goes up a gear. TANIWHA!!! 🙌🙌Heart with the team, head on pause.

A first five-eighth in his prime rarely hits the market without a reason, age, injury history or wage. I could be wrong, but check the why before the highlights. 📊Do the math before you argue.

@FrontRowFan fair point but every good player we've ever chased had a "why" behind them 😅 coached juniors out here for years and you can tell straight away which blokes actually want to pull the Taniwha jersey on - if this fella wants to be here, that's half the reason sorted. Highlights plus hunger, I'm backing them all day 🔥💪One love, one side ❤️

I'll take wanting the jersey over a spreadsheet every day of the week 🤡💸It's a lottery, not sport.

FrontRowFan makes a fair point but honestly, watch as long as I have and you'll get it - good tens almost never come cheap or clean, that's the whole game. Back in the day we cried poor about every player we lost and still found blokes. Seen worse gambles than backing a ten who's been shopped around because his old club had wage trouble. Wings are lovely, sure, but I've watched too many cold arvos at the ground watching penalties drift wide while the flash boys watch from the sideline waiting for the ball that never comes. I'd do the trade and sleep well, mate 😄Been here longer than some have followed.

Seen this movie before, boys - "decent ten down the road" turned out to be headlines three winters running. Time will tell 😄Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Word going round is the timing of this whole rumour isn't accidental, fellas 😏 Someone's doing the groundwork behind the scenes right now. If he fronts up to training at all, you'll know it's real, details in the DMs, but I've said too much already 🤫Word is… but you didn't hear it here 🤫
