He requested in 2014 ish that his eligibility for QLD be reviewed but the NRL blocked it.

A few years ago he then said he is happy to be considered for the blues.

It's a bit silly, but its long sorted.


Funnily enough Staggs said a few weeks ago he goes for QLD, but he is blues eligible.

Rules are a bit funny, it is a bit weird that a guy born and lived in qld til age 10 is considered by the NRL as a blues player.

For who and by who?

For the fans, anyone that knows the story doesn't want some Qld'er playing for us. Qld might be fine with NSWelshmen playing for them (Inglis), but we don't need them.

For Keary himself he's made his feelings clear enough. If he's backtracked now it's only for money and a higher profile. He was fine with being in the Qld junior emerging squad, but when picked for NSW City, he withdrew with injury despite playing every game for Souths.

For NSW management, if picking him for City means they're considering him for origin, he kinda failed that test when he didn't play.

If they pick him for game 1, I hope we get flogged. Change the stupid eligibility rules so he can fuck off back to Qld.

Wanting one Queenslander to ger flogged rather than 17 of them. Lovely stuff.

Klemmer: 54.1 * 13 = 703.3 (703 points)
Taupau: 52.3*14 = 732.2 (732 points)

Although it seems it is time to probably pick them both up as Knights have tougher fixtures so tackle count will be up again (however based on last week his tackle count and main source of points can massively decrease in a blowout) while Taupau is facing Titans and Panthers who are 4th and 1st for most MT (with JFH, Kelly, Peachey, Carty, Cleary high on the list, Maloney top but suspended) so could get extra TBs and offloads

Bump, surely Taupau makes more sense than Klemmer and is thus likely to be a keeper as a backup FRF on bench (with DPP). Thoughts (relevant to community team and other people's teams for sure)

Taupau's been a gun for years. Minutes always a concern which leads to a cluster of slightly below average scores, then he goes boom and you feel good about him again.

Plays the 1st bye and priced slightly below his average as far as I can tell, so you're not overpaying.

Has a potential upside if his minutes go back up to the 60 odd from last year, but doesn't need to and might not happen unless there's injuries.

Manly are winning without Marty's output and it seems as though Des has told him to hold back on the Offloads. He averaged 3 offloads a game last year and had at least 1 offload in every game. At the moment he is only averaging 1.7 offloads a game (had 5 last game) with 3 where he has had 0 offloads. That is an average of 4 points per game he is missing out on from last year.
