| Could there be a clue in the 'over the moon' quote?

I thought that but he hasn't played international, unless you count Exiles.

| I really can't see why Tahu would improve us and I would certainly not be "over the moon" if we signed him.
He will be 34 in October and has spent most of this NRL season playing second row in the reserve grade.
When we sign an ageing international outside back it rarely works out well e.g. Sing, Blacklock.
He would be a waste of money and a waste of an overseas spot IMO.

Might be just me, but I really liked watching both of them in a black and white shirt

I would say that Blacklock did work out well (and he was only 28 when he joined us and 30 when he retired) but otherwise pretty much spot on

| I liked Blacklock and Sing. They were both good honest players. However Blacklock hardly ever got a decent pass and by the time Sing joined us he had lost most of his pace and was chased down all too easily.

We definitely got good use out of Blacklock, our passing deficiencies notwithstanding. Scored plenty of tries for us. Sing less so.

| lots of myths around about blacklock - he did well for the club, was well worth watching and scored some good tries. would have scored a lot more with top notch service

| I hadn't appreciated Blacklock was only 28 when he signed.
IIRC Sing was about 32.
Either way both were rather younger than Tahu.
I would rather we went for a younger player rather than an ageing international. Someone like Colin Best. Or Talanoa.
Unless of course we are signing someone to sell passes rather than score tries?

If we are still looking around the NRL, id prefer we looked for Hooker, must be some decent young hookers around Toyota cup that would like a chance in super league. Most nrl teams only play with the 1 hooker so must be some quality not getting 1st team opportunities

Has a cup winners medal too, and would have had a GF appearance if he hadn't been too injured to carry on the next season.
There was a lot of banter at the time but he was a pretty good acquisition by the club and his tries to games ratio is excellent.
Perhaps he's ready for a comeback?
