Hopefully we lock him up quickly. This is the first signing we've made in a long time that I'm happy with.
Stoked!

Excellent! After the Dogs game i have been hoping for a huge guy. The Dogs monstered us. That game really highlighted how small we are.

It's a good start to our recruitment this season. Lets hope it isn't the last signing.

re: OFFICIAL - Lama Tasi to the Broncos
Admittedly I haven't seen too much of him, as watching Roosters games make nauseous...but isn't he apparently like their 5th or 6th choice prop? And their front row isn't exactly impressive either...

Like most haven't seen much of him but a hard hitting aggressive forward is what we are lacking so it is a good signing.

re: OFFICIAL - Lama Tasi to the Broncos
yeah i am wondering why he wasnt back in the 17 more permanently, but moa got a chance because tasi was injured and moa has been superb this year.
moa + jwh + kennedy is a pretty good trio if you ask me. then they've got luke odonnell who is deadset terrible but must be an auto choice for whatever reason.
the roosters have been winning games so its understandable that you wouldnt change what is working.

re: OFFICIAL - Lama Tasi to the Broncos
I like this, a lot. Hannant/McGuire to start, Tasi/Hala off the bench doesn't lose anything. We need some big mongrel (I do think Hala will get there and I can't wait to see him at his best, which I feel is coming). At 23 his best is still a couple of years away, fantastic stuff.
Now we just need Hook NOT to take the aggression out of him...

Late deals see Tasi to Broncos, Galea to Dogs
Roosters forward Lama Tasi has made a mid-season move to Brisbane in a deal that was ratified on Friday afternoon.
The Roosters granted the 23-year-old prop, who was contracted until the end of 2013, an immediate release so he could take up the offer from the Broncos.
Canterbury also finalised a contract for Danny Galea, signing the Penrith utility forward as cover for any injuries to frontline players for the rest of the season. Galea is a veteran of 134 games for the Panthers, Tigers and Raiders but hasn't been able to crack first grade at the foot of the mountains this year.
It is understood the Storm are interested in Penrith flyer Travis Robinson for next year after negotiations for a to move to Canberra broke down. Robinson was desperate to play alongside his brother, Reece, in the nation's capital and a deal was almost brokered. But the Raiders opted for Warrior Bill Tupou instead.

The Storm have lost three-quarter Matt Duffie for the year with a knee injury, but Penrith had not received any approach regarding Robinson on Friday about a possible deal for this season.
St George Illawarra attempted to bolster their halves stocks with the mid-season signing of Sam Williams, but the Raiders blocked the move in the event of injuries.
At Parramatta, a dozen players were this month told their services would not be required next season and the club wouldn't prevent most from leaving early. While Cheyse Blair has been linked to Brisbane, his manager said the move wouldn't be happening.
And Eels co-captain Reni Maitua reiterated his commitment to the blue and golds for the rest of the season, with a tweet.
Tasi's manager Jim Banaghan made contact with the Broncos at 8pm on Thursday. A deal was put together by the next morning and ratified later that afternoon.
''I've really enjoyed my time at the Roosters and I'm grateful they've let me go to pursue this opportunity,'' Tasi said.
Tasi has played 30 games for the tricolours since joining the Roosters in 2011 and, realising he was stuck behind a gun forward pack, officials granted his release request.
Newcastle signed former Canberra halfback Michael Dobson from the Super League. The Hull KR playmaker will join the Green Machine next year.

Interesting, looks like the player contacted us and the next morning there was a deal on the table.

re: OFFICIAL - Lama Tasi to the Broncos
Glad Gee or somebody over at Red Hill reads my posts.
Tasi is/was one of those players that you troll through zero tackle looking for value/potential/something! and while very few jump off the page at you, he was certainly one of them.
You only need to have seen one or two of his few games for the Roosters and you could see he has something. Now whether he has the discipline in his game to become a quality first grader, time will tell.
There is very little downside with him. We need big tough front rowers which will hopefully give us back one of the best backrowers in the game. That is Lama Tasi. He lacks experience but is only 23. He would be very low cost so certainly worth a shot.
Just about everybody in this thread has applauded this signing. How often does that happen ? :001_rolleyes:
As mentioned above ... Cheyse Blair on the other hand ... no fucking way ... he is crap with a capital C
Oink !
ps Jack Wighton next please

This makes more sense. The thought of gee doing anything proactive in regards to recruitment just doesn't add up
