Player Misi Taulapapa

[Skinny_Ravs82]

Gee the Sharks are getting a lot of new players next year, Hannay, taulapapa, villa, Fraser Anderson, Leon Bott. Why do they need so many wingers & centres, there only losing Nigel Vagana? Has Luke covell resigned yet, maybe we're still after him?

Covell resigned a while back. It's interesting they've gone digging at centers and wingers; I thought Darren Albert was pretty good, what's going on? I think I heard he's being dropped but I don't see why he's good

Luke Covell re-signed with the Sharks for 2 years about a month ago. I think the Sharks are stupid going after all these centres and wingers, they need more balance in their forward pack.

Maybe they see Albert as a defensive weakness, i thought he was pretty good as well, i'd be happy for him to come to the warriors if hes released.

He's regarded as one of the fastest wingers in the game, but maybe he's getting on a bit and just can't cut it in the NRL anymore.

good stuff for his career i see he has been scoring a try every game in the Queensland Cup. Pity we couldnt keep him. It looks like Cooper Vuna is leaving to play in England.

Yes my friend knows Cooper Vuna and the warriors have not offered him a contact for next year.

I hope I am wrong as I believe he is going to be a very good player in the near future.

Last time we looked Misi Taulapapa was still playing for the Sheffield Eagles in England. He actually left the same year as the update and moved to Featherstone Rovers then Newcastle Thunder. In 2021 he signed with Doncaster RLFC and just last week at the ripe age of 40 he signed a 1 year contract to go another round with Doncaster in a player/coach role.

NEWS | MISI TAULAPAPA SIGNS PLAYER-COACH ROLE WITH THE DONS​

The Dons are delighted to confirm the experienced Misi Taulapapa has signed a player-coach deal with the club for 2023.​

Taulapapa’s influence in the dressing room has made a big difference with the Dons reaching the Betfred League One play-off final in both of his seasons at the Eco-Power Stadium.

While he will still be looking to make an impact on the field, the new deal will also see him transition onto the coaching staff to add his extensive rugby league knowledge.

The Samoan international has played more than 300 career games, spending time with NRL sides New Zealand Warriors and Cronulla Sharks, before a long spell with Sheffield Eagles when he arrived in England.

After agreeing his deal, Taulapapa said: “I’m looking forward to this new season and being able to learn a lot from the coaching staff at the club as well as giving my all on the pitch for the Dons.

“The togetherness within the group is massive and the fact we’ve managed to keep the majority together from last season should mean we’re able to hit the ground running both in pre-season and when the league campaign starts.

“Culture can go a long way in rugby league and the people at the top of the club have been clear that our aim has got to be promotion in 2023.”
