NRL: With Jason Taumalolo still having three years remaining on his contract, are the Cowboys facing a headache in the near future due to his declining play?
Following Jason Taumalolo’s 22 minute Round 1 display, major questions have been raised about the $950,000 middle forward’s longevity in the NRL.
The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?But now, with his statistics dropping off over the last three campaigns, the Cowboys have been urged to clear his salary off their cap. “Given how brutal the game is on your body, Daly Cherry-Evans was given an eight-year deal and it has come up roses for the Sea Eagles.
The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio explained that the Cowboys may be forced to move Taumalolo on this year, with his stocks rapidly dropping. “You need to be able to sell players too and right now Taumalolo is sellable and another club would pick him up.“But in 2025, or 2026 or 2027 when you’re paying him a $1 million you could be left with a lemon.”
“Maybe Todd Payten is trying to look after him by saying he’s preserving him when in fact he just doesn’t have the output anymore than he did five years ago.
