Tim said once the Hopper trade went through he received a text off Jacob that had a few expletives. Would love to know what it said.

Can you f**king believe we are both going to play for the biggest club in the land (something like that)
I had the same thoughts, they definitely went off their nuts dropping F bombs and Can You Believes.... :))

Same as Prestia when his mate Caddy joined him at the Tiges!! :mhihi

Defensive Award/Club Standards winner - Back to Back!! And the Best & Fairest in 2019. Not a bad get this guy (y)

"Tim's very rounded," Leon Cameron said of Taranto. (2019 article)

"He turned 21 this week, and he's got a huge appetite to run … which is fantastic. He loves to tackle and loves to compete – he loves all the things everyone likes to watch.

"What I love is his flexibility. He plays on the wing, he plays inside and he plays forward. To learn that early in (his career) is really good.

"There's never any complaining. If I say, 'You're going to play more forward today', he'll go, 'Yep, not a problem'. I think that's why he's captured the whole group – his attitude is just spot on."

Pressure Acts - Taranto was 29th in the league this year for Pressure Acts.
Would be second in our team to Jack Graham.

12th in the League for them being Defensive Half Pressure Acts -11.9 a game.
That would put him first at Richmond for DHPA's.
(Mansell 10, Prestia 9.5, D Rioli 9.2 our top 3 for DHPA's)

A great addition to add not only a ball accumulator but someone running both ways who tackles, chases and applies pressure.

Taranto with 22.1 would slide into 2nd spot in our team.
Hopper this year 15.9 Pressure Acts a game puts him just below Liam Baker in 11th spot.
Let the good times roll!! :eyes

Took every fibre not to give it a bit of “welcome to Tigerland Timmy”.
If u see him again just give him a little "GoTiges" as u go by. If your lucky he may be willing to spare 5 for a chat, if not enjoy your stay as he is.

Could be, we will find out when someone asks him aye :LOL:

Or :unsure: He's from not far from where the Matera's come from on the map below. Got a mate whose a Messina from Messina, Sicily.

Some more as well sorry :giggle: "Tarantino is an Italian word meaning "originating from Taranto", a town in Apulia in Southern Italy. It is used, for example, as the demonym for Taranto and for the Tarantino dialect of the Sicilian language."

Could be related to the great QT o_O
