Prop Siosiua Taukeiaho of the CATALANS DRAGONS has failed a medical exam that would have allowed him to sign a contract with the Canterbury Bulldogs of the NRL.
After just one season, Taukeiaho was mutually released by the French club, giving the Tonga international the opportunity to pursue a more local opportunity.
The early departure of the former Sydney Roosters prop from Catalans was justified by his desire to spend more time with his family. A move to Canterbury is largely anticipated to occur in 2024.
Nevertheless, Channel 9 revealed this morning that Taukeiaho failed the Bulldogs’ physical, which would prevent him from playing in the 2024 season opener.
Weidler declared, “Siosiua Taukeiaho will not be joining the Bulldogs.”
“He failed the Bulldogs’ medical exam that he underwent last week. He will need surgery for a foot problem, so he won’t be ready for the new year.
“He’s not coming to play for the Bulldogs.”
