Jason Taumalolo is eager to give it his all, expressing a strong desire to play extensive minutes instead of conserving his energy for the final two years of his lucrative 10-year contract.
This season, the Cowboys will begin their 2026 campaign against Newcastle at Allegiant Stadium, with Taumalolo set to start in the front row.
Meanwhile, coach Todd Payten has been cautious, aiming to manage the 32-year-old's questionable knees, thereby maximizing his chances of playing through to the end of 2027 when his $9 million deal concludes.
Despite this protective strategy, Taumalolo remains undeterred about his approach. "I'll go all out until the wheels fall off if I had it my way," the North Queensland star shared with this media outlet.
