That is the whole point of him getting out of his Contract on compassionate grounds. His parents are ill.

Yes my old dad who has passed knew Bozo via the clubs he worked at doing his movies , Sunday movies and the like and he also said Bozo was also very arrogant person unless you were in the little circle of people , sad really as Bozo was a great player, just not well liked outside of the circle ,

Don't think popularity is a prerequisite for the job they do tho. Rugby league can be a dirty game

Yep - had to laugh where a poster earlier said he bumped in to him and Peters told him a story about Noel Kelly clocking him. The part i laughed at was where Peters reckoned he laid one on John Elford and sent him to La la land. The only way Peters would have laid one on Elford would have been a king hit which i wouldn't past the fat greek.

Momo is just as fast as Kepaoa, a much better defender, more creative, more consistent. Ok AJ is a bit more powerful, but power alone isn't enough for first grade.
There's a reason Momo has won a few premierships and AJ is a fringe bench player for the wooden spooners.
Just some whispers around the club
- tupou’s management asking for a player option 3rd year, he also wants to make a move to the centers in the coming years, canberra not a real
option
- noffa has been offered to parra / canberra / melbourne / dolphins, i wouldn’t say there is no interest, but canberra might be our only hope, we would be paying considerable freight

How many number 14’s (utility) players do you want in your
squad ?
1.Tracey
2.Taaffe
3.Hutchison
4.Turpin
5.Salmon
6.Mann
And probably all promised to be in the starting 17 for the start of the year. 😂😂

Api should be playing 80 mins
Tupou in the centres is a good move if it keeps him at the club
As far as nofo goes whatever the freight it is worth it

Surely we give him the 3rd year option to make it happen. Then offload Nofo

Would the Storm count, I mean after the salary cap rorting they still had a gun team, so excepting that what I mean is they lost Slater, Cronk, Smith and just keep filling their positions with players they invest time into and improve in their system. No doubt they aren't as successfull as they were but they just keep bringing guys in to do a job. Remembering also that they're spine of Slater, Cronk, Smith and Munster will go down as one of the best ever.
Maybe the Sharks after Ricky under Flanaghan. Not sure how legit they're cap was the year they won the comp though. From memory they were over the year before and the year after. So doubt they would count.
Imo undoubtedly the biggest rebuild and turnaround in past decades was us in 05. Sheens assembled a very handy squad and we came from nowhere we have never reached those heights again. At that time he did a pretty handy job of rebuilding the team he inherited from Terry Lamb.

Is that true about Wighton? At 13 or 2RW? Very interesting move by souths if true

Nah I agree with you, mostly just looking at the squad as it is rather than as I'd want it to be if you get me...

I say give Tupou whatever he wants, he should make a move to the centres sooner or later anyway. If considerable freight for Nofa is more than half (i.e. $300k+) then it would give me pause because we will need to backfill his spot with another winger anyway, but if it's half or less you make that happen because he just needs to go, I'd even entertain a swap plus cash for cotric, would make some sense for both parties.
I’m interested in this whole Topou to the centres idea. To me he doesn’t display many of the skills you would usually look for in a centre, and even if he did are centres more valuable than wingers in the current game? Im not sure they are.

Not saying he can't do it, the guy hits like a truck. But it's still a gamble to pay someone $800k plus and play them so drastically out of position. He played fullback for the whole first stanza of his career, not many players come to mind that have shifted from fullback to back row...

We can say we'll give him a crack at centre next preseason, if he's better than our other options then he plays there. If he's not he doesn't. No guarantees for anyone
