Junior Tupou #254

[Tiger_Yoshi]

If true, don't let the door hit you on the way out...ungrateful....Tigers gave him an offer to stay, they gave him his start...

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

10 day window coming up.
It would hurt bad if Luai and Tupou both say no either mode of 10 day period.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Meh. Still have Noffa.

Mate, he’s one of plenty. But I always think that you keep who you want to keep, maybe there is a little more to it.

What evidence is there that Luai is saying no?

Sorry, but he’s not worth crying over at this stage. Things may change in 2024, but I won’t lose any sleep over it in the short term.

Don’t rub it in 😬

It’s certainly possible. Luai very clearly stating he hasn’t actually signed anything yet, so it’s more paper talk.
Unless someone on here knows more.
By the way, if I was offering g him that sort of dough and contract period I’d want him right now, not in another 12months.

 

[Kaito]

We're idiots if we let him go imo without
at least putting up a fight. Still have cap
space for 2025- it doesn't make sense...

Especially what we're willing 2 pay busted
Olam. Don't know if I beleive this [sad face]

 

[GNR4LIFE]

space for 2026- it doesn't make sense...

I doubt very much our club wouldn’t have made an offer

 

[Telltails]

Geez that's poor retention on the clubs part.

Carayyanis & Read are saying we don't want
to get into a bidding war, and that we have
2 weeks (not 10 days to counter). Just really murky at the moment man, dunno...

It’s safe to say no one knows their head from their arse in every aspect of the 10 day period. Jumping at shadows.

Depends on what the offer is. If he's been offered 800k a season, would you match it?

Didn’t say there was…

 

[Telltails]

Of course not.

 

[weststigerman]

Of course not.

Then it might a good decision to let him go.

 

[SeanT]

Not a bidding qar but another 50k or extra year id offer.

Hes def a keeper.

Get rid of Nofo and Naden for peeks sake.

On the plusside id rather him go to the Dolphins then anyone else.

 

[Telltails]

Then it might a good decision to let him go.

There is probably not a winger in the game on 800k and certainly highly doubt Junior Tupou is it. So at this point not convinced there is anything good about it.

Never been a big fan of him. Always seemed to be overrated on this forum....clutching at straws for something to happen at the Tigers but he never went up a gear. Not hungry enough for the ball, something not there?
Fingers crossed for Lobb or Alaimalo to easily fill in that gap?
