Benji recruited him last season so he's one of his guys. The guy has played about 3 Cup games, is very young and has more experienced players ahead of him...can you hear yourself?
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
It is good he took the initiative to communicate with fans. I'm just unsure whether the part about his daughter was needed. Regardless, hope she recovers. Footy is just a game at the end of the day.
The very good news is that even if To'a stays he is no longer expected to be the first choice centre. He has clearly been replaced. Next we need to sign some experienced forward depth to put Royce and Seyfarth on notice.
Suli could be a good backup. Just don't think he's worth a lot of coin anymore, he's lost some athleticism and could be snagged at the right price. However except for a couple years at Manly, he's not been part of winning teams.
Luciano seems like a dunderhead but for the right price would be a...

This is much less about tampering and more about Weidler and his mate Chammas pissing on the Bears and Weidler and Gould pissing on a rival news network in Fox, all disguised under that headline. Weidler is a massive turd.
Off the top of my head...Ryley Smith at 9 (playing reserves for Parra), Matt Timoko and Rocco Berry in the centres and backrowers I have no idea. Focus for me would not be on NRL rookies and these are backups who can fill in when needed, not to be first-choice starters.
