Big winger Tupou to help prop up Tigers

[innsaneink]

Look if he gets a go in the top grade I hope he finds another gear and excels for us.

But the quotes from Gentle are plain insulting. The fact the guy has been to two Balmain-Ryde Eastwood games all season and only one of those involved Tame indicates his opinion is of debatable value. The fact that Tame was hooked after one short stint and deservedly spent the rest of the match riding the pine make Gentles comments laughable

When I first read this I thought it mustve been written before yesterdays game, but reading it again (not sure on how many he's played) Im not so sure and your point is even more valid

Doesn't he come off contract this year?
They probably want to see if he is going to make the transition to a 1st grade prop… so they can decide to offer him another contract or not.

Damn.
I was hoping from the article that he was playing well and adjusting quickly but from those who've been able to actually see him play it appears not.

He is off contract, the good thing for the Tigers (not so much for Tame) is that with not playing over the last 2 years, he will come cheap if they want to re-sign him. A full off-season being able to run would do him the world of good though.

I would rather take notice of the coaching staff than some of the armchair critics on this forum.

Did you watch him against Wests last Saturday?

 

[innsaneink]

I highly doubt it, he wouldnt of posted that if he had.

Imagine having an interchange bench of….

14). Fifita
15). Moors
16). Tupou
17). Dwyer

Size, strength, power, aggression. BEAT IT!!!

with all due respect for those on our bench tonight, i think it would have had 2 be the weakest bench all year and also in the whole comp.
to win the comp you need massive impact off the bench, not the opposite. we need 3 big forwards and a 2nd rower who can also play in the backs,. thats why i think tupou would be perfect.

Dont even joke about it…

Ben Galea resigned with Hull......I thought for sure he was next....

Galea was a deadset champion!

do you need to hang s**t on a player of his caliber & commitment?

 

[Geo]

Relax….Ben Galea was one of my favorite players as well....still is....

No direspect to him more a swipe a certain recruitment choices over younger players..
