Brian "Bizza" To’o

[BlackWhiteGold]

Definitely won’t unless they get something in return

Who’s to say To’o didn’t ask for a release back in May knowing his good mates Luai & Turuva were heading our way. Panthers & Tigers could have then spoke and agreed on a swap deal with Papalii plus we’ll throw in Kepaoa immediately. Maybe Panthers didn’t want to announce then to avoid publicity about everyone leaving.

Luai, To’o and Turuva won’t help us unless we get some bloody forwards first.

The war chest was useless in our attempts to retain Stef.

We’ve lost 3 big name forwards, I’d be happy with one big name replacement, two reliable tackling regular first grader forwards plus To’o
I’d pay up for him if it is at all a possibility

Maybe he has a couple of UK forwards half signed already?

They would have to be a lot better than the pommie forward that we let go for this year a few weeks ago.Let's hope Sheens has nothing to do with selecting them

 

[the enforcer.]

184 centimetres?

Mate im 6ft or 182cm. saw him at Springwood one day , and i had a good inch on him in height. But it was cold so there may have been shrinkage .

I tend to think they measure them up with their shoes on. Common theme with footballer heights short players are listed as taller and the taller players are listed as shorter maybe to create an even playing field.

That’s the Wests Tigers way though.

Get rid of 3 starters and bring in 3 new positional starters in - net gain is squad improvement doesn’t occur.

Richo has at least said we are a prop short now however so maybe there is hope.

I'm more than happy for you to defend him making errors because of an injury, but by the same token you can't praise him for doing good things while having it. That's not logical

That’s one of the silliest and illogical things I’ve ever read. Crazy take.

If someone makes an error or misses a tackle because they have a busted shoulder or a busted leg, you can 100% defend them.

If that player then manages to come up with a clutch play like a match winning goal/try/line break/tackle/whatever, you’re saying they shouldn’t get praise for it?

What should they get? Criticism? Makes absolutely no sense

To'o manager to meet with Penrith today per. Wielder

3 big name veterans, our go-to guys got a chance
and they've failed us for 3 years. Shame Klemmer
isn't one of them either in all honesty. Good riddance

Replacements are on their way and they'll know
what they're signing up for too next year lessgo.

Be surprised if the outcome is anything other than “To’o will be seeing out his contract”

Would absolutely love it if Luai has been in To’o ear everyday and managed to get him to want to join is though.

His manager is Farahs best mate, Liam Ayoub

Doubt Robbie would have anything to do with a sudden change of heart if that’s the card getting played.

Still be surprised if the Panthers don’t stand firm.

Interesting that us fans bag the crap out of Papa & Stefano for wanting out yet begging/praying that To’o wants out to join us by getting a release from a new contract extension.

This story won't go away it seems. Ayoub meeting
with Penrith today is very interesting considering
most things are done over the phone these days,
some robust conversations will be had - Panthers
will be pissed this is coming out just now when they
are about to make their run for the finals haha

He needs to roll with his boy, Romey.

Feels like Luai sold him the dream.

Come roll with your best friend, lead this team to the promise land. Be remembered forever, whilst getting paid so well.

Thanks Jarome.

No they should equally be judged on either side. You can't just glaze someone to no end because they're injured and did something good, but by the same token give the cop out excuse that they're injured whenever they make an error to make their performance balance out to look perfect
