Milne and Suli will be our centres. Fonua and Noffa on the wings. We need another prop and backrower. We have our centres.

I doubt Fonua will be our starting winger.

Why not? He was good enough to be a consistent starter for the Storm.

Much rather have Rona come over and start for us. Really don't need 2 Nofos in the side. We are lacking height and primal try scoring abilities. Rona can bring that for us.

When did Rona sign?
 
Wonder what all that stuff about Daniel Tupou was about when he was spotted at concord oval when we were training…

I never implied that, although considering his circumstances and the situation his RU club find themselves in, I am pretty confident he will be here next year. Although there is a slight chance I am wrong, and in that case I will be completely fine with Fonua starting at wing next year.

He will be a starting winger don't worry.

Exactly! Nofo or Fonua, not both. We need height and genuine pace in the back line.
 
Rumour on Facebook saying the tigers are amougest 6 clubs going after Morgan Boyle from titans, tbh he looks like a good prospect his also 111 kg, would be another great addition

I received a call from a breathless contact of mine who says the Daniel Tupou to Tigers switch is a real goer.

It makes sense after I revealed the Chooks will re-sign Michael Gordon as a goal-kicking winger, with Teddy in the number one.

Tupou is back in decent form and while he can’t find a spot in the back line at Bondi Junction, he’ll face stiff competition for a wing spot at Concord with Tui Lolohea, Mahe Fonua, Malakai Watene-Zelezniak, Taane Milne and Corey Thompson all jumping aboard the bus to battle it out with Nofoaluma, Kevin Naiqama and Moses Suli for positions in the back line.

An on-song – and mid-flight – Tupou is a solid addition for any team, though.

I’ve also heard some rumblings about a big-noting club official who is headed for a major fall – all due to his arrogant and rude manner.

Tupou definitely won't be at the Roosters next year but, what really interests me is that the Tigers are the only club that have been linked to him. I would put this on the highly plausible pile.
 
Curtis Rona or Daniel Tupou? Not sure whether Wests Tigers would take both when the team desperately needs quality back rowers.

1\. Lolohea
2\. Rona
3\. Fonua
4\. Suli
5\. Tupou
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks

Would be the best backline we've had in years…
