Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I thought Tigers always rated Tupou. Yes he had some clangers in him (mostly handling if I recall correctly) but he was very young when he was here. Always had good carries in my opinion. He hasn’t kicked on at Phins or Chooks but I think he has potential from what I saw of him during his time here. I am ok with it for the right price and not top 30.

Agree. Also think he has built up a bit. Whether this does him any good remains to be seen.

Lot of IFS in our latest bunch of signings

Never a good sign if the word IF is the first thing you say about their signing

Of course he does. It’s called negotiation.

It’s up to the club to decide if they want to accept that and sign him.

He’s already on a guaranteed top 30 contract for the next 18 months for the Roosters. He could just choose to stay.i didnt think of that.

Fair enough , i didnt take his current contract situation in to account.

"If" what you say is true........

Hope we get Tyrone May for next year, he'd be great for our squad, versatile....Also The 4th Fainu to round things up....

If bennett couldn't get anything out of Schuster there's no way Marshall will, and Toupo leaves here, struggles at the dolphin, then same at Easts, so our genius of a coach think he's a must to get back here, any wonder we are a bottom 4 roster year after year

Benji must be a seriously good coach then having to manage a "bottom 4 roster"

Averillo is a quality NRL signing. Tupou, Schuster and Dunster are relatively low cost. Every team has to balance the budget and fill out their rosters from the mid 25s to 30. Their is a lot of upside to their signings if they perform.

Benji not paying him anything to find out and how much did the Dolphins pay Tupou to discover they had better - it's called cap management.

Eels offered Xerri Averillo money, but he preferred to take less to play in Melbourne …

So wld I...so long as Bellamy stays around in some capacity
Storm doing a good job of rebuilding their backline

Had one or two games where he looked like a star. One might have been a Good Monday game. Outside of those couple, bleh. And hasn’t kicked on at all since leaving. Not sure how a switch will magically flick now.
