this wont help you guys out too much but i asked tame at the members only training will he play this year and he seemed pretty adamant that he will.
"A few weeks" was his reply when I asked yesterday when he might get back on the field

I think Topou will be playing front row for Balmain Ryde in the NSW Cup. He will have to play very well there if he is going to get into firstgrade. Hopefully he goes well.

It's already been stated that Tupou will be playing front row if he makes a successful comeback from injury.

That's good. It adds a bit more depth in the front row.
Very big boy and really friendly. HE would by buy of the season if he gets out on the field.
PS - Heres hoping Moors ripps in this weekend.

I can't wait for this guy to play for the Tigers this year… I genuinely think he can be the x-factor in the forwards which the Tigers are slightly lacking. After hearing how much he has bulked up and how big he already was I think he would be a perfect explosive bench player... similar to how the Eels use Fui Fui Moi Moi - big 20 to 25 minute bursts in the game.
Thoughts? And does anybody know how long away he is to coming back?

Good point,I'd forgotten about him.
Seems to me that every really heavy hitting pack has that 120 keg wrecking ball type that comes on ala Rose,Moi Moi t and gets the side some momentum after the inital oomph.
I know he is contacted with BRET and he hasnt played for them yet,but I hear 😱pen_mouth: that he is back very soon.
Love to see him on the bench in firsts to beefit up.

Potentially he will be a good addition but I'd really want to see how he comes back. He's had very little football lately. Wait and see I guess…

With the lack of football he's played over the last couple of years, he's going to need a couple of months in State Cup to get some match fitness up. There's no doubt he's a massively powerful unit but a lot is going to depend on how his knees hold up when he makes his return. I really hope he is a comeback success story because he would be great to have coming off the bench if he regains fitness and form.

Funny…...that you were agreeing yesterday that Lazo is ready for firsts yet he has played one game of Beam.

Does anyone have a realistic return date for Tupou?
I asked him a week back how long till he expects to be on the park, he replied '' a few weeks''

Anyone have any updates on Tame and how his knee is? With the Tigers looking a bit light in the forwards at the moment, it would be good to see this massive unit back on the field and running over the top of people.
Word has it he will be playing State Cup in 2 weeks time. He has been running at all training sessions and is over the knee injury - focus now on getting fitness back. I am sure Folkes would have him hurling a few times over the next month - no doubt it will be tough.
2 weeks time we will see how he goes.

Cheers for the update, that's good to hear. It would be great to see him pushing for spot on the bench by the halfway mark of the season. He could add some real impact if his comeback is successful.

I know I'm dreaming and Tupou will play in the forwards but imagine a back three of 1\. Tuqiri 2\. Tuiaki 5\. Tupou
