Tame Tupou [Discussion]

[Tiger_Al]

His player profile read Wing/Prop when I read it the other day…

 

[T-REXX]

he will be used as 2nd rower….

At 117 kgs he can play where every he wants….

Hopefully a wide running one at that.

There is no room for Tupou in the 3/4's. Fitzy will make sure of that..

Defence would be an lssue surely…?

Who knows mate. I reckon the Tigers D will be better again next season, but given the amount of time Tame has spent on the sidelines he may well start in the State Cup.

is he really 117kg??? I knew he was big…but jeez he's put on the kegs!

 

[Granto87]

Yeh he does have some size about him could well be Sheens new project sucesful or not he is certainly big enough for the front row just hope his knee holds up. Cant wate for next season to see what positions every one ends up in and who misses out!!

How heavy was he when he was playing with the Broncos or in ESL???

PS- My mate Pizza shop Mick is pushing 160…

imagine TNT and Tame on the wings in this kind of form..

Was roughly 104 kgs at the Broncos.. 117 is massive, even if he is being groomed for the forwards. I'm sure folksy will get him to shed the kilos pretty quick though.

I reckon he'll get down to around 110-112kg.

 

[Spartan117]

Impressive, certainly not playing at 117Kgs from that compilation.

Wrecking ball in the making…

 

[Granto87]

Good to see that you tube clip it has got me excited to see how he goes next year! He seems the same sort of player as TNT just run straight and hard! Im sure if he partners Tnt on the other wing there will be alot of scared wingers on the other teams.

 

[balmain boy]

From memory, his attack was very good but got caught out of position in defence on the wing. Not sure if it was any different in the UK. But the 3T's out wide. That would be a site to behold!

Yeah, I recall him being an all or nothing defender, flying out of the defensive line whenever he was under pressure.. he'd either smash his opposite or they'd go right past him to the tryline.

 

[Spartan117]

Any good under the high ball.

 

[Aubanon]

Correct me if im wrong and apologies if aleady mentioned, but isn't sheens responsible for manufacturing another prop - a Mr R. Wikki.

 

[fainty]

i think ruben was still a centre when sheens was coaching him…dont think he went into the forwards till the late 90's...although I could be wrong.
