He's already had the ACL op, not quite sure how it all goes but he said theres been some fusion which I think can be an unwanted result of the surgery, more minor surgery required to correct it.
Hes training with someone
Was spotted and seen today at the Members Day at Concord. Witnessed him drive out of the Concord Oval Car Park. He was decked out in Wests Tigers training gear. Make of that what you will. It's either McDonnell playing it down or RLW is telling porkies. But he's definitely somewhat involved, otherwise why would he be hanging around?

he is a very big lad, no reason why he cant make a good strong running second rower.
The reason he cannot make a **quality** back-rower is (just like Hoppa & Nella) his strength is in running the ball into gaps - not in defence either quantitatively or qualitatively!
Back-rowers need to be able to play 60 minutes - make 20 tackles and 10 hit-ups. Even Nella was puffing at PL level when playing there.
The fact is that he is contracted to us for only this year and has an agreement to sign for 2010 if he is able to be certified fit by next January with the assistance of Leedsy & our rehab team.
As for our forward stocks for 2010 - you add the two Schirnack boys & Dwyer (& assume Skando's retention) and that is close to a full complement if we retain Galea or Payne on the cheap (and lets face it noone else wants them).
Sheens has stated continuously his desire to use Daine as a wide back-rower next year & beyond which makes alot more sense than Tupou.

I forgot that basketball was still played in this country at a professional level
More black guys in the crowd than on court…saw some of it this morning, the bledisloe equivalent looked like a high school match compared to the NBA
BTW Tame cannot drive, has already taken out a bollard in the proton

Tupou having his cleanout surgery today, flap of remaining ligament to be removed, he could only run for a couple of days before swelling.
Is training with top squad, took Nella for his op on Monday.

Hopefully this latest cleanout will allow the big fella to have a proper off season on building up the strength and endurance in the knee. He could prove handy next year if he's fit and strong enough.
