Tame Tupou

[Peaches]

Is he any chance against the Cows?

It sounds like he is yet to complete a final medical if they are going to look at his knee when he gets back from Brisbane so I would say it wouldn't be for a week or two if in fact this year.

 

[MightyMaggy]

Certainly looks promsing, if he can get back to his best fitness and form.

 

[steven_tiger]

I'm actually very excited about this signing.

I think he'll be a great purchase, and gives us someone tall to kick to out wide.

Hopefully he can regain his fitness and start playing some footy!

 

[tigerdre]

Good signing & even better if we got him for $500 + match payments
won't be affecting our salary cap to much

I just think because the deal was done before June 30, and the club is only announcing now, that he will play against the cowboys.

1) Gallant
2) Tuiaki
3) Ayshford
4) Lawrence
5) Tupou

That looks good.

But i heard Tupou hasn't played a game in at least a month. As much as i'd like to see him play, i don't think his first game should be at FG level. Maybe for Balmain or Wests for a couple of games first.

He is better than Ryan though.

He's not going to lineup against the Cowboys with no match fitness under his belt and some rehab still to do on his knee.

100% agreed.

I wonder if Beau Ryan is feeling a tad bit nervous.

With Collis now gone & if Ayshford bulks up in the off season & moves to a ball playing lock… you never know we might find Beau Ryan in the centres or something.

Who knows

I think we'll find Junior Roqica breathing down his neck next year.

Bring it on I say!

What is the rush to push Ayshford into the forwards? Many on the previous forum got their knickers in knots, because Sheens was pushing backs into the forwards(As quite rightly they should have), but now there are many wanting to push Ayshford into the forwards.
He is young, has a good physique for a centre, has good pace and looks like he could be a good centre, so leave him there.
We have other up-and-coming players in the lower grades, WHO ARE PLAYING IN THE FORWARDS, why not bring them on to play in the NRL forwards?

Nah, that would be just too damn easy :unamused: Let Sheens continue to screw with players attempting to transform them into something their not. I mean, look at Johnny Morris, he turned out to be a great option in the halves for Wests over the last 3 years :laughing: Worked like a charm.

Leave backs as backs, forwards as forwards, halves as halves etc. The make-shift mentality is one main reason why the Tigers have not performed for three consecutive seasons. Let's hope the current Australian Coach can do away with this ideology for once and for all in 2010\. To see specialists playing in key positions next season would be extremely refreshing.

 

[Muffstar]

Yeah I wouldn't rush him just yet, but hopefully if he does regain fitness give him a run

 

[Ryan]

Tame was in the change rooms after today's game. Apparently he starts doing some form of training with first grade tomorrow. The guy is massive though. He's easily as tall as Galloway but with more meat on him.

Not only in first grade,,sheens has players playing out of position in the feeder clubs to,and its going to cost Leo a premiership..

Notice Ryan has been better than usual in the last two games? Coincidence? :laughing:

Good to hear. I can just imagine him and Tuiaki causing all sorts of damage on the wings next season. I really hope Tupou has a strong off season and gets his knee sorted.

At least he has stepped up, something that some players don't do. Having said that, when Tame is back, I would drop him.
