  • Junior Tupou?

    Reported in the Telegraph that we are in talks with him to lure him from the Tigers at the end of 2024.

    Have we decided that we need to recruit about 10 wingers or something?

      Makes sense... having Will Smith, Jennings, Murphy, that random yawnion gun and a few others on our books has us covered if our entire backline gets injured.

        Don’t forget Dom Young as well.

          Manu will move to FB when Teddy retires
          Suaalli leaving
          Tupou possibly retiring

                Do you have this link?

                He’s a good player, elite speed but I agree with other posters. How many outside backs do we need? I guess it means the wallabies bloke brushed us

                  Sorry, it was in one of those articles that have numerous sub-headings with different pieces of gossip. Apparently Canberra are also interested (he's from Canberra originally). I have to use a paywall getaround to find it - will try later.

                      It was just a small piece. Basically said that Benji wants to keep him, Tiges top tackle and line breaker for the season. Said both Canberra and Easts are reported to be interested as well, so he has "options ".

                        In an article with a headline about Phil Gould

                        ROOSTERS LOOK TO RAID TIGERS
                        The Wests Tigers have a fight on their hands to keep winger Junior Tupou. The 21-year-old made 22 appearances on the Tigers last season, leading the club in both line breaks and tackle breaks.
                        Coach Benji Marshall wants to keep him but it is understood Tupou has interest from his former club Canberra and the Sydney Roosters.

                          Yawnion man may not have brushed us yet. Tupou could be a backup option in case he does.
                          EASTS TO WIN!

                            Every NRL player that's off contract at the end of 2024 will be signing with the Roosters according to News Corp. The NRL has given us permission to increase our 30 man squad to 357.

                              You’d think at least one of these young blokes coming through will amount to something, Lewis Murphy, Henare-Schuster, Xavier Chatfield-Mooka etc
