  • Toops

    Is in career best form. Makes huge metres in hit ups, seems faster than he's ever been, shows brilliant skills in kicking and passing and has formed a devastating attacking combination with Latrell.

    Just a short while ago, the Chookpen was almost unanimous about getting rid of him. I don't think anyone would suggest that now.

    His transformation from last season's efforts has been nothing short of remarkable. A miracle.

    He's literally displaying every quality you'd want out of a winger atm.

    Strong running out of our own end, leaping for tries, good finishing, ball skills and link up play with his centre, off loading, solid defence.

    He's absolutely in career best form and should be the first player re-signed.

        Tupou is just another example of the chook pen getting it wrong it's funny watching all the abuse these players get then seeing the same people praise them later no support from the so called fans only whinging

          He looks a little bigger ....not getting tossed backwards anymore.
          ​A year or two back the call from everyone was to flick him to make salary cap room, now it would be hard to find anyone who would think that !

            To be fair most peoples criticisms last year were well founded, and based on people knowing what he is capable of.

            This year he is showing what he truly can do, and I think a large portion of that is playing outside latrell.

              I've always thought he's a confidence player - when confidence is up, he's a gun when it's down he's a bum.
              It all started with the Auckland 9s.
              There's a reason why the young and idealistic become the old and cynical.
              It's called experience.

                  Yes, not only were most of us critical but am sure the coaching staff were as well

                  Toops deserved the criticism as his poor form was obvious for a lengthy period

                  what's now obvious is the hard work he's put in over the off season

                  No longer the weakest link we turn our attention to the other side of the paddock....

                  who's first to put the boot in

                  SKD's indescrections are so common for so long he's an insitition who's now forgiven every week by the commentators.....

                  Carry that ball every where you go "hands like feet"

                    The epitome of the 'confidence player'.

                    What a talent he is.

                      What Warren Smith said about SKD at the State Theatre was probably the funniest thing I have ever heard a RL commentator say. I laughed out loud from it.

                        Toops is a legitimate beast.

                        A must re-sign.

                          Most people's criticism was over the top and sensational it's the same every year there's always players who the so called supporters dump on all sw's so then we get threads like this it's not surprising though when the same people rated 2014 and 2015 a failure

                            Toops has been outstanding. I'm very happy to see him return to form. Definitely a confidence player and really has formed a great combination with Latrell. Excellent stuff

                              At least there is praise given, as a supporter you want your team to win, when they're not winning, it's normal to criticise, when they play well you acknowledge it. Players come and go, the club lives on, and that is who we support in the end.
