    I meant the stumpy wingers built like a small prop. They can't jump, can't turn and chase, seem to lose speed at younger age. Toops is a Giraffe.

      Both Toups and Young have more tries and line breaks than To'o and he is ranked 245th in tries off bombs.

      Can't see the hype. Definitely not worth $800K when compared to other top wings. Lomax is on $650K and I think he is better. Coates $550K, Toups $400K. What more does he offer than these players to justify $800K+?

      If released he would probably join Luai to top up his super too. Looks more worried about money so he won't be coming here.

        It’s not just about scoring tries. It was in the 80s and 90s. Wingers have the important role of running from their own end. To’o is very good at it but IMO nobody is better than Toops.

          I wonder why we have not been very active in the player market?


          There is a reason we didn’t sign Lomax. We spoke to him.

            That's right and his running metres are good. And if it was the Aussie version of the NFL and he was a running back then he would be close to the best. But plenty of wings running metres are good. But they are not asking for $800K+ and they have other tricks in their arsenal that To'o is not as good at. Good player but not at $800K.

            So what are you holding 13? Two pairs or a full house?

                Is Thirteen wearing the dark glasses to hide the off-suited 2 and 3 bluff?

                    Toops is my favourite current Rooster. I love him!

                    With that said and if we are being fair dinkum, To'o is the best in the comp when it comes to yardage and then daylight. You should avoid kicking the ball to his corner at all costs!

                        The Dragons have just made the signing of Reimis Smith official with immediate effect. Aged 27, the New Zealand center has signed with the club until the end of the season.

                        Only signed till the end of the season in Catalans. Maybe he is coming back to us. There was talk earlier in the year and Robbo and Macca are good mates. Who knows?

                          Storm making room for Stefano. NAS will be next to find a new home.

                            NAS would be worth a two year deal in my view. Yep, I know he's not JWH and I know we've got some good props, but I kinda like Whyte at lock. I think the Va'a boys are best nursed along, rather than pitch-forked into first grade ahead of time. And he's big and mean. Bring that on.

                              last year absolutely. This year nah. He’s slow and and is packing a few too many kg. If Bellamy is struggling to get the best out of him I doubt any coach could

                                I'd be going after Stefano and would go as high as $800/$900k a year.
