Daniel Tupou

[player 1]

Any time frame for his return?

[Bigchook]

I'd say he'll be back around round 20.

[Thirteen]

2 weeks.

[Maxy Walker]

Would be nice to think our whole attack might suddenly fall into place when he’s back. It certainly won’t hurt.

[Horry]

He said 4 weeks yesterday at the game

I think we miss him and his hit ups off our line Too much work for Ferguson, as Manu just doesnt cut it at this stage with hit ups off the line. With Tupou and Ferguson we can get some impetus early on in the tackle count which will hopefully see a bit better attack

It also gives us a full complement of centres and wingers rather than having to play Aubo in the centres. Plus the extra height on the wing for kicks. Plus the combo with Latrell which was looking good. It could potentially make a big difference.

As so often the damage is not the play you use but the replacement not being any good. Robinson was terrible and Aubbo effectively shuts down that side for attack. We miss Toups incredibly.

[Waylander]

I'm a little worried about unrealistic expectations when Toups returns. The guy is very much a confidence player, and I think it will take him a while to get back to his best when he comes back in.

It will be an immediate benefit to move Manu back to the right though. The poor guy has a great right foot step, which he is completely unable to use stuck on the left wing. That and the fact that Aubbo has a very strong preference not to pass.

[Cockadoodledoo]

I hope he remembers the way through the front door.

So Manu back to right centre? I have shivers thinking about our defence on that side again.

It helps not having back rowers in the centres. What happened to him again? He ripped a pec or something didnt he?

I thought Robinson was alright?

Looks like we wont see him in 1st grade again though.

[4 the all in brawl]

4 weeks til he starts or plays the last 5 minutes from the bench?......

Did well with Fergo’s first try, but what everyone seems to credit Aubo for was his defence, two of yesterday’s try’s by manly directly involved poor efforts from him, time to go to pensioners club the titans.
