I've said it before that I think Toops is one of the few in the squad that gets to call his shots completely. We will get the cap relief from the NRL to retain him so I think he would be able to fit into the cap on rolling 1 year deals given he is still a vital member of the team. I can see him re-signing for 1 more season and then maybe moving over to the ESL in 2025.
He has never struck me as a money-hungry player but wouldn't begrudge him leaving end of this year to get a huge deal to score tries for fun in England for a couple years until he retires.
Either way, the bloke is an absolute legend and one of the finest outside backs to pull on the RWB. -
And I hope he manages to become the all-time leading try scorer for the Chooks (7 to go?) as he deserves to be recognised as one of the best wingers in the history of this great Club!Comment

never know but he doesn't mention that we'd get salary cap relief for toops because he's been with us for a decade which makes you think he's been listening to the noise from other clubs that want him rather than hearing something out of the roostersOriginally posted by BigCok007 View PostComment

An ever green. The best aerialist of all time. He can stay for as long as he likes.Comment

Completely agree, he’s earned the right to make the decision. Hope you’re right!Comment

He pretty much played as good as he ever has last year. No reason for him to consider leaving. He is held in such high esteem by the club, there is no way he would be forced out. Young is going to play on the right, as both Allan & Paulo were only signed on 1 year deals as stop gap measures. I've seen Murphy play both sides of the field, but he can bide his time (IF we actually sign him) for as long as Toops wants to play as far as I'm concerned.Comment

Mole is just guessing.
He doesn't have connections at the club anymore.Comment

Roosters will not get rid of the only remaining player to qualify for the long service allowance.Comment

These 'journalists ' do their 'research ' by trawling through fan websites like ours. Fools, dolts and thick as two planks. I might start some threads with absolute whoppers so I can hooks these daft bints, just for a laugh.Comment

as jwh will be off next year, tupou would be the only one able to use the long service allowance?
additionally, would this amount be going up with the new salary cap increase, if so give it all to him to keep him?Comment

No, I believe it’s a load of rubbish.Comment

He is very dirty on us atm because we don’t feed him infoOriginally posted by Rooster_6 View PostComment

No way he will be let go- especially that we have a 200k head start on him. Plus he is only 30-he has 2 maybe 3 really good years in him. Id be devastated to see him in another NRL teams coloursComment

I can't see him going to another NRL club. In which case a year or two of Super League might be more attractive for him, and that might be the most attractive option (rather than staying put) if he feels his body is one the wane.
The concern with Toops is his body type.
Bloke is going to start getting very prone to back, knee, ankle, achillies issues from here on.
And his age and build it's going to be hard to come back strong from those (or at all) if they are serious.
I do not put much stock in what 'The Mole' says most of the time. But this educated guess is possibly on the money.
