Tupou signing with Dolphins absolutely sucks and we’ll regret it down the line. Overall I think we’ve been doing well lately but this is a huge mistake. Signing To’a before we had Tupou locked in was dumb dumb dumb.

I guess it depends on dollars - if Tupou wanted more than he’s worth then I’m ok to see him depart.

We currently have no one to replace him. If we get Olam he’ll be on much more $ and is worse with only downside to come. Tupou will end up a very good centre. It was very clear to see last year that he’s got something.

To’a, Naden, Kepaoa are very poor centres.

For the money he got offered at Dolphins I have no problems us not matching it.  400-575k on a guy still learning the game is madness when not in the spine.  Good luck to him and we will have a cheaper replacement I'm sure.

where did you get those figures from? What do you think To’a is on?

How can you say he’s getting paid way overs when you don’t know how much he is getting paid? Or are you saying you don’t think he’s a first grader?

Then how can you say he’s getting paid overs? I think Tupou is a quality player.

we will have juniors come through who are better than tupou, he is not a massive loss for us

with AD 600k off contract for 2025 it is not like we didn't have the cash to try and keep tupou, I'd say the club is of the opinion 600k - 650k is too much for him.

Not sure where tupou fits into that dolphins backline maybe wing ? would think farnworth and averillo maybe take centre

I think he’s got potential but agree is replaceable at this stage. Not sure where these figures are coming from

I haven't seen a single article anywhere that even speculates on price. Who are the juniors coming through who are better than him that are ready to replace him for 2025?

Only thing I've heard was the dolphins offer was double what we were offering.

@avocadoontoast If he can grab double the $$ elsewhere good luck to him .. I posted mid season that I thought he was way over rated and got panned , obviously someone at the club thought as much . His position is covered at present what I’ve seen of the union guy he is well and truly a better replacement . I want to see some maturity in the younger brigade before making any comment on them seen it all before for decades 95% will not make a bench !
