Hopgood works hard in defence and makes his tackles. He's not the attacking player he was before his injury but he is still a good defender. The only reason to get rid of him is if we're paying too much.

Correct but by the questions he is asking he Titans about plans for the future I think he wants to go to a team that can win in the next 5 years..

Doubt PNG win a competition
We're a bottom 6 side and would need to sign 3-4 quality NRL players before Tino would consider us a team that can win the title in the next 5 years.

Correct fairly sure I posted previously about Ryles needing to get on his knees and give Tino whatever he needs to get him here it's highly unlikely but we won't win a competition without a player like him.

We need players who want to play for us for the right reasons. Not because we've begged them to come.

Most players come for the money..

The rest of your post I'll ignore as Tino would want to win a competition, and that's where Ryles needs to explain to Tino and where he fits in and what the plan is for the future.

I think it's futile. Why would Ryles be able to convince him ahead of all of the other 18 teams? What is our USP?

I don't believe we would also ever be the highest bidder for Tino's services either.

I'm not saying we will ever sign Tino, and I'm not disagreeing that there are probably more desirable clubs for him to go to.

But he may look at a roster that has Mitch Moses, and Zac Lomax, and want to play with these guys on a weekly basis.

Plus, we would likely offer him a big contract.

I never thought we would land a young talent like Da Silva.

top 3 halfback in the world
youthful spine with tonnes of talent and potential
top 3 home stadium in the country
best league training and rehab centre in the world
top 3 member base both numbers wise and engagement wise
top 3 brand awareness in nrl
opportunity to be the forward leader at the club and bring through the next gen of potential forwards

and we have plenty of cash

None of that could convince a 19 year old who supported the club all his life, is managed by the cousin of our Captain, who apparently wanted him to sign with us, and a player who was apparently keen to get out of his current club to want to come to the club.

Why would any of it entice Tino ahead of all 18 other NRL clubs?
