From the article: Titans best offer is 600 per year. Souths paying 800 per year if its a 4yr deal. Titans paying Tino from Melbourne more than they offered origin forward Arrow. No wonder he left.

Jai Arrow is a quality NRL forward but he's not a difference maker in attack like Faasuamaleaui has the potential to be.

So Tiny Tino is worth more than Arrow then?

I reckon they valued Arrow about right. They’ve paid massive overs for Tino. That may or may not come off for them, but he hasn’t shown much more than Utoikamanu who the Tigers picked up for about $260k per year

That organisation has rocks in its head.

Not yet but potentially

I think it's almost last throw of the dice for the Titans. If they don't get some real success in the next few years, they'll fold. So I suppose they're prepared to (have to?) gamble on some things.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I'm going to come off the fence and say that Tino will amount to nothing at the Titans. And Arrow was right to leave.

 

[Twizzle]

pretty safe bet I reckon

Mal the fraud at it again.

Mal the fraud at it again.

He’s just getting his dues now defrauding the NRL after they gave him nothing

 

[Happy MEel]

Pretty much a like for like replacement for GI in his final season

Big fella?? Understatement of the year so far. He looks like Owen Craigie.

...and he wants to play fullback

I guess he sees them having a bludge at the back and thinks that will suit him to a tee. Probably doesn’t realise they tend to cover the most distance in a game or he wouldn’t have returned in that kind of shape.

IIRC great minds have stated previously that it takes more than just a (shortened) preseason to get fit enough to play fullback. Good luck with that, tubby.

Lack of fitness aside, I don’t think he has the footy IQ to waltz into the fullback role with a few weeks preseason under his belt.

He makes about as many runs a month that a fullback makes in a game. Yeah good luck with that.
