But the roosters took tupou from the kid to the rep quality player he is now

But you stated from juniors. Tupou had gone through age restricted competitions before joining the roosters. They developed him into the player he is today but he wasn't from the juniors.

Same path as Niukore with us. Came across after being in the Warriors age restricted teams but we developed him into a rep player. Wouldn't say we developed him from the juniors

We had Ken Sio, Tonga and Burt for wing spots at the time. I can see why we didn't hold him. Burt was getting old however.
I think I recall a few (maybe you) saying we should ofmkept Toupo. Anyhows he has had a great career.

Cool maybe my way of wording it was wrong ... taken from a young pre-nrl player to a rep level player

It's hard to gauge and slightly dissapointing clubs don't provide under 20s team lists and players ages and heights weights etc like they used to.
