I like Tepai. But starting to lean on your side here. I expected a guy who would be pushing for origin by early 20s. He seems a standard/average nrl forward.
This is his year to either push for elite or remian average.
Eighty minute edge forwards are worth a lot of money, and we may have paid him based on his potential (at the time) to fill this role for us.

Still not sure what any of this has to do with a movie I enjoyed on Netflix but I'll answer your totally unrelated question regardless.
Yep I would but who can ever be certain about anything?
For the record ive been a supporter for 55 seasons. Many more bad seasons than good. I dont expect our team to do well this season but I live in hope. Ive seen 4 premership wins and I'd love to see another. Regardless I love my team and the game and always will. I could never support another team while Parramatta is part of The NRL.
Now!!! Did you watch the movie of which I speak. Its a goodun Poo. I reckon you'd like it.
What's any of that got to do with Iraq ffs?

Do you know when the last time or how often he has played the full 80min? (And I’m not being a smart arse I genuinely want to know)

How many more years are we going to say this about Tepai? He is on big coin and needs to play to that level otherwise we should part company at contract's end.

Source on his contract value? IMHO there are at least 8 teams that would sign him in a heart beat.

What do you think the market would view Tepai’s worth ?

With all due respect, Ram isn’t a source.

I am just intrigued what you merkins think that a 23yo who has played nearly 100 FG games is worth.

I mean Zero Tackle (dubious source, but a source anyway) has Joseph Tapine on $500k.

Don't get the Tepai criticism, tbh.

He's a beast in defense, and he has had luminaries such as Gutherson, Moses, Norman, etc. to run off on the edges...

He's going pretty well, imo.

I actually reckon one D. Brown will be amazing for Tepai's attacking game.

My guess is elite 2nd rower like
Frizel, Cordner,crighton are on about 700k

Guys just off that would be 500k
Hess,T.Sims

Solid nrl players
Yeo,JFH...350k mark - Where id put Tepai

Bench and reliable
200k or up and comer like say Nikuore or a guy like Taka

In and out of N RL but reliable

150k -Gowers

Big fan. Expected him to be in origin fold. Hasn't been as destructive as imagined.
I would throw half a mill at a guy who isnt atleast a channce for origin...
