Take it as you will. Someone on the other site with close links to him say Daniel Tupou told him he has signed to play at Parra next week.
Stags, was this your rumor or have you heard anything mate?

No it's not...
Haven't heard Tupou's name mentioned since he re signed with the roosters last year but the roosters do have 6 outside backs of NRL and rep standard to fit into 5 spots... I wouldn't be surprised if there are moves behind the scenes to get him here with the crooks paying some of the freight

So Vave, a bloke who I admit looks like a decent signing, but has been playing in a pack that's been beaten up most weeks this season, who has probably started less than a hand full games in his NRL career, is now going to suddenty become a world beating starting front rower?

I reckon BA will look to start with one workhorse and one impact front rower next year (so Mannah and Vave come to mind). Give Vave a 15-20 minute stint, before bringing say Wicks on and them rest Mannah after his longer minutes - he is getting about 25 mins at the start - and replace him with Brown. Wicks can easily do 40 mins in the middle of the game. Second half Mannah returns for Brown about 15 into it and then Vave replaces Wicks with 20 to go.

But I have no f**ken idea really so who knows.

We seem to start with our #1 and #3 prop and have our #2 and #4 prop on the bench. I'd say that you are correct in Mannah and Vave together but he's been so good off the bench and can change our shape with his passing.

Whatever we go with I think our middle is quite strong next year and we'll have two of Terepo, Wicks, and Alvaro in Wenty to start the year.

Why are you so secretive with rumour stagger? Not want to leak or don't like being wrong or getting our hopes up?

Because without big noting myself, there are people at the club who know who stagger is and if ive been told something in confidence than no matter what is big or small I won't be sharing it until it comes to fruition..

It's not worth jeaperdising a friendship or in some cases a deal in the works over..
