Are we writing him off?

Has he left the club?

He is never on the injury list?

Saw him at Whitehaven in the friendly prating around . . .

Wow although this has been talked about I'm surprised this came out in the sun newspaper.

TBH i can't see him coming back, surely he must be worried whether any other club will touch him with his injury(s)

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



That's a decent salary chunk plus a quota spot if we get rid right?

Only thing is, I wonder if this was the plan for getting Bird in? Tear up Tupou's contract and the wage and spot go to Bird? But that's part's gone south

My memory fails me with Toa Koa Love, what were the circumstances around him.

Didn't he spend his time with us injured, how long was he out before we got rid

Signed. Went through pre-season. Played in a friendly (I think?). First proper match (may even have been a friendly still?) did his cruciate IIRC. Club "released" him, and TV, because neither would be fit to play within 6 months and under the terms of the contract the club could do that. Whether we'd have done so had the club not been desperate to free up cap-space for Harris (allegedly) is a separate issue.


That's my approximate recollection, but I suspect others will be able to add some accuracy.

where have we heard this before, new zealand rfl being less than forthcoming about the extent of an injury suffered to our player whilst on international duty for them icon_rolleyes.gif

Just read this rlhererl it's pretty much the same thing on ITV teletext.

Quote: "Tupou, who was represented at the tribunal by Leeds-based sports lawyer Richard Cramer, argued that he is able to train and is effectively not in breach of his contract but Bradford claimed the extent of his injuries mean an effective return is not imminent.

...

Bradford, who were represented at today's tribunal by chairman Peter Hood and head coach Steve McNamara, claim they were not told the extent of Tupou's injury.
'"


About time some light was shed on the situation.

If he was fully fit maybe he would be good to use after all the Bulls view him as a "Utility player" maybe he could have a bash in the centres?

might make sense - wasnt there an article in t&a a few weeks before we announced bird signing with tupou telling us what an impact he was going to make this year?. You wouldnt have thought club would allow him to do an interview in that vein if they were planning on releasing him at that point in time.
