I don't think he has captained any of the other teams he has played in.
A good player doesn't always make a good captain.

This has made a good day even better
Well done WTW

If he can retain the form he showed on the you tube highlights he looks a tremendous signing ,the bit I like is that he took over in the aussie side from renI matoua a player I rate highly ,only downside it was 2006 obviously he's got it let's hope he can produce it

Sounds like a great signing.

It looks like recently he has been used as impact from the bench at Cronulla Sharks at second row...look forward to seeing him play. Think the pack may be sorted just need a quality centre and possibly half back.

Probably the first blue chip signing since Brad Drew IMHO.

He's clearly past his absolute best let's be honest but all things are relative and if he has he right attitude could still rip it up in SL - so a really positive signing but not the season ticket seller we were apparently promised



This might also go some way to shutting up the somewhat arrogant "realists" as they call themselves (such conceit) - though I doubt it.

So Carter old lad you really need to sign up Thurston ASAP

congrats all great news!!

As you know Mopsey, class is permanent

Great signing, his biggest contribution might come on the training ground where his attitude and style might rub off on some others.

Great signing... Watched him on some of the premier sports stuff I have saved... Looked great against souths in this play offs... Scored a try and got stuck in with the tackling too.cronulla wanted to keep him,so not just a cast off.. A bit more fire power in the forwards suits me fine...

Fantastic signing. Wherever we play him, Miller needs to be on his shoulder. That combo could be very fun to watch.

Suprised you say hes past it Vastman at 31. Brad Drew was well past it when he joined us he had lost his speed. Topou had plenty of games under his belt last year. The guy will play under Brian Smith and his character suggests he will want to play aswell. Top signing by the MIGHTY TRINITY!

People talk about props not maturing until they're about 30.
SL is a totally different beast to the NRL.
Tupou is 31 and will be 32 at the start of next season, still plenty of miles in him yet.
On the highlights, Pomeroy always seemed to be lurking where Tupou was running.
Pomeroy may not be quick but he's a big lump of a player and can pass a ball.
