Anthony Tupou is a genuine great of this game...
his involvement and a top Eight finish is no coincidence ...,
Further .... the access to players like the Fifitas come directly from
Contact and reputation of Anthony....
Get back in your hole Buster you don't have and never will have .... earned the right to
Take a dig st someone like Anthony Toops!!!!
Grow up !!!! The guy is finished.I suggest the clubs that he has been great with may owe him a pension, but not us. What he has contributed to our club in comparison to what he has been paid has been a terrible deal that we can't afford. I am not saying he has not been great in the past and he deserves respect for that. Neil Fox was also a great player but you would not offer him a contract !!!
My point is, he has tried but there is nothing left to give. As the season has progressed, he has contributed less and less. We did get the odd glimpse of he talent early days but even those little flashes of his past ability are no longer there.
If the guy takes a long hard look at himself and does the honourable thing and retires I wish him all the best and accept he at least tried a season with us. However if he carries on into next season just to take the money and contribute zero, then he deserves all the critiscm that will come his way.
The club always comes first to me and when players are getting very highly paid I expect them to pay back on the field, I don't expect them to rip us off.
