Quote ="vastman"So despite stating on every post what a great signing I think he is, that's not good enough for you. I have to join you in your deluded fantasy that the Tupou we are getting is the International of 7 years ago. This despite the obvious fact that he's now 31 (7 years older) and not selected since then. Added to this he's not played since a possible career ending injury this season which could still cause him problems as yet unknown.
Just because we have spent a bob or two is no reason to gloss over the truth - great player still? I'd venture a yes. International/Origin top 5 player in the world errr no.
It's pretty simple stuff really, sorry reality irks you

I was going to say fair do's on your edited post.
But you seem to be changing your tune with every post you write.
If we were getting the Tupou of 7 years ago, we wouldn't be anywhere near getting him.
As for top 5 international/ Origin player in the world, I never mentioned that, I mentioned that if he had signed for one of the 'big' clubs, he would be classed as one of the top 5 imports for next season.
