With Tupou about to return to full fitness, does he walk straight back in to the centre/ wing or bench?

No, he needs to be brought in gradually. I don't think he's ever fully recovered from the injury in 2019 after being rushed back.

A few reserve games first, less intensity, test out the knee, build confidence. Besides, Hall has been playing well.

Though his knee was swollen not near full fitness

Last I heard few week ago he had problems with recurring fluid on his knee and ended up ha I g some clean up op.

After a big injury I think he needs a couple games in reserves to see how he goes.

Think Bill needs a couple of run outs in reserves and see how he goes before he can be considered in front of Hall, Lyne and even Croft.

Not sure where you got that from

FWIW I think it unlikely Bill will play this season and of OOC I doubt he will be re-signed.

Could be wrong

Whether he is available or not, IMO the centre spot is Halls to lose.The lad has bags of potential and will only get better.
I wouldn't consider Bill for the wing spot either, not with Johnstone and Murphy!

I agree. But what a great player to bring in when someone is injured or hits some bad form. Right across the 3/4 line.

A fully fit Bill is one of the best s in the league and we Saw that between 2017 and 2019 but since his big injury in 2019 I don't think he has been the same player although we have see glimpses at times.

For me he needs a couple of games in the reserves before being considered for selection however if he does get back towards full fitness then for me he has to play.
