The Shire!
He must really be unfit, never understood why you would play someone for less than 20 mins.

He did look very gassed just before being subbed off.

Maybe he was going to have two stints but the Berrell injury hindered the interchange rotation?

No point keeping someone on just to chew up minutes if someone else can add value & cover the minutes . Tuku hasn't had much impact in his last couple NRL outings compared with his initial couple of NRL games.

He's still a weapon near the try-line just because of his physical size. I don't have a problem with limiting his minutes if he can make an impact. I see him as a development prospect for the future.

Presumably nobody in the club bothers to leak that so I assume it's someone from his side
Not that in this case I think the club would care too much but if they think it's his manager it may affect future dealings with their clients, given we like to keep a low profile with this stuff

You need to raise your eyebrows on some of these articles.

"Anonymous sources" and the only quote is from nearly two weeks ago.

I reckon most of the articles are either just made up or player managers slipping a note (and a bill) across the table to the content creator to get a headline.

Yeah... Just a gentle reminder he's able to field offers in a couple of weeks.
