Official Tuku Hau Tapuha

I like this. Said this before i think this guy has a higher ceiling than Hazleton, Jesse C etc.. Hoping he gets more game time this year and shows everyone what he is fully capable of.
 
Speaks very well this guy, looks stoked to be sticking around

We should all be stoked he’s staying too because this guy is a beast and a huge prospect for us

Yeah I haven't really heard him speak before, expected him to sound a bit more fearsome, but sounds like he's got his head screwed on.
 
I do think we will want to hold on to him, but happy to have him extended. It means we can extend him again at the end of next year and have a better idea of how he will be used and develop. Looking forward to our forward pack next year. He, Orgeon, AFB and Talaki, BHU there is some serious go forward in that lot.
 
He probably wants to feel out his place in the squad.
He's just turned 23, gives him a bit of security over next couple years while he is still building towards his best and he can assess where his place is in this team or what his options are. We also have a lot of money for props open up he may not want to lock himself out of.

Hazelton 25
Kaufusi 25
BHU 26
Rudolf 26
Talakai 26
Colquhoun 26
AFB 28

Yeah 100% This is a call from his perspective rather than ours. If he has a breakout year this year, he can ask for more money. If he doesn't get a run he can look to move elsewhere. 2 years, whilst better for us wouldn't have been better for him.

Glad he's signed on for another season.

Maybe Hazo, but not Jesse IMO. I see Tuks as being an impact guy like Royce Hunt. Jesse feels like he has the potential to be a Carrigan/Hopgood style player (maybe wishful thinking).

Mate if he can be half as good as Carrigan then we've got a real winner here.

For sure. He just looks like the guy who's a big tough unit with a huge motor. Opposite role to Tuks. Hopefully we can see them both develop here.
