Tino and Fifita free agents

[Mal Cochrane]

I'd have a woodie all day if manly got Tino

 

[pt73]

Tino would be a fantastic get

Not according to the kid in Mudgee who in 2022 had sign that said “Tino is a Cat”.

Wow you must really like him

 

[Ryan]

More chance of me playing for Manly than either of these guys

You'd be the closest thing we'd have to a real hooker at the club mate, and yes, I meant it EXACTLY like that hahaha.

I've been told they call you the living man chicken....finer white meat.

Although I have no idea what that means, To be fair you would could not pay me anything to play even 5 minutes against any of those guys

Tino would be a dream come true. Would take us to another level

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

The rumour has it that Tino

- Just wants to play in a side with an inspirational leader and calm captain like DCE like he did in origin.

- He believes his premiership window will open if he’s in a quality side like Manly and sees the team they are building for 2024

- a move to NSW will do him well is what he’s been telling everyone who will listen up in QLD.

Disclaimer: none of the above post is true, but is great clickbait.

I'd say Ben Hunt on the GC would tick big Tinos boxes.
We could all be kicking ourselves in 18-24 months if Des is able to Add Hunt to that GC side and it all comes together.

Might have to support DES next year

Tino/Holbrook package??

 

[Ben]

Tino/Holbrook package??

We need an assistant coach and a top line prop, ticks a few boxes for us.
Just need to free up 800-900k. Keppie and Fainu brothers contacts would cover this.

 

[Top End Eagle]

Except that he is a thug and a loose cannon.

I whole heartedly disagree with this. He is 23 years old and the captain of his club and Queensland's version of Payne Haas.

Is it just his haircut?

He'd probably need to take a haircut for us to afford him.

We haven't had a thug in the pack for a long time @XV-1 I see Tino as a more skilful AFB-type player with the ability to both lead the pack and intimidate opposition packs. Yes, he can be a loose cannon. I don't see this as a negative with the role he could play for us.

Perspective time. It's highly unlikely Tino will leave the Titans. It's even more unlikely he would join us if he did. It doesn't really matter how many Fainus, Keppies et al we throw at the Titans. Tino is a free agent; if he goes anywhere, it will almost certainly be the Dolphins.

A lot of angst whenever a club captain leaves, it certainly makes the decision to leave a little harder. Nevertheless if Mestrov hasn't already been on the phone to Tino's manager I'll be a monkey's uncle.

The main problem I can see if we did sign him is getting the ST hordes to learn to spell or even say his name.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

Get rid of Aloiai and Tuilagi for Tino or Fafita 2for1 swap deal.

Imagine if we had three Troboievic's and two Fa'asuamaleaui's in the team and then Buzz Rothfield had to report for duty on NRL 360 after a hard night on the sauce drowning his sorrows after the Eagles pumped the Sharks on a Sunday arvo at Brookvale

 

[JenEagle]

Flanagan is targeting him for the dragons.

So being our assistant coach he will also know our strategy to target Tino and be able to counter it .

Wtf

Can we throw in a few more Olakau'atus?
