BIll Tupou : Fri Jul 14, 2017 11:30 pm  

Becoming a very effective centre over last few games and Man of the Match for me at Widnes. Devastating runs created havoc tonight & defensively very sound.

Massively improved player this year, right from the pre-season friendlies.

I dont know what they are feeding him but Tupou is just getting better and better.
Always though he was a strong defensive player but, he seems to have gained some pace and I suppose, having MCB outside him, probably gives him some extra space and it hasn't half helped.

I think he's always had the power I just think Chester has taught him how to use it.
I remember people saying he'd never make a centre but he's a massive asset to us.

In a game like Widnes he can really turn the afterburner on but he's often the one making hard yards in the tough games too.

Wonder how many will own up to the 'he can't pass' comments now?

I will admit I was one of those who thought his passing wasn't up to being a centre. I would gladly eat humble pie but I am on a diet at present

I credit the players and coaching staff because collectively a number of players have improved as individuals this year including big Bill

It's a pity his season has been stop start with injury because when he has played he has been great including a major role in us coming back from 20-0 down away at Wigan
