Another season, another Tino Fa'asuamaleaui contract clause activated.
I joke, but also not really...
The number of times we've seen Tino (and David Fifita) allowed to talk to other clubs over the years is laughable.
Well, here we go again!
It's looking less likely though that the Titans captain is using this as an opportunity to bump up his current deal with the Titans.
If you ask me, he's done. Probably not a bad thing considering the state of the Titans, but a massive potential loss.
Tino Fa'asuamaleaui is a player you could name 16 teams below. 17 with the Bears coming up. PNG would want him also.
Naming five genuine landing spots, considering his stature, value and career prospects though is still fairly straightforward.
Hewre are the five best landing spots for Tino Fa'asuamaleaui.
2. St George Illawarra Dragons
The Dragons have improved over the past few weeks but still need to land a massive forward signing.
Jack de Belin is moving on at the end of the season while David Klemmer is coming to the end of his career. Emre Guller has filled a role.
Tino Fa'asuamaleaui is exactly the name Dragons fans would love to see.
With Clint Gutherson on the wrong side of 30, the captaincy could be there to offer. They could do far worse than appointing the rep regular as the man to represent their club.
The opportunity is there, the money is there, the need is very much there.
Working in the Dragons favour is the relatively short move, in comparison to a potential move to Perth anyway.
The Dragons were reportedly interested in his services the last time a clause was activated.
Shane Flanagan has seen big improvement within his squad since taking over. I expect that to continue in 2026.
Flanagan himself has just re-signed at the club meaning the coaching situation is sorted. The crop of young forwards emerging is also very impressive.
A lot to like here. It would be a relatively easy sell for the Red V recruitment team.
