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.
3. The Dolphins
I believe Tino needs to leave the Titans. It's a broken relationship and both need a fresh start.
A move, every so slightly north, could present a real opportunity for the want-away Titan.
The Dolphins pack is impressive, albeit incomplete right now. Adding Tino to the likes of Saifiti, Gilbert and Plath could bring a world of fun for the Dolphins.
Money could be an issue but they'd have 12 months to work that out. Tino is the kind of player you make changes for.
With the greatest of respects to our mates at the Titans, the Dolphins are far closer to a Premiership run.
Herbie Farnworth. The Hammer. Young Katoa. Those are names that can turn the head of a player who is desperate to play Finals footy for years to come.
The Dolphins are a couple of pieces away from something very special. Tino is a big piece that would go a long way to completing that puzzle.
I am actually shocked we haven't heard the Dolphins in the media. I'd be willing to say there are discussions.
Tino is almost the perfect addition. In fact I really couldn't name a more perfect fit for the Dolphins.
Get it done!
