Not saying he's coming to parra, but if things don't improve for the titans and how the club is run big fella will be looking for a new home.

Thats correct LB. Then buzz was all over it and it fell through.
I would love to have tino but wouldn't want to be paying over $1m per season. No team paying over $1m per season for a forward has done any good.
Forwards lay the foundations for classy halves and fullbacks to win you games and comps, you need at least 3-4 really good forwards to do that not 1 great forward on big money.
If there is a forward that you could consider paying $1mil for, Tino would be one. I still am stubborn going by only the spine positions should get a mil but Tino is a freak of a player and a leader.
I tend to agree with you LB, spending big money on a prop is risky and something I'm not a fan of but when have you ever seen Tino not turn up? His work rate week in week out is top shelf, reminds me of Gallen. Watching the dolphins game right now and can't help but think how underrated Ray Stone is. He's one that got away on us. His last play for us epitomises what he is about. He was the only one following that ball when he scored and won us that game and did his ACL. I actually think he should be playing back row, there's a lot of Angus Chrichton/Liam Martin about Ray Stone
I was really peed when stone left. Really rate him. Watching tonight s game his effort off the ball is amazing. He never stops running. Tino would be good. I wouldn't mind Carrington would be a lot cheaper too..
Carrigan, though not as good as Tino is the next tier down and not far off. He would be cheaper as well.
The year we lost Mahoney, Niukore, Kaufusi, Papali, Stone. We resigned Matterson in 2022 and he's done bugger all since. Hindsight wish we kept stone and let Matto go
If you already had 3 good young forwards on low to mid level money deals yeah, sure pay him $1m as long as your spine is also set.
For us, we could actually afford Tino and still get a decent 6. Even if you go say Pezet, you can afford Tino. Though feel he would be going to Perth to be fair. Or Dogs.
If it was a case of Jnr leaving and Tino taking over it would make sense. Tino would be awesome for on and off field. But I agree you can't have so much money in the front row.
