Opinion Loan Topine to Melbourne

[From the area]

No, Topine should be in our side ahead of Waddell ... also who do you propose we get in return?

That’s true. But Baz has some sort of infatuation with Waddles

Jackson topine I believe will be playing flegg this week

Yer confirmed

Topine is not a first grader.

full stop

 

[Baby Blues]

For all the people in here trashing the idea, Topine has now gone down to playing Flegg. I’m sure that’s much better for his development…….

Baz doesn't rate him. One of the biggest things that I hate that I have against Baz. When Waddell gets picked week after week there's no excuse either.

Baz is right
He is shit house

Topine is an awesome young fella but needs to put on some size to play first grade. Last year showed he was not a 9 and is too small to be an edge forward. In saying that I hope he gets a chance in first grade this year and kills it. You can tell he bleeds blue and white

Bullshit, junior rep honours and captaining rep sides. He's got talent, are we the club to develop him properly though, recent history suggests not

He definitely has ability and the work ethic on the field but he may be too small to play att the top level n the forwards. Time will tell.

Look at Cameron McInnes… he’s no bigger than Jackson Topine.

Big deal , he captained an under 8's rep side

And what makes you think he’ll play NRL with the storm when he can’t even make the NRL team for last years wooden spooners?

Josh King was a bit part player at the Knights and is now starting due to their injuries. If they got him he’d play.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

I just do not get the hype around Topine & RFM

We needed a ball playing lock but got rid of Asiata unless Topine can do something similar what does he offer? Passion & hunger like Elliott?

 

[speedy2460]

Is a player who shines in the lower grades, but is not up to the NRL on a regular basis.

 

[MitchNewton]

He’s still young, let him develop. What’s the obsession with rushing every player with potential into first grade

This.
He’s still a young fella, give him time.
BTW-The Storm wouldn’t do it, they are not a training academy charity, they’re in the business of winning comps. Look at their Current situation, a few injuries in the forwards and who are they looking at? NSW Origin rep Tariq Sims - no chance on them as a rival team wasting energy on Jackson.

Develop into what? What is his best position?
