Where did you get the OPTA reference Vasty?
Tupou isn't actually the top of any individual stat, like metres or tackles. OPTA covers all areas and averages them out which is why I assume he gets in. The individual stats are dominated by Widnes, Hull KR Trinity and Salford because they have played an extra game.

I assumed it was the superleague dream team. Which puts him in the top 2 second rowers, behind Brett Ferres, based on the scoring system they use.

I'd rather he wasn't behind Ferres in any aspect. No good can come of that.
I wondered as I struggled to find it, however I did find the drop down menu of position and monthly stats, we have Anthony England is top prop so far in front of Salford kopjak ,
But on another note as much as it hurts me to say I'm loving how Luke gale is playing he's running the show for you guys, a proper team player in the thick of everything, and with dorn organising your defence your going to take some beating.

I have been quietly impressed by tupou so far. In many ways he reminds me a bit of how monty betham played. He is a tackling machine and he has that touch of class about him as his offload for one of the try against widnes showed.
I would like to see him play more minutes because I think we look a better team with him on the pitch and hopefully this will come as the pitches firm up.
