Storm teen Tino Fa’asuamaleaui turns back on $2.7m Warriors deal to sign with… Gold Coast Titans

The Gold Coast Titans have landed a major coup by signing young gun teenage forward Tino Fa’asuamaleaui to a three-year $2 million deal.
Despite reports out of New Zealand claiming Fa’asuamaleaui had signed a four-year $2.7 million deal with the Warriors, the Melbourne Storm forward will he headed for the Titans in 2021.
The three-year deal will see the junior Kangaroos forward play under new Gold Coast coach Justin Holbrook and is a major boost for the Titans given the anticipated departure of Jai Arrow to South Sydney.
Fa’asuamaleaui, 19, has drawn comparisons with a young Sonny Bill Williams and had the New Zealand Warriors and the Storm both intent on trying to secure his signature.
Fa’asuamaleaui made his international debut for Samoa earlier this year, and also represented the Prime Minister’s XIII and the Junior Kangaroos.
The Orange-born youngster stands at a whopping 197cm and has only played five NRL games, making his debut against the Dragons from the bench in Round 16 of 2019.

He's a hard running powerhouse forward like Fifita and taumalolo and that's exactly what we need, our forwards lack impact and he brings that, good replacement for arrow
Would be better news if Shannon Boyd had signed elsewhere and we were using his money and still keeping arrow!
Goodbye arrow. Hello Tino...seems like a lot of money for a kid. Is he worth that much or have we made another overpaid mistake

Might get money and Gaggai in return

This signing shows again what a bunch of no hopers the media are.
They had him signed sealed and delivered to NZ.
I again make the simple statement that Arrow loves the club and wants to stay. Until proved otherwise I’m going to believe he’s not a habitual liar but is one of us.
In regards to this new signing well we have in recent years improved some young forwards in Mo, Arrow and initially JWall so let’s do the same with this young man. (In 2021)
Well that came out of nowhere. 2 mil over 3 years isn’t too bad if he’s as good as they say.
