"I think Da Silva is ok in defence, can get better but I think that's harsh on Tallyn."
"Very fair comment and that is exactly Smith. He ain't going to set tries up much at all but will give you good service and tackle well. Da Silva is not the defensive liability he was last year, he is steadily improving and Ryles giving him 60+ mins…"
"You cant be serious expecting a guy who had an ankle operation a couple of months back to be up to full speed right now. Do you know anything about the human body and healing process? He probably didn't start full training until a couple of weeks…"

Exactly right Phil, glad eels fans are slowly waking up to this imposter.
On the way to getting in his ear ... B.A should tap him on the shoulder instead !
2 things
1) he has been our most consistent forward this year (and is so most years). He NEVER gets driven back, rarely misses a tackle and has the fastest play the ball of the squad.
2) he takes the multiple hit ups simply because the other soft options won’t put their hands up to have a go. That’s actually called leadership.
And then you get a blog like this criticising it!
I saw him get driven back several times against the raiders. what he NEVER does is offload or bend the line or trouble the defensive line.
But every defender knows he will never offload so tackling him is easy
I think fans a very harsh on Mannah , reminds me a lot of Ben Kennedy in the way he inspires the players around him .
Good to have you back Fong! Where you been?
