Sharks looking to offload these two to free up cap space so they can resign (upgrade) Brailey and Kennedy.
Eels are in need of decent fire power up front. Both could be ideal, especially Talakia (still only 28 yrs) who can play multiple positions, including centre where we seem to be rocks and diamonds.
Comparing to the current roster, I think these two would be a walk up starts in the 17... at least Talakia anyway.
Thoughts?

They are targeting Chevy Stuart for fullback.
Well true.
Love to get Talakia use him to play centre
I don't think that those 2 would fit into the speedy style of play that Ryles is developing. Fatigue would be an issue.
Talakia has poor lateral movement. So he'd be no upgrade on what we have at centre. 2nd row maybe, but I don't think he's better than what we have. He's living off 1 game several years ago where he scored multiple trys.
Nope.
Maybe Hamlin at a veyr cheap deal but this is nothing but a stop gap signing.
Would rather use that money to buy a prop who is on the UP and looking like that for the next 2-3 years.
Props are the hardest men on Earth, but your body can only play that position for some long.
Hamlin has peaked as a player. Could Ryles really develop him more?
Would he have heart playing for us or just be making up the numbers?
Next please!
