Moving Forward (literally)

Mutts, the club would have to of moved on Brown or Moses to accommodate Talagi to play 6 like he wanted, then complaints would happen why did we let Brown or Moses go.

It sucks, you cannot keep them all. Then there was the talk we wanted him to be our future 1, but as soon as he signed with Penrith we announced Iongi straight away nearly. Ryles identified Iongi from the start so that makes me think Talagi was not planned to be our Fullback either.

So we wanted him but not at Fullback and his path to 6 was not there. It sucks but the club did what they thought was best keeping the likes of Brown. Now Brown went on to move on, and that is on the club, but at the same time the club did what they thought was best to keep Brown. They are idiots though Talagi's path, like Sanders, was cut off for a bit of time, he didn't even want to play Fullback so it was either we move Brown on or say you are not our 6. Then Penrith came in with an offer to play 6 and took it, most would.

Yeah it is not great but at the same time many here, including yourself, saying he is not that good and needs a lot of work to be put into him. But now it is bad as he doing decent at Penrith?

No guarentee's we get Galvin but i would rather him over Talagi any day of the week and i think Talagi will be a quality 15 year first grader.

"My question is if one of the defenders smashed him when he was feining surrendering how would he have reacted?, would they have been penalised for using unnecessary force?.
I don't have too much of an issue with it but don't want it to become a…"

" Great Read...Sometimes I forget these guys are Human....it takes a lot more than talent and courage to have a good career in the NRL ...its a brutal sport...and as fans sometimes we expect a lot maybe too much ...I couldnt do what these players…"

" Great read.
He had all the attributes apart from great defence but he was special to begin then once it started to drop it became to far a climb to get back to what he was"
