Blaize talagi has already scored 2 tries today and Ethan Sanders has scored 1. Well done once again Parra R&R for letting these 2 go!

  I'd say losing Stef probably hurt more since we lost both Oregon Kaufusi and Marata Nuikore after our Grand final. We've brought in average players since. Maybe Hopgood is the exception.
  
  Apart from that Dylan Brown screwed us declaring his leaving after Talagi was promised the 5/8 position at Panthers whilst we were offering centre/wing. R& R stupid player heavy clauses with DB fecked us hard both ways losing BOTH players.

    Actually we offered Talagi Fullback originally.

Are you trying to upset LB , Parra Fan.

I agree 2 very good players, that perhaps more real thought should have gone into how to keep one.

  BE slight jab. Talagi is fair. Sanders I will stand by to this day you know that. Sanders I wouldn't say is even playing that well.
  
  Keeping Sanders at 6 could have been a Pezet situation where he is not a 6. He only comes up with a good game to knock the R&R but quiet the last few games as he didn't do much. Did we expect Sanders to wait til Moses to retire to play?
  
  Talagi is fair as we should never have given him an option for 2025. If they signed him properly then Talagi would have gotten 6 moving forward.
  
  I mean stupid Penrith letting Isaiya Katoa go when he was being groomed to replace Luai but Luai left for Tigers and Katoa had already left.
  Pezet left Melbourne too I wonder why.

They'll probably find their way back home after Moses is retired. Let's be real Moses was in his prime when those two were here. Same with Dyl he too was in prime form.

"My only concern is we have guys like jdb guymer Moretti under contract for 27 and co for 28 and we still haven't signed Mataele, junior of walker. Some really tough decisions to be made. We are all geniuses in hindsight but being fair dinkum it's a…"
