The selections is hilarious. Do they really think Talagi is better than Tago? Is so, then why would you resign Tago on a 2 year deal if Talagi who cannot defend is seen to be better than him?

  I think the fact Blaize was offered over 500k a year to stay as opposed to Tago's pie and a coke, probably show they do rate him higher.

    the money more has to do with the potential/position rather than how good they are at the moment.

      I wouldn't be putting Tago at Centre in the NRL where the demands of defence are more. Maybe might be better putting Russell there perhaps as he was not good but had less mishaps. Or Harper. Those are the only options.

        Yea I would rather put Russel or Harper at centre even. But personally I would still go with Tago at centre. Been very impressive their in cup level this year.

  Agree rather Tago than Talagi whose leaving to Penrith. Ridiculous selection. Barrett probably doesn't care anymore as he's leaving

  Parramatta want to give Blaize as much first grade experience as favour to Penrith , its the Parramatta way .
  - Archie > Frankie Fong August 27, 2024 at 5:47pm
    
    This! It's mind boggling really.
    
    Sanders should be in the side over Asi if you want to pick the best side but it seems we play favourites...

      We're teaching him how to not tackle. Genius.

        CP. I dont think we need to teach him. He has already mastered that

"JAC and Penisini extended.
From the rest of the list it depends on how they develop but i'd extend Russell & Guymer and give Walker and Paulo reduced 1-year contracts
I'd keep Papalii if he's keen to be a backup fullback"
