  • How much is the talagi selection to keep him happy as he is off contract and we just signed lomax and how much is it a tactical move?, 🤔

    • I don't believe it's a tactical move.

       

      • You're smarter than that HKF...

        We should all be applauding that BA wants to find him a spot. Throw him in there wherever..

        When Lomax arrives Talagi will be a year up

    • I reckon it's more likely that he will come on late in the game and play in the middle to carve through their tiring defences. If that's the case this is a smart move from BA, where we know the heat and humidity will cause havoc with forwards.

  • Hopefully Blaize has been doing tackling practice because what he has dished up so far in first grade has been pretty poor.

  • Saw a report saying Talagi hasn't picked up his 2025 option yet, so might be in the 14 jersey for a while 🤣

    • From what i heard is that they are deep in negotiations over a multi year extension. No point with the option if there is an extension on the table.

  • Twice this year we have had an outside back go down, and it's caused us all sorts of drama. I'd be happy to have Blaize play that role all year he's not in the starting team. Covers every spot in  the backline and with the concussion rules, and the fact we like our top props to play big minutes I love him in that role.

    • I also think later in the year moses and talagi can really provide the speed  and x factor parra are so sorely missing,both through the middle and sweeping plays  basically linking how gutho does in attack but alot more speed creating the overlap for the winger

"3 time premiership winning hooker. Maybe 700k on the open market. Regardless, his line speed in defence is that something eels desperately need. He smashes blokes too."

LB replied to LB's discussion Tim Mannah on BA
"Well look at Talagi, how he has been used lately where he's been moved all over that place and is not ready to start anywhere.
Sam Tuivaiti is on top 30 next year and is stuck in Flegg. Wouldn't cup be better for development? Could argue he is not…"

"Our win percentage without Gutherson is awful I think. I remember he was out for the first six rounds of the 2018 season and we lost every game, he came back in round 7 and surprise, we won. I remember last year we were in control in that game…"
