Talakai being shopped.

Think his name has been brought up a few times but definitely a player we should be looking at if rumours are true. Currently playing off bench as an impact middle but can also play centre if needed. Would also push Russell to keep his spot I think he'd fit in well at Parra. Thoughts ?

    • Eelovution ...you don't seem to have objective comparisons to justify your opening sentence. We have picked up Jack Williams from Cronulla for this season, so your comparison of Sharks not keen to keep him  is somewhat outweighed by that judgement.

      MY personal feeling is he has the ability to be much more than he has shown since his SOO appearance. Why is that so? because he has proven ability and we don't know the reasons for his fall offs. This is where Ryles judgement comes into being, he has to be convinced that there is something more he can get out of a player, that's why he is the coach and we are just "baggage" with opinions that have little value. Aspects of salary cap etc is best left with the people that manage it.

      Open minds are the best way to assess anything we dont have all the facts to.......where were you when we picked up JAC and Iongi

  • Talakai man what we wouldn't do for a Kola or Mariner in the centres especially the first mentioned is looking nie on deadly everytime he touches the ball for Manly.

    • Only guy you can probably get from manly is Garrick, doubt they'd ever let Koula or Hoppa move

      • 2027 I think he's available yes I'm looking that far ahead.

        Next year who've we signed JDB there looking at Moale throwing in some more seasoned guys around a growing lot is where they'll go if there stretched for cap.

        Ryles seems to like speed JAC will be a year older and won't be here in 27 so they'll have the cap.

        Need more strike on the left.

         

        • Why wont he be here in 27 Coryn?......he's go plenty of guile and hopefeully we can keep him as a backs coach when the time comes for his retirement.

          I am not sure I have seen a smarter winger in the way he positions himself and reads the game.

          Toupo, Morris, lots of great wingers have gone on longer than him!

          • Maybe he's got a bit of mileage on those tyres if we get another year like this year out of him I'd be happy with that.

            I watched him run that last 25-30 in that run away  and I don’t think he will be here the end is nie.

            • Mate if it comes to the last 25-30 and he has previously ran the 70, he could walk the last 10 LOL.

              HE did when the clock was put on him still rated the fasted player in the game. I reckon he could lose a metre a year and still be the fastest we have at Parra for the next 2 years. 

              PS The influence he has on the young players in the club cannot be measured, but every one says the same about him......I hope they put a nice bonus in his hand for what he has done this year.....

  • I don't think we need him, we definitely need a gun middle a metre eater- our forward pack is mobile, skilfull which suits Ryles game plan and style - unfortunately the market is bare and with Perth coming in desperate clubs will pay overs

  • I don't like it.....or know who this guy is
