Tallyn Debut

The Eels’ brand new recruit Tallyn Da Silva will make his club debut this weekend according toCode Sports. That decision is made easy for coach Jason Ryles given the suspension of Ryley Smith. Da Silva will have had two weeks with his new side before making his debut, having signed a four-and-a-half year deal worth a reported $650,000 per-season. Bailey Simonsson is close to returning and should come straight back in at centre with Will Penisini serving a suspension that ends in a couple of weeks.

  • I was hoping Jason start him straight away 

    When Penisini come back baring injuries make him play in

    VB cup  make him earn hes way back

    Just hope Moses and Lomax playing 

    • Lomax will, Moses No

      • yeah Mosses had always declared round 20 he will be back

  • 2 weeks with his new side?? Is that correct? Can't understand Moses not playing. He's basically had a year off and getting paid big $$$. Not many people get paid full salary for having sickness time off. Once their sick days are gone it's all over and back to work regardless or lose your job

    • Is their a salary cap exemption if players miss a certain percentage of games? If not it wouldn't be a bad idea. The player still gets paid but only a percentage of it is counted on the salary cap.

       

      • Should be as in most jobs once your sick days run out you either go back to work ( sick or not) or you use what super or health insurance cover you have if any

        • Thing is he is not sick . Technically its a work related injury so I would imagine its like compo . But who knows how they deal with it i do know they have work related insurance 

    • Would not shock me if Moses took the rest of the year off . That's what they did last year once it was evident the season was cooked .  He was supposed to use the time to recuperate and get fresh for this season .  We know how that played out .  Was a kick in the teeth to hear him say he was in full training preparing for Mals call up for the last few months of the comp.

       

      • Moses didn't take the year off as last year was finished, he tore his bicep.

        • He was back doing full contact training before the season ended.  So yeah , it's not as if he lodged a request for annual leave and " took it off ", so yeah ok ya got me on a formaility. I assumed the majority would know what I said was in jest . But he did say in an article about a month out from seasons end that it'd been decided even though he was back with unrestricted training , he wouldn't rush his return and was training the house down as Mal had told him to prepare for the international. 

          At the time I said it was bullshit as we were staring down the barrel of a spoon, and if he's not worried about helping the team avoid a spoon then he shoudnt be talking about playing for Australia and risking our 2026 season. . 
          A few ( Muttman was one can't remember who else ) agreed , and the majority were supportive of Moses as " he may never get another chance to play for Australia " .
