I just read a post saying Talau is a first grader and he should be extended... and Blore is not.

I don't know why the fans hate the club so much 😂😂

Anyone who thinks Talau, who is obviously in favour (sarcasm), is ahead of Naden, Doeuihi, or even Toa, needs to find an inpatient rehab clinic ASAP! Cannot even beat a broken JTJ into the team.

Have nothing against him, but its an obvious pecking order issue.

Much the same as Liddle... if he was the future, we wouldnt have singed Api. Api wasnt signed to play second fiddle to Jacob, could be upgrade, could be injury toll, who knows, but Simpkin is the back-up, on financial grounds alone. Havent even talked Rua...

Nuffa, Pauga... neither warrant their paycheck, different levels and all. Neither effective on a dollar cost/outome ratio either, for different reasons.

Talau is so below standard.
Shouldn't even see first grade. Same as Pauga.

Agreed on all points. I think we will see Rua playing 13 next year.

He statistically takes on the line about half as muck as Brooks, and breaks less tackles. He’s nowhere near the threat running the ball Brooks is.

If you’re going to make an argument for him at least argue something that’s close to being true 🤷‍♂️

One thing i do hope though is if there was a lingering thought in someones head about Thompson in the club that game last night should close that book. He was terrible last night in no way shape or form is he a marquee prop.
He's an average prop someone you may consider on half the coin he's apparently on, Musgrove,Twal,Tamou all put him to shame last night Stef however hasnt come back from injury firing so far.

Stef is struggling to make an impression since injury

Passive aggressive . And not what I said . As I said earlier , you keep staying on brand !
I said Talau is a first grader who has established himself . He’s not a star , but no mug .
Blore has spent 3 years in the rehab group . He’s 💯 being paid for what he’s going to do not yet . The order should be Talau then blore based on past contributions . Doesn’t mean I think Talau is the better footballer , but nothing has shown me Blores body is up to it .

You stay classy demps , I’m sure those private DMs with the mods and Kul will flow real soon .

All those people are centres , and not where Talau future is . He’s been moved to the back row . From my understanding and just guessing , filling the same role Garner fills right now .

He (Talau) hasn't established anything.
He's very below standard.

Blore, also... no one's seen enough of him.
Appears a good defender and that's it.

Whens he been moved to back row ?

Can't even remember the last time he played, he's injured and off contract.

Pom said he has a one year deal on the table, possibly....

I think if we expect him to fill that role in the pack we're in trouble.

Coming back from injury and he never looked imposing in the past.

When Hastings 10 in the bin
We looked terrible for 10 mins. Madden was missing in action for that 10 mins.

Madden dug way into the line in attack and the chip and chase alone is something I’ve never seen Brooks do....ever!
I don’t mind brooks, he’s played pretty well the last month, but not we’ll enough ti block anyone coming through.
Madden was just as good as Hastings last night.
He deserves a contract for depth alone.

Talau has demonstrated you give him the ball on or near the quarter in a bit of space and he usually scores. The Storm wanted him because they can see his potential. I believe he will be a second row forward and a good player for the WTs if he decides to stay.
