Anyone seen his brother, Lachlan play?
He's a hooker, yea?

Any good ?

He’s 22 (older than Tommy).

Played 3rd grade for Ryde-Eastwood this year with the Rizk boys, Ryan Garner (Luke’s brother) etc. Was playing Hooker or Lock.

Highly doubt he ever makes it.

Thanks man, I was wondering what his standing was within the club and the game.
This explains a lot.

How'd the Rizk boys go?

They go pretty well at that level, both pretty small, stocky build; I didn't see the games in question but I've heard (probably on here) that when Josh played with our Under-21's this year he didn't go too well though.

Who knows though, I think Josh is still pretty young.

I also read on here we lost one of them to south's.

Was hoping they'd kick on as was a fan of their efforts for Lebanon.

Was one Parra Jnr that stood out for Lebanon too though that never kicked on named Jason Wehbe.

Yeah I think Josh Rizk has gone to Souths after falling out of favor at WT.
 
I am once again requesting information on Tommy Talau.
Update: Round 14

Wests Tigers have almost a full squad to choose from heading into the back half of the season with just a handful of players missing through injury.
Adam Doueihi was targeting a Round 14 return but still has a bit of work to do before he’s good to go.
Doueihi is yet to play in 2022 after undergoing a knee reconstruction late last season. He’s been gradually increasing his load in training and is getting stronger by the week. A return to the NRL is imminent.

Stefano Utoikamanu has been playing with a foot injury for the past few weeks after undergoing surgery earlier in the season. He’s been left out of the squad to face Manly on Sunday and could be sidelined for up to a month.
AJ Kepaoa (foot) has been named to play NSW Cup on Sunday. James Roberts (back), and Oliver Gildart (calf) are also a chance of playing reserve grade this weekend at Campbelltown.

Tommy Talau (ACL last season) is expected to be available for selection later in the season.
 
Occasionally is seen on various players IG stories

All smiles...
Still lacking ability though.
 
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him return into the backrow and think we would see the best of him their. Thought he was good in the backs and underrated 19 tries in 35 games by the age of 21 when people talk excitedly about blokes in jersey flegg who are 21 and haven’t played any nrl
Reckon he'd be a better option than Kelma...
Temporarily.

I just don't think he has it to be a first grade player long term.

Could potentially be a gun in super league... or nsw cup though.
