The game has passed him by

He was really good those first few years, one of the few players we got the best of and let go. See ya Shaz.

Thanks mate, don't get to see to much of the young guys coming through, I wish they would go back to the days where you went to the games and could watch all 3 grades, because at a time like this where were not travelling to well at least we could see who was coming through and have some hope and see how they're developing in the lower grades over time.

Go to about 1:25 to watch the highlights of the Magpies Semi-Final. Da Silva works a very short blind side to set up a crucial try in the last 10 minutes of regular time. He then scores the match winner in extra time. Couple of clutch plays. The number 12 Galvin also looks fantastic in this game (as he does in most of the games too).

I totally agree with you on the 3 grades in one day...I got to the last Campbelltown ones vs Manly and saw Flegg, Cup and NRL...it should happen more regularly!

I may have missed it but who were the spine players Sheens identified for 3 years time. Da Silva was one I presume but what about the rest?

Noone knows

Nothing spectacular we seem to get a bit over excited about young ones , remember they are playing 17 year olds not men , Simpkin and Liddle were both outstanding coming through the grades , its a different story against hardened Nrl players... hard to understand Sheens excitement about a few 17 year olds .

That’s why your commenting on a forum and he’s being spoken about as top 5 coach of all time . That’s not an insult to you by the way . Just a comment on The obvious. say what you will about Tim as the coach , but Tim as a talent identifier has never at any point been in question .
and To be fair about him as a coach , which I haven’t seen mentioned yet , IMO the reason he struggled in the 2010s is because of how dominant wrestling was , and the type of teams which succeeded were basically cheating for the most part . So other teams were searching for coaches from those types of systems . Tim was considered a dinosaur…… until uncle Pete came in and returned the game back to something similar to what got success in the early 2000s.

Tallyn Da Silva....was a part of the Wests Harold Matthews undefeated team. Very highly rated.

I hope they can all handle the hype Sheens is constantly jamming into them...

There's no NRL players to big up in the team....

Like it or not, the young ones are being identified as the way forward for us and the club is pouring everything into the Pathways systems. Not all will make it to the NRL , as you said they need to prove it against hardened NRL players. Hopefully we get a few real quality ones come through and kick on and then the club add the right experienced players to complement them.

They all need to start somewhere and that begins with dominating their current age divisions. In Da Silva's case, I posted this video because of the importance of the tries. I watched most of this game and we looked gone..twice. Da Silva stepped up with 2 big plays in a final. You want players who back themselves in the big moments.

I trust Sheens knows what he is doing and prefer to be optimistic about the future of the club!

News Corp understands Storm officials have also held talks with the Tigers over whether they would consider lending Melbourne any outside back for the remainder of the season – Storm coach Craig Bellamy and Tigers head of football Tim Sheens have a relationship dating back more than 30 years to their time together in Canberra.

Winger Ken Maumalo is believed to be of interest to the Storm, although their priority remains the electrifying Walsh, with discussions around Campbell proving fruitless at this stage.

How come no one has mentioned Marshall’s blatant anti tampering in approaching players before November 1?

You can talk to who ever you like, you can't make an offer until November 1

I’d be happy for that to happen even take nofo might help him develop his defence

I would just give them those 2, don't worry about sending them back either

Nof could do with a stint away from WT

 

[The SHADOW]

We all have players we love to hate from other clubs, and with the time it’s taking to officially announce any new signings , I hope we don’t attract those kind of players . Make a statement , top quality only , not someone like Charlie Staines to take us forward.

 

[batboy]

Imagine the size of the cranium when he got back if he goes down to the Storm and wins the comp....

Stratospheric!!

 

[Curaeus]

Nof can play all right and it would be good to see how he went in the Storm system under Bellyache. I like the Storm-Tigers connection. Worked well for us with Harry Grant joining us on loan last year and may be good for us in future if we need to borrow a player or two.

Surely the Moses talk has to be media rubbish....

Pretty sure MM has both privately and publicly slated us and is known to despise us as a club? .... Can't really see him wanting to come back here

My opinion is we go after Suaalii offer him a massive contract to play fb. And see how the Roosters handle it. They might just offer up Teddy to keep Suaalii
