Interesting comment from Jacko.
Looks like the writings on the wall.

Hopefully Tommy fills that bench utility role and does a great job for us.

Well done !

Unless I'm looking at a different insta post he didn't say what you have quoted at all. "Back of the scrum" implies lock. Hastings actually said "backrow", which indicates on an edge.

Really hope Tommy T kicks on. One of the few that looks like he gives a damn.

Perfect 14 until he gets healthy.
Mad step and strength close
To the line, he can fill in anywhere

Different post mate, he said both.

1 year extension for Talau is perfect.

I'm backing him to make it count, but not much risk if it goes the other way.

Glad it is only for one year. Not convinced he is the real deal.

I think Tommy needs at least half a dozen games in the reserves before he’s thrown into the NRL back row.

All due respect Yoss, he isn't being
Thrown in anywhere, just needs
To grow in his big boy body that's all

I think he has a massive future ahead.

Interesting that it’s another one year extension . Get fit and show us what you’ve got, seems to be the message.

"I can’t wait to get back to full fitness, and doing what I love doing, and that’s playing footy"

Tommy Talau

What's full fitness going to look like with this guy?
Are we going to see a stronger lad capable of playing in the forwards or are we going to see a leaner faster lad.
I think the latter will be a hard task coming back from that terrible knee injury.
The upside is he's got a full preseason and trials to work on fitness.
I wonder if he has ever played in the forwards during development years?
Does anyone know?

Talau was a decent center before he got injured .We missed him this year
I would hope our rehab and physio staff are professional enough to have him firing for 2023 . Its been 14 months already since he last played

 

[watersider]

He'd be fine already for hitups in the back row. However, we really need dominant tacklers out there and physically I'd say he'd only be a below average tackler.

Anyway, back row is where he needs to be because he's not fast and not a game breaker so back row suits him. I'm guessing he'll be more valuable there in a few years rather than this season. A bit like Reuben wiki developed over time.

Well deserved Tommy 🙏🏼🏋️

So your saying that he's staying as a centre?
In my opinion he was slow before his injury, or maybe he just looked like it 🤔 If our backs consisted of TT, Jacko and AD it will be
wheelchair footy.

You are looking at a different insta post. He posted what I commented in his story.
