Tommy Talau #225

I'm one of the few that believe Tommy if he can remain injury free will be a decent player. Seems we have a talent for moving them on not so good at attracting them.
Not entirely sure what that means, given we attracted Tommy T in the first place, as a Bulldogs junior.
 
Strange how Sheens spruiked Talau as basically a new signing to make us a better side and 7 games later he has signed with Manly. Things change way too quickly at WT. Sheens is chasing his tail; old boy doesn't seem to have a clue anymore...
You guys still falling for the trap of believing anything Tim Sheens says in public? Geez, him and Wayne Bennett never tell you what's really going on.
 
If they dont have an offer from WTs ,our guys coming off contract like Talau can be expected to look elsewhere
Staines/Laurie/Wakeham and Brooks all have managers working hard to secure their future outside WTs..and unlikely to be here next year
Sure hope Sheens has a contingency plan that doesnt include Brooks as a default resigning,cause were gonna be very skinny in NRL backs next year
And WTs losing our appeal to quality backs ..in fact all players..on a monthly basis aint gonna make it easy to replace them
Thank goodness we have Shenius and player magnet Benji running the show.
I can relax in that knowledge
 
You can't write young players off at 22/23 That's the very reason we see plenty of the ones that got the old don't let the door hit you on the way out playing well at other clubs. Tommy has got passion and he has got plenty of footy in him and a smart buy for Manly.
 
I wonder if TT gave the Tigers a chance to match/beat the Manly offer?...or did we just show him the door.
Manly made an original attempt to get Talau before the June 30 deadline on an immediate deal.
Tigers rejected it
There was no formal offer from the tigers to match/beat
Looks like the door had a pretty enticing offer
 
I remember in the past he had a large lower grade fan club as well.
You know what I mean “ future star”, “ could be anything “, “ needs to be in first grade”.
I will say he could score a try but never sure if that was him or the people around him.
It will be interesting to see what happens at the Tails. I think Harper would be a bit nervous !
