Tommy Talau #225

He will just sook after the fulltime siren and aim up then

That said, we are in deep deep shit currently and unless we replace him with someone better {which we never do} letting players go right now seems crazy
Agree mate , just hate to think we could have sent out a different team , Laurie playing 6 in lower grade , I would have thrown his in at 6 , Staines Fullback and Bulla on a wing ,
 
When that kick went up with 8 to go...Talau had multiple choices as a fresh sub.

1. Hurry back behind his winger in case he needed to help his teammate to not be shoved in goals after catching.

2. Hurry back in case his winger dropped it. Be ready to dive on any loose ball.

3. Look up and do nothing. Take the play off.

Naturally, Talau took option 3.

This despite barely playing and should have been full of energy.

Storm players make those extra efforts. Ours do not even think about doing it. Talau is an 'athlete', he is definitely not a footy player with any real IQ.

Talented,but plain lazy with bad hands
We've persevered long enuff with some of these guys..question is..who do we replace them with
I'm guessing Shenji never saw it coming...
 
Has mentally joined Manly already.

Best mates with many of their players.

He is a waste of a spot. Should be released immediately...so should Fainu, who is useless and the dud one of the brothers (thanks Madge, 2.5 year NRL deal for a bloke who won't ever play NRL).

Free up those two spots and be ready to strike the moment a half becomes available.

Yes yes and yes. Makes no sense to use him in first grade when there are players ready to be tested at the level. Matamua and tumeth. The season is an unfortunate write off , we need to keep developing . Send him ln his way
