Tallyn Da Silva #270

[HabboTiger]

whats big money for kikau 800K?

 

[mtd#2]

Should should book mark this statement. I reckon Para will finish above us this year and next.

Ive bookmarked your comment and I'll see if I remember to look next year lol

 

[Needaname]

Issue is Api 34 next season, really worth letting him go for the long term

No true. Api turns 33 this year after the season concludes. (November). His isn’t 34 until his current contract expires.

 

[Needaname]

I don’t get the rush why not keep him here till the end of next year?

Apparently he is on $500k next year.
Surely we sign two backup hookers for that amount!

 

[Wezt]

Right now the full strength best 17s of both clubs we have better backs but they beat us in the forwards

We can go another year of Pole and May being the only competent forwards.

 

[Chunk]

I said it before the season start, I'm not convinced TDS is NRL standard. He's shown flashes of okayness when coming off the bench but mostly, he's a weak defender, gives away too many penalties and throws a lot of poor passes from DH. I know he's only young but he hasn't shown anything to be suggest he's the Messiah.

That's not the point, he's highly rated amongst people who know the game.

So because of this, the more prudent thing to do is to keep him, even though he may not become the superstar people claim he could be.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

The rumour doing the rounds is that Kikau will be pushed out he is on big money and 2 or 3 of there young forwards all have been asking for up grades

Preston is reported on $375K and wants more

Kikau Apparently has been offered to the Tigers and will have to pay full $$$ for him

Would do it in an instant.

lol, not my statement, your statement, either way both are pretty bold claims but not outside the realm of possibility!

I quoted your because I'll know who to respond to if it's wrong or right lol

 

[The Chad]

If the money quoted for TDS- $800k+ is even close to true, the Tigers are doing the right thing in setting their sights elsewhere.

4-5 years LOCKED IN on a guy that is developing....that isn't smart money.

 

[Tucker]

I am led to believe there was some off field drama surrounding Tallyn and it was best for all parties to just let him go..

Are you framing that as he is the problem?

 

[Needaname]

I’m still amazed that tallyn was due to be on close to $500k next year.

Any increase in contract or term, would need to be above this amount and reflective of possible trajectory as well.

We now have a war chest again, let’s see what comes from it.

Was this the main reason Phil? I recall back in the threa it was you that was told a bit about why it had accelerated so quickly.

 

[Needaname]

I see Haywood made the bench for NSW Cup yesterday, so things may start accelerating there to start getting him up to speed.

How did he go?

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

So apparently he was on $400K next year? Crazy money for such an inexperienced player who hasn't showed much. And now he's gonna be on even more. They even already have Ryley Smith who is already a better player and may even have a higher ceiling. Hope it ends poorly for Parramatta.

 

[Buttface]

Yeah that’s him.
Who’s your uncle ?

Uncle knocked around with Grant at High school, and footy. He didn’t say yet but I know Grants sister used to come around, she was a good sort and witty. I was a young teenager and I liked her.
He said there’s a few good stories there, but I will have to tell you in person. Next week.
I think Grant stopped hanging bcoz of football and he got a trade as an electrician, and started doing the right things in life.

 

[Buttface]

BREAKING: Tallyn Da Silva has signed a long-term deal with the Parramatta Eels with the young hooker joining the club with immediate effect.

Da Silva will form a lethal 1-2 partnership with Ryley Smith in the coming seasons.

Really disappointing. Why is it this kid can’t see out his contract?
Are we letting everyone go immediately if they/we don’t wanna extend?

 

[orange&black]

I think it’s as simple as TDS wants to play NRL now. His manager obviously wants him to sign a new contract now. Richo and Benji don’t want to choose him over Api and must believe they have a good succession plan in place.
Richo has repeatedly said he only wants players that want to be here and TDS has been a loyal junior until now. So letting him go is probably the best thing for all parties and I’m sure there’s something in it for us - Richo is pretty shrewd I think. Lets see what plays out.

 

[Buttface]

TDS signs a 4 1/2 year deal with Parramatta . Is this the latest genius move by Richo and Benji .Who the hell is our Dummy half next week ?
We lack depth and even short-staffed we offload Galvin and now TDS
Seems everyone happy to get out of the joint
What's the master plan .Oh I'm sorry we don't have one !

Seems like the same plan as Mc and Bailey.

 

[Odessa]

Would do it in an instant.

Mate I just go to the pub or club meet up with the old p!SS heads and chat lots of rumours 1 guy I know volunteers at Junior leagues taping up the kids match day and use to tape two NRL teams he has lots of gossip as well but it's just rumour until it comes true

But the Canterbury and Kikau rumour has legs I have heard that before apparently the young forwards have kicked on more then planned and they have the young Newcastle guy coming and picked up the guy from the dragon's

Mate when has there ever been anything in it for us in these situations?
