Fletch and Hindy were having a laugh.
Didn't look like he wanted a bar of it.

Serious guy.
He's a fantastic player.
Would love him at our club.

TD's reaction was funnier than theor jokes. Looked like he wanted to get up and cut them open. Funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Haha, it was great eh...
Like they were trying to have a laugh at him, when he said Gordie gave him his number.
Blank face response, "Not like that."
When those clowns were giggling.

He just seems very staunch, just like he plays.

BTW this is about Tallis Duncan.

The only issue I have is this:
Wayne Bennett is one of the best in the business. With Alex Johnson leaving, he will keep any winger that's any good.

So... Were dreaming! Unless Tallis refuses to play for unders or has some kind of alcahol problem or something.

I am working on a theory... Some coaches can pick players well, some can't.
Ivan Cleary is a great coach, but poor player picker. He picked a horrible side while here.
Shane Flanagan seems to be half way. His only mistake so far has been Klemmer. Des Haslier I put in this category too.
Craig F knew to punt K Hunt, even though he seemed like a big unit and a gun in the making. I wouldn't take any more from Cronulla..
Bellamy is a genius.

We should be very wary when a good coach lets "talent" go.

Tallis Duncan is a second rower...what's all this wing talk?

Ahh, no.

He played SG Ball for Roosters in 2020.

Richo left Souths in March 2020.

Duncan arrived at Souths for the 2021 SG Ball season.

Maybe I got it wrong but I was told by Mark Ellison who is or was the South Sydney football manager who lives next door to a friend of mine. Maybe I had one to many beers
 
Tallis Duncan showed plenty of potential as an emerging 13, but looks even better on an edge.
Very good player, looks like he will be genuine rep quality very soon.
With this in mind you would say Souths need him as much as anyone else, they won’t let him go unless he gets a mammoth offer from Perth Bears.
There was recent rumours Souths were looking at signing Adam Elliott, that’s one I find a bit strange considering Souths have quite a few options at 13.
Elliott has been very injury prone and is getting on in age, but offers a very direct ball running/play making 13 option.
Obviously he’s not someone you could offer much money to, but for a small price I think he would be very handy to have for 12 months to see how it works out.

Yea, they are decent options...

But we have:
Makasini
Toa
Tyrone May
Turuva

With Skelton around as well. I wouldn't be looking at Bailey S, unless he comes cheap. I would ask Luai on Alamotti because Luai would have played with him.

Sloan though can cross the line. His defence isn't good and that worries me. One thing our backline has done is helped our defense go from Bad to "kinda not so bad". We are getting rammed in the forwards and I would like to keep the current lineup as I expect their defense to improve with fewer player changes.

Sloan gets a rough deal at the Dragons. He's not a Flanagan style of player. Raw pace is an outstanding commodity and I'm sure our coaching team teach him defence.
