‘We’re putting our eggs into Api’s basket’: Benjidefends prioritising captain’s signature

[Tired Tiger]

I don't see what all the fuss is about, Tallyn will be a great footballer. The club has told him he is wanted and they want extend him.

It's actually Tallyn issue not a tigers issue. If Tallyn had the confidence and is good as everyone says he is, he would simply stay and displace Api.

Fact is Tallyn doesn't want to stay and do the hard work. He wants 1st grade now so go get it somewhere else good luck wish you all the best.

It's all crystall ball rubbish Api will be this is 27 Tallyn will be that.

In the future Api will be spelled in games, it just means someone else will be his robyn not Tallyn.

No matter what the truth holds, the best hooker plays on GameDay which is Api and if you don't have the stones, work ethic and confidence to dethrone him then piss off see you later don't let the door hit you on the way out .......

Nice words for now ,,,I suggest most of us will still be still here in 2027 and beyond to see what actually happens …no one knows now how things will turn out …

 

[Winston Churchill]

Far out, this bloke cant coach now he says dumb shit like that.

Api will be putting in 20min quality games time in 26, fark knows what 27 will be looking like. Can old Bob down at the pub start coaching this lot yet. Absolute tools.

 

[Demps]

That's my captain.

This is not a conversation about who is the best is today. Again, it’s about 27, and there is this assumption that it’s a given that Api will still be the same version he is today.

Correct , Tallyn could do his ACL next game so could Api. Simon Dwyer and Alex McKinnon were killing it and both their lives changed irevricollly in an instant.

The only thing that stay true is the best player plays on GameDay. Earn it or get lost, no more free rides .....

100% it's about who is best today and into the future. Api will decline for sure, if Tallyn was so confident he would stay and earn it. He doesn't have the stones to take Api's spot off him pure and simple.

If only we had a coach who could say the same...

 

[Merlot]

i love this club and want to be part of seeing it turn around . But as an up and comining 20 yr old mega star i demand a megathread or im out of here , ps , its not about the money ,its you

 

[Odessa]

Anyone think this thread might have some potential to linger ?

For about 12 years

 

[crazycat]

Why the hate on API?

Seriously.

So many games, so many times. The man of the match has been 1. Api, 2. Api and 3 maybe someone else.

What, he will slow down at Hooker? Ofcourse he will.
Can we keep him on the team? A International hooker who has played in more Grand finals then anyone else who has been here... Ofcourse he can.

When he is 34, were going to have to ask him to retire. 32, he is fine.

Heck he was still our best player on the field for many games in 2025.
We have 99 problems but 7 ain't 1!

What a load of crap.
Fair dinkum use some common sense and think rather than believe crap on line.

How so oh wise one, again you offer no facts just petty insults as usual.

When there are at least 4 other clubs sniffing around him, and likely more to show interest, why does he need to?

The 4 other clubs don't have API.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The 4 other clubs don't have API.

Nor are they showing interest in him. They want TDS.

I’ve presented many facts over the past few days including interviews from the off season and earlier this year that specifically contradicts the narrative that Tallyn doesn’t have the guts to displace Api.
It’s an absolute nonsense and isn’t true.

😅😅😅 Based on what,?

API isn't free to negotiate with other clubs... If he was do you really think there'd be no interest? Lol

I doubt too many want Api for 2027. Maybe Perth as they need to fill a whole squad in a year.

It wouldn’t be the same interest as the contract would be for 27 onwards.
