Talau hungry for more NRL chances after 'unreal' debut

[TheDaBoss]

2020 season seems so close yet so far away.......

 

[AnotherOne]

Those in favour of Talau slotting straight into Marsters' vacant centre position say aye.

 

[Sully]

I say AYE

He is a 6, I would like to see him have a run there

 

[AL The Tiger]

We need Lomax...

 

[TheDaBoss]

Ayeaye captain

 

[Roar_Power]

@TigersBusDriver I do hope he gets here. Rate him highly - plenty of speed, perfect for FB

Aye

 

[Demps]

@TigersBusDriver Agree.
Talau looks a great prospect though

1 Mbye
2 Talau
3 Lomax
4 Momorovski
5 Nofoluma

That really gives us some height in the backline.
Nofo obviously being the shortest but the others having some good height and speed.

Based on our current roster Aye

Even with that outcome I just feel our backline is still one classy game breaker short.

Add in Brooks and Benji and you have two classy game breakers.

If he works hard in the offseason I'd be happy for him to have the spot

Yeah, I don't think we have a fullback for next year. Mbye and Thompson both seem like capable standins but not a genuine fullback in NRL level. Other than that, not bad.

Yes that’s pretty much our gap I’m afraid. Not easy to fill with what we need. I could live with something like Gagai (swap with Matterson) or I could even take a chance with Moylan or Dugan from the shire if a low cost deal can be reached where the sharks pay a high % of the contract.

Happy with the direction to promote this guy and move on the "just happy to be a first grader" Marsters

Tend to agree, even though I have no first hand knowledge of him previously. I don't want an already solid youngster bulking up and losing a bit of flair to possibly play in another position.

Put him on the rack in the off season - after 3 months he'll be looking down on everyone.

Wouldn't want any of them myself.
