Tallyn Da Silva #270

[Tucker]

Sheens likes throwing young players in the deep end to see if they'll sink or swim
Jahream is doing a great job so let's hope TDS will at least float
😂🤣🩲🥽🏊‍♂️

Enormous difference playing fullback to playing in the middle.
Almost different sports…

 

[Tucker]

They are a pair of dipshits.
I’d love to beat one of them senseless using the other one.

 

[Merlot]

if our forwards step up n blast a hole thru the middle,he;ll find a way

I hate to think that COVID & our previous lack of direction on elite junior pathways has not seen a highly rated, talented and committed local Magpies junior like Rua Ngatikaura entirely miss his opportunity to make NRL!!

It is starting to look like that (compounded by injury) - & it would be a travesty!

I want to see the best kids from both the Macarthur and Balmain junior regions constantly knocking on the NRL door!

Hasn't happened since Sheens first coaching stint - when partisan fans could debate the relative merits of Farah or De Gois (FARAH obviously!!)....

For the halfwits who rate Lee and Pascoe - please identify their Damascus moment when they realised the current direction is best - after taking us in never-ending loops and down dead end streets for years??

Sheens plays these punks off a break when it comes to football!!!

Wow was De Gois from WT land?
I remember thinking he had something going at Cronulla. Otherwise a very unremarkable player.

suffered from head knocks,played for 4 teams,all went better when he was playing

 

[innsaneink]

De Gois was a tough nut

 

[batboy]

De Gois was a tough nut

Wasn't a Farah, But did a better than decent job everywhere he went.
Good bloke to boot....

There is no other hooker named in the squad if api isn’t playing da silver will be on the bench

Super excited

 

[Kelce68]

Won't play unless there's an injury to Api in Origin.

Will be all the better for the experience though. He's the real deal, Tallyn.

 

[hank37w]

Jake Simpkin is on the bench at #14 unless I'm mistaken.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

play him on the bench and rest api go for it sheens

The greatest hooker and worst human to play the game, Bouncing Benny Elias made his first grade debut at 18.

 

[Bellend]

If Tallyn has the same mongrel attitude his dad had when he was playing then the kid will do ok if he gets the chance. His dad had a big heart and was very under rated as a player. Tallyn is very switched on as a football player and this will surprise a lot of people.

I remember that game. I'm pretty sure he came on as a halfback.

I was there (my dad was a Balmain supporter). I'm pretty sure you're right. Benny transformed Balmain into a decent team.

Benny had a pack of intimidating beasts to help look after him,even though our pack is much better than it was it is not at that level.

I can think of a few worse humans who played league. Chris Dawson murdered his wife and got away with it for almost 40 years. Ryan Tandy tried to fix matches then was involved in a drug-related kidnapping. And then there's James Tedesco who is the captain of the Sydney Roosters (think that one speaks for itself).

 

[Bigscreentv]

How old was Farrah when he debuted?

Just asked ChatGPT - he was 19.

No mate, in 1982 Balmain was a pretty piss poor team. (They ran 11th) Blocker only started towards the end of the year so was still raw. Buckets Hemsley was there but their forwards weren't the intimidating group they came to be later.
Our forwards are not inferior to that pack.

we probably are the champions in selecting shady characters e.g. John Elias, Craig Field etc.😢
