Tallyn Da Silva #270

[Moh]

Seibs said they've spoken to Tallyn but about 26, hasn't had talks about mid-season.

 

[mtd#2]

tell me you can't comprehend, without telling me you can't comprehend.

Tell me you don't understand anything about controlling a team without telling me you don't understand.

 

[Chunk]

That's bullsh!t

Just looked at the Roosters team v Cowboys from last week.
Toia - 20 yo (origin rep)
Foketi - 19 yo
Steep - 20 yo
Ioelu - 20 yo

WT v Manly
Mason - 20 yo
Fainu - 20 yo
Da Silva - 20 yo
Laulilii - 19 yo

Granted, they're all spine players, and there needs to be some experience here.

But, it's not necessarily that they're young. It's that there isn't a proper development system at Wests Tigers. A big catchment with talent means fark all if you can't turn them into good footballers.

Roosters don't even have a catchment, but the bulk of their team made their debut for the club. They bring them in, teach them the fundamentals rather than fancy shapes that they can't execute without proper basic skills, and they are improving every week at roughly the same age. WT kids are getting worse.

If you're 16 with talent, where would you rather go?

We just get second best.

Api is better now. Let’s see how he looks in a few years at 35.

Most successful clubs have a plan for their roster. Extending 34 year olds on big coin while letting your best juniors leave isn’t part of it.

 

[Carefactor]

He's honestly not as good as Simpkin or Liddle. And they are bang average. I don't get the hype. He's poor

Liddle is a [This word has been automatically removed]ing great player

 

[Tucker]

Maybe in a few years he will be good but for now he's not first grade quality.

That’s why he is contracted as an understudy until 2027 at earliest.
The people stating he is or wants to be a starting hooker now are talking shit.

 

[getagrip]

Da Silva is shit

Seibs said they've spoken to Tallyn but about 26, hasn't had talks about mid-season.

Take him now please. Not too excited when he scored his try and nor were his "team" mates.

Bloody oath! Shits on TDS

 

[Harvey]

I get the feeling Richo allowing Benji to extend Api over TDS is giving him enough rope to hang himself.

& the club at the same time. What a cunning plan

 

[Tucker]

Bloody oath! Shits on TDS

Of course he does, he’s far more experienced and older.
I’m not sure you guys are making the point you think you are.

Liddle was always a gun just been plagued with injuries.

He's an interchange hooker for a team worse than us. That's his level.

Is TDS worth investing in though. His performances in NRL so far suggest a 38 year old Api will still be a way better option

Meh…he didn’t do much in the NRL here.
Decent backup.

No he won’t. Api gets tired now. What’s he going to be like after 3 more years of 50+ tackles a week?

 

[Harvey]

Galvin and DaSilva for different reasons did not want to be at WTs. The club made tough decisions and I'm sure it preferred not to be in this position. I am glad these decisions were made and hopefully Da Silva's manager is working to return the favour to WTs.

Galvin and the tigers were at the club in 26. They had signed contracts. Unfortunately this club is the rotting corpse that predators feed off.

 

[Harvey]

Tonights a great eg of why we shouldnt let TDS go early. IF he was not there we are bringing in Hope

Was Hope managed by Richo’s son or was that one just the Brisbane club connection?

 

[Lukic]

Da Silva was poor tonight but what did anyone apart from Doueihi do?

We looked no worse with Da Silva at 9 than we did with Api truth be told.

The reality is Da Silva is only going to improve as a player and Koroisau is only going to get worse. Will Api be a better player than Da Silva in 2028? Api might not even playing then, let alone better.

 

[Camel2281]

Doesn't really matter. TDS is crap

And? TDS had the worst display from an NRL hooker in years
