Tallyn Da Silva #270

[Aussielion]

I can cop losing this guy next year. He is not Benny Elias mk2. He has quite a bit of development to do before he is considered a significant loss.

What I cannot cop is letting him go early without some sort of compensation. Next week, we are most likely to have Hope and Murray sharing the hooking duties. In a year where we are very much in spoon territory, Hope and Murray sharing the hooking role pretty much secures the spoon for us. While I don't rate De'Silva that much, he is a shit load better than the other two. A spoon will have to have some sort of fallout with Benji likely to go (which would be a good thing). A spoon will also put huge pressure on Richo.

$800k

Surely not, he would be the highest paid hooker then I think

Remember Richo always says don't believe it until the club sends members an email. I am sure there will be some sort of transfer fee to cover the next 18 months payable to the club when all parties sit down to finalise tomorrow.

Richo probably told Tartak (TDS' manager) that we would be happy to release immediately if the new club pays us X amount (probably similar to Galvins so maybe around the $150K) & Parra would have been aware in negotations with Tartak.

How do you know what the deal is? De Silva wasn’t prepared to be second in line behind Api.

Im fine with letting him go for 2026. A financial deal for the rest of the season does not cover the damage of yet another spoon.....which we well on track for should Api go down.

 

[upthetigers]

It's almost like we exist in the NRL to be of service to other clubs

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

What a pathetic, supine club

To be fair if we had to rely on Talyn this season we'd be in trouble anyway.. he makes little difference when starting as seen on Friday night..

$150k well thats a relief

 

[Don Kershane]

At least he didn't join his mate Lurch at the dogs.

There is the possibility that Richardson forcing the hand of Galvin frustrated the Dogs' attempt to sign Da Silva.

 

[loklok]

Good luck to talyn. Wish u a successful career.

Could be why they willing to release him before June 30 and not end of year. If released end of yes could have seen them make an offer as Mahoney will prob be gone at end of year

If that was the play by richo, it's a big F U to the doggies.

 

[Westie]

I just don't understand the need to release him now.
Api is out next week, after TDS the next hookers are of Canterbury rd quality or even worse.
Especially not signing anyone else prior to June 30.
Our bench and depth are thin as and the transfer means nothing.
At least sign some gun assistant for Benji.
I am just lost and Richo better surprise me with something positive and not the crappy spin.

 

[hilly1981]

I see Haywood made the bench for NSW Cup yesterday, so things may start accelerating there to start getting him up to speed.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

I wonder how much outrage there'd be if Penrith let go of Luke Sommerton or Trent Toelau !? 😂

The difference is Penrith didn’t hype these guys up to be the saviours of the club like we have. Last year Richo said the team would be built around Lachlan Galvin, Tallyn da Silva & Heamasi Makasini and in the space of a couple of months we’ve seen two of those guys leave for nothing.
