Tallyn Da Silva #270

[jirskyr]

If you can't see an issue with this then I don't know what to say. It's called professionalism.

Haha professionalism in the newspaper is meaningless. Win games or don't win games.

Richo said himself that they would not stand in TDS’ way to play first grade. Richo acknowledged his path was blocked here. So of course moving to another club where he’s a good shot of being a starter almost off the bat, plus a hefty increase in his salary is moving on to bigger and better things. It was meant in the context of his career, not a slight on our club. Now, Galvin taking a shot by replying to TDS leaving, that’s a different story. But this kid just wanted a chance to play first grade, and was willing to play here, but the club wanted to go in another direction, but I digress. His father was just proud of his son. No malice or vindictiveness in it.

Agree and for me I would have preferred him thanking the Tiger for giving him the opportunity otherwise he would be playing cup still and not getting 650k deal.

I believe the club did the right thing as its better for us long term as well.

No grudges from me as you only get so long to play and I would have taken the 650k deal every day of the week.

Tallyn himself did something like that...thanked WTs

He was willing to play at WTs so long as Koroisau wasn't re-signed. Remember the him or me spiel.

Fiction. Richo said himself Api was the priority.

"It's up to the Tigers to decide what they want to do but if Api stays, chances are Tallyn will have to go."

Right. Cos the club prioritised Api. Now he’s at a club with a much clearer path.

I’d hardly argue he has a clearer path to first grade when he’s battling with Ryley Smith who’s shown a lot more in first grade.

He should at least be on the bench though. It’s definitely clearer for him. He’s been playing reserve grade here.

 

[Telltails]

There are no guarantees that you hold a position at any club.
If Ryley Smith out plays TDS he will dominate the DH role and he has a lot more years ahead of him then API. They have just extended Smith so they are committed to him just like we are to API.
There was very much a path here sick to death of hearing otherwise

So true there is a path here I Think it's about $$$$

And he can learn so much under Api play 25 minutes a game in 27 could start and play 50 and API playing second fiddle

They probably weren’t really that broken then. Couldn’t be bothered to fact check.

well… they were wooden spooners when he took over … just the one though

 

[Tom Shines]

That's a June 30 thing, isn't anyone paying attention?

Either TDS goes before June 30 or he goes on Nov 1st. NRL has locked out transfers between this time. We made the call not to wait until end of year when we've then paid TDS 100% of his contract.

"Immediately" only applies because the decision was made at the end of June.

I think they should have kept him to Nov 1…or traded him for a player… they aren’t short of salary cap money … they are short of players

 

[Bigscreentv]

Lots of words but not a single point that justifies the decision to let him go right now (rather than at the end of 25) and give up on the current season at the end of June.

Money. That’s all. Longer term play. Save the cash now.

Nothing to do with newspapers, just some respect for your members. Parramatta officially announcing it before we did is unprofessional.

I felt dissappointment at the result walking out of the ground that day yet very proud of the effort

Same but what does my head in is we need a reason to get up for a game. We shouldn't need a reason we should compete every week.

OK that's your opinion, but I am a member and I say that I don't care.

I think we were all fairly aware of the Parramatta deal before even the Eels announced it.

There's certainly some pressure on APi, if he loses form or keeps getting injured next year.......gggrrrrr.

I don't think he will btw

I don’t think there’s any pressure on Api.
He just continues to give his all.
If that’s not good enough, it’s on the club and their recent decision 🤷‍♂️
