Tallyn Da Silva #270

Sorry, but he chose to leave with a year and a half still on his contract because he didn’t want to wait behind Api.

So it’s only natural that fans—who were hoping to one day see him take over from Api in Tigers colours one day—are judging his performances to a high standard.

He made the ultimatium, not the Tigers.
Tallyn made a mistake. He thought he was ready to hold his own with the big boys. He takes the pay, he's gotta cop the spray. His learning curve has gone from measured, to vertical.
Still, poor form from his captain. That is not leadership behaviour and would certainly not lead to team harmony. As others have said, he's shown his true colours. Something for the coach to deal with.
 
Well, it's tough titties for TDS it was his choice to go to parra and cop crap from Moses, let's face it he has form for giving sprays now he will have to live with it.
For $600k or $650k or what ever they are paying, I'd cop Mitch the B.itch's foul mouth and just laugh at him maybe that would frustrate him even more and then I could laugh a bit louder.
 
No youngster deserves 3 sprays in a row like that. Moses completely lost the plot and showed his true colours
Moses has a short memory. Some of the things he did when he was 20 at Wests Tigers was way more infuriating than what Talyn did today. True leader would have handled things quite differently.
 
I didn’t get to watch the whole game I only saw the last 5 minutes but in those 5 minutes TDS really messed up and almost cost Parra the game. If they had lost he would have copped an even bigger spray than what Moses gave him on the field. The club I can say at this stage made the right decision in prioritising Api over TDS even though Api is getting older, TDS is nowhere near first grade standard (not on a regular basis at least). He would have been 14 again next season had he stayed.

its also because he was learning from api . and we try and play our footy through our 9. moses is notorious for wanting quick concise ball off the deck. TDS will have to unlearn , and change his playing style to suit Bitchell. Theres a reason the eels cant develop a decent 9. Not while Moses is there . TBH its fair enough . Still TDS is a fool for leaving. Especially to the eels . Whoever was advising him...... has given some poor advice. like the same people advising woods back in the day.Now all he does is bag the tigers , whilst lamenting that hes not welcome back by both the fans and the club ...Now Hayward will get the protege treatment , taking over when hes 21 in 28.

Wdym, Mahoney was a gun there and that Ryley kid looks good too

Not defending Moses but I’m not sure that he prevents hookers from doing what they do

I do see talent in TDS I think eventually he’ll get there, but he ain’t ready yet to be a permanent starter.
