Thomas Talau

[tony soprano]

Worst part is BJ killing it in reserves (talau does not rip apart the parra reserve team like bj did) and mbye as a better option than talau really dumb by the club

 

[tony soprano]

This bloke is another Jordan Rankin. Oxygen thief plodder. Stifles our attack every time he touches the ball, mainly due to how slow he is. I'd love to see him in a race with Tamou and Utoikamanu. I know who I'd have my money on to come last. What is he in the team for? His defense isn't great either

Mate totally agree on talau.

He is not an nrl centre

But the popular opinion is to bag AJ.

AJ can't catch!!!!!

His hands were fine today

Lay off the kid.. he has heaps to learn... will be a beast at centre.. needs a quality winger outside him.

I have seen him in reggies and first grade now...about 20 games in total.

And I see absolutely nothing that suggests he will be anything other than a borderline first grader / state cup player.

What are you basing your "beast" comment on? He has done absolutely nothing to indicate that.

Scored a crucial try last week... our first...

As much as I think AJ/TT are struggling. Don’t know how much better BJ would be...yeah he has dominated in cup but how much better can an old lazy pea heart be. The guy didn’t even seem to care about being demoted. Would maybe look at Hoffman by years end or Kei if he can stay injury free. Cooper, Cini, Fitzgibbon other options but think they would struggle with the leap.

Which any center could have scored.

I really want to see Fitzgibbon succeed...but he is a year away from NRL at best. Not an option mate.

Cini, yes.

Agree he is not offering much,but Bj was dropped for a reason,pity that momoirovski guy got moved on

Mbye needs to play left centre next week or not at all, Simpkin replaces Mbye on the bench and Talau in reggies, and Twal at lock is bog average, surely we have better

AJ was streets ahead of Talau today, not good enough, needs a stint in reggies

Agree regarding Fitzgibbon. Cini I’m unsure of, he looked good today but not sure how his defence would go in the frontline is my biggest concern, as rumour has it he’s a poor defender

He's hardly killing it. Still has a poor work ethic.

Agree in a game like today we need a lock that can make metres as well as defend well

He .... shows ... NOTHING!

 

[hobbo1]

Time to punt him to the knock on cup

Maybe in 3 years time, not even close to NRL grade. At least foot hands put triple the effort he did today.

He murdered them today class above

He only dropped one today and that was off a deflection that many others also would have dropped.

Did what he had to and nothing more - doesn't go looking for the ball and isn't going to earn a recall with his work ethic at the moment.
