Yes Talau made errors ..just like even elite players in the game make errors..the problem is Wests Tigers unlike the top teams can't actually defend errors..it has been an issue for a long time..instead of stealing themselves the whole team goes to water..

Tommy is young and has talent..just needs to work hard on getting them out of his game..he's not on his own in that..

Looking forward to see how he goes if he lines up at centre this week..

Yep. Had a good chance.
He is not good enough. And it's not even close.

It’s a shame as I thought he’d be a gun
Lacks intelligence
Slow as
Poor hands

Deadset so bad....
I was begging to see him space and then we got it and he was the worst.

Did very well tonight. Very committed. Centre is his position.

Some good some bad this week, made the usual 2 - 3 errors still, one directly resulting in a try as usual, but to his credit scored one and had a hand in another for us
 
Good and bad - hands let him down, defensively he was improved and he can hit a hole in attack.

Still not good enough for mine and needs replacing with a real first grader
 
In the centre, his defence was very good. Late in the second half he worked hard with Brooks to shut down the Dragon's attack. He is a strong line runner and played well. It's encouraging he did so on the left as I feel Kepaoa is better on the right.
 
My 2 cents worth

1. He’s a centre not a winger.
2. Make sure he makes his obligatory handling error in the first 5 minutes and were good.

What a difference a week makes..when you can defend errors...
 
Good centre and plays much better their then wing.

He needs to make less errors but we also need to remember he just turns 21 - he is still eligible to play in Jersey Flegg this year - so all the talk about Ogden or Kei or other kids from jeresey flegg - they are the same age as Talau and he is doing it in FG already
