first 3 games as a forward he ran less than his avg
our best centre a long way
I was interested in how this compared so I ran it back against Tracey's stats at centre last year.

It's worth noting that Tracey played one extra game there than Talakai has this year. Also hard to compare given the different structures of the two sides year to year.
Another interesting point is Talakais stats from that ridiculous 40m against Manly.
2 Tries, 3 Linebreaks, 2 Linebreak assists, 3 Try assists, 3 offloads, 8 Tackle Breaks and 262m.
So he has achieved almost half of those 'try involvement' stats in 40 minutes of football. Take this away and the rest of his games he has a similar output to Tracey (asside from tackle breaks which is the big outlier).
TLDR: Outside of that 40m against Manly, I don't think there is that much of a gap in performance between him and Tracey.
