Official Siosifa Talakai

[Blue_Eyes84]

Great game

 

[JimBob]

One of the few shining lights from tonight.

Blinder of a game.

 

[MMsharks]

effort was there from him

 

[Sharkie556]

Our best player tonight

 

[Sharkfox]

Good game tonight, best player out there

 

[Sharkfox]

Has Talakai done enough for an NSW recall? or never again after last year?

3 Talakai 4 Mitchell. I could see that.

It will be Latrell at left centre, Graham right.

Yep and Sifa perfect for the bench as they need a second rower / centre cover.

I dont see him making the blues, for bench they'll go for someone currently playing second row who can play middle, like Hudson Young or Olakau'atu if he doesnt start. The other two bench spots for front rowers. Last spot on bench for a utility, which will either be Api or a back like Nicho or Burton. Murray will be starting back row who can also cover centre

In my opinion it will be API , 2 middles and someone else - I would even consider Bird for that role.

HIA is so big these days that all positions need cover ..

He covers forwards and backs. Who else can better than him?

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

I think he can start at Centre.

 

[MrDravid]

He's not an impact forward who can come off the bench. He'd do a good job as a starting centre, but we only pick fullbacks there.

 

[Sharkfox]

If no Latrell i reckon they would go with Campbell Graham on the left side. Then have Turbo or Kotoni on the right

2 To'o 3 Mitchell 4 Talakai 5 Graham

His defence a worry ?

Sifa won’t get a gig either as a centre or off the bench.
The way Freddie used him last series has put a line through him I suspect

I suspect that you are right.

 

[Capital_Shark]

Sifa is playing better now than when he was picked but super coaches, podcasters & the media can't see it so aren't frothing over him. He won't get a mention.

Agreed

 

[Sir Chadley]

He got the Origin gig last year on the basis of one game. It was over hyped by the media so he was picked.

As was said above he’s playing consistently better at the moment but the media have gone cold because he’s not playing like that Manly game each week.

Totally unfair and ridiculous.

What’s even more ridiculous is that there are still people on this forum that want to move him to the forwards.
