Official Siosifa Talakai

[CHOGM]

Read that. It's just an opinion/speculation piece from the author. Not much actual inside info.

I'm also calling BS on Talakai "burning up all of his energy in defence".

Only two problems with his attack were:
- too many errors inside his own end, and
- he got **** all quality ball once Trindall came in to the team

Both are fixable.

There assessment was nuts because he was a wrecking ball at centre. It's not like they moved him and messed it all up. No player stays that damaging forever. Oppositions work how out how to manage it, but in the process it stretches what else they can do and helps the team all round. Anyway poor old fox sport. Need some new click bait every day. It must be tough.

I'm happy to say I don't know what will happen - I think you can argue for and against each option quite validly.

I do think it makes sense to start him doing preseason at centre to ensure he is an option there if nobody else emerges.
Ball is likely in Iro's court to prove to coach he is in the best 17 - he'd presumably be the front runner to emerge and move Talakai.

If Iro can't do that in preseason when given the chance to compete then that's on him and nobody else, he doesn't deserve the chance to play on NRL stage just in case that motivates him to step up. The jersey is right there, step up now.


Yep, but still pays the same though! Hope he is getting a cut!

I'm praying that Iron takes that step forward.

Fingers crossed he comes out steaming, rather than feeling flat

Personally I'm a big fan of silicon.

He doesn't do any

His lateral movement is like a sloth.

You should be able to tell that I'm also not a professional athlete.

Huh. Talakai is AFB's cousin.

Yeah they’re cousins but they see each other more like brothers I’d say
Closer than the Morris twins we’ll say I’ve heard
Jump on the hype train DT

Saw on Reddit (so take it with a grain of salt), a few people have heard rumours that Sifa is set to shift out of centre for Iro.

Anyone else heard anything?

I was kind of expecting him to start the year there but last couple of photos I've seen of him he does look to have put some size back on.

All I've heard is via shark cast that Sifa, Iro and Dykes are options for that spot. But I read something the other day that they haven't done all that much positional training yet, so I'd doubt any firm decision has been made. You'd want them all to feel like they are a chance at the spot till deep in the preseason IMO.

Looks like a single door fisher and paykel fridge. Absolute beast!
