Official Siosifa Talakai

If this is true, it will be a huge disappointment.

The fact that we could be looking to move BHU, shows that Fitz and co made a bit of a reckless decision.

Disagree , at the time we kept him almost everyone was happy we did.

We couldn’t anticipate his injuries , that we would sign AFB etc.

I’m glad the club is letting him secure a long term deal if weren’t going to offer him a deal beyond next year and frees up some much needed funds
 
If I remember correctly BHU was killing it when we re-signed him and then he suffered that really bad injury in a game against the Cowboys at Shark Park from a really bad hip drop tackle. Unfortunately he's never been the same since.

It's more reckless to suggest Fitz made a bad decision at the time, no way could anyone have known or predicted his run of injuries.

If true, Panthers could get him and turn him into a weapon on the left edge 😅

I think he's already a weapon on the edge but we have Tieg and he's not as versatile as Talakai.

Honestly I see Talakai just making the full-time move to prop, think he'd do very well there. He'd get more minutes too.

If we offload BHU I dont think Talakai needs to go and we can use Burns/Hohepa as the 4th utility forward

START
AFB
Oregon

BENCH
Hazo
Toby
JC
Puru/Burns

DEPTH
Tuks
McCullogh
Felix
Bradbury ?

Yeah the depth isn't as sexy as it was this year but you probably shouldn't have that much money tied up into props like we currently have anyway and I think Felix/McCullough could handle a few cameo nrl games next year if needed. Felix is probably more ready.

I like it- but would still have Talakai at the expense of Puru / Burns.

Takakai still has another 3 years in him easy.

Would rather he stay

2026

Tommy and AFB are my starters

Talakai, Toby, Kaufusi, Calquhoun bench

Hohepa 18th man

Think Burns will sign elsewhere

Tuks, Felix and McCulloch game time off bench when injuries or suspensions, to keep developing them
