If Connor Tracey & Ikuvalu are back available for selection this week I hate to say it but I really think I'd prefer to keep Talakai back at centre this week. Give him another week, if he goes well again maybe we'll see centre is his better position.

Sounds like Ikuvalu likely miss another 5-7 weeks

Tracey however I still don’t know what the story is, could be next week could be 7 weeks too. If they are unsure no need to rush him and I agree could start off back in the 14… or the 16 as the case seems to be

I don't know where I heard just a week or 2 for those 2, obviously Talakai will go in centre again then. I'll look forward to seeing him then. Hopefully we'll get them back as cover asap though.

Talakai trampled an Origin centre in good form. Gagai is way better than anything Tigers have. I'm not moving him if vintage ET is available let alone Iku or Tracey.

Guess we finally found our true Poly ET

He needs to be on the field 80 mins, if that's in the second row then Wade, Nikora, Wilton need to fight it out for the other spot. I don't want Talakai relegated back to a bench middle in this sort of form.

If it's in the centres long term then Tracey needs to go to the bench & Ika is first in line for depth. It might actually be good to give Talakai a spell on the bench with Tracey as cover.

When we come up against better backlines Talakai will have his defensive work cut out for him, might need a breather if we want him to give us his current output with his carries and still get in position defensively and make his tackles

Apparently Fitz said he has to find a place in the starting side for Talakai. I'm sure he said the same about Tracey, so that just leaves a spot in the forwards

I do mate but was beaten a few times in defence, no shame in that as Gagai can do that.

Would just rather him in a bit tighter in defence, hence second row.

As I said though, he needs to start. That's non negotiable now.

Yeah his defense could be a worry against the more quicker and elusive centres. Definitely 2nd row is his spot

Good problem to have but I'd hate to be fitz trying to squeeze wade, sifa, teig and nikora into 2 starting spots

Are you taking the piss? Or just never saw ET? Or retarded?

Keep talakai at centre if Tracey is back and make him the bench utility. James roberts won’t be able to lay a hand on him.
