It's ridiculously OTT. Most backrowers would've had a field day given the ball, time, space & defensive cluster**** Sifa was presented with.

2 games don't make a career, some of the comparisons are overboard

See how he goes defending against someone with decent footwork
He's up to four now isn't he?

Most backrowers don't have the footwork and clean passing he has shown playing "OOT" consistently. He's not just banging and crashing which is what makes it all the more impressive.
Although I agree many would have still done a fair bit of damage in that first half vs Manly

Fitz mentioned today how the people inside him need credit as well

That's why I thought moylan did so well giving him the ball at the right time, plenty of halves eyes would have lit up and over ran it with that much space, give it early to the bulldozer

Lot of pressure on Talakai this week with rhe hype around him following his display against one of the poorest defensive centres in the NRL - whilst not decrying his performance in any way shape or form, he has to back it up this week against a 'world class' centre in Staggs

Could also be the difference between an origin jersey or not.

Massivly so.
He made a mockery out of Gagai in round 4, and can now well and truly stake a claim for a Blues shirt.
Just got to hope that we (as a team) dont overplay that hand too much tomorrow night and give it to him expecting 200+ m in 40mins - but itd be awesome if he did lol

Happy for him to ease things back and spread his 200m, 2 tries and 3 assists across the 80 this week.

Well Riccio would know.

Interesting that we only signed him last April but wanted to keep give him another contract.

I think he’ll stay on an upgraded deal. He seems to acknowledge how he threw away opportunities when he was a kid and seems unlikely to want to mess with what’s working him being at the Sharks.
