Official Siosifa Talakai

[bort]

I'd have to watch the replay too. Not sure.

I have no idea what you're trying to say in the second sentence haha.

Because Talakai is a ****ing unit contacts on him are being ignored that would be penalties in other circumstances.

That if Talakai shoulder charged Garrick after he passed as opposite to what happened in Manly game it's be a penalty and likely suspension.
Or if Talakai ran through a half after the whistle (not exact reverse of what happened as it was Lodge not a half) likely a suspension also.

It's not a big deal, just a bit biased against forwards.

 

[Gumby]

or suspension. Lol

touche haha

Yeah completely agree with that. Apologies your wording had me confused.

 

[Sparkles]

SJ got up smiling after the early steamroll!

It was his last happy moment out there

 

[Gumby]

Hope this bloke re signs

I think he will. In all of his interviews, he always seemed grateful for Cronulla to give hime a second chance. When both sides have good intentions, there is always a middle ground.

Unpopular opinion but I prefer this bloke as a second rower

I actually like him as bench impact.
Teams seem to have sussed him out as a centre and once we try (and fail) the crash ball route with him we look lost

Same but he’s been killing it at centre so you & I look stupid at present.

Not sure if he's been killing it lately.

 

[Bundy Shark]

Not sure if he's been killing it lately.

Last 2 weeks prior to today, ran for 160m, whilst he hasn’t played like he was up against Harper he hasn’t been too shabby

 

[The Punisher]

Not sure if he's been killing it lately.

Hasnt 'killed it' since half time against Manly
Certainly didnt kill it this week, or last week against Warriors, or the week b4 against Staggs when he got owned

 

[HaroldBishop]

Harsh judges, he's playing pretty well. Far more involved than most centres in the game

 

[Soon I Hope]

After the first half against the eagles he was always going to be heavily marked for a few games, then Wade returned and stuffed him getting any good early ball.

That is a massive factor as well and one that everyone (bar Fitz it seems) knew would happen

Yeah, sometime earlier someone talked about having a plan B. We need that now. We need multiple games/plans so we can keep the others teams missing*. If I can think that I am sure Fitzy does too and more.

Maybe this is the growing pains, but not competing and losing hurts the most.

* Edit Note: I meant guessing.

I don’t like losing but I can’t cop not competing, f’n stop reading your own press.

This team or bunch of players are no where near the level of Panthers or Storm players who are the only ones that are entitled to read their own press cause they are that damn good & they get it done week after week, we sporadically play well & then appear to put the cue in the rack, Manly game as the prime example

Heavily marking him creates space for Ronnie and Teig

I was like most of you; waiting for Talakai to get clean early ball to allow him to hit the line at speed; Raiders jammed him to nullify this - Will Kennedy was possible the missing “option in motion.” to take eyes off Talakai.

It may be we need Moylan / Nico & Kennedy on the park together - take one out & it turns into a &&^ show in attack - not sure.

Yeh we are a one trick pony ATM.

Even that fan spread we did near the end of the first half looked slow and like they were going through the motions.
