I think signing Talagi makes sense in the context of Luai leaving. I love our hard-working team but you need just a touch of unpredictability with the ball. Talagi has a bit of that flair that we'll be losing with Luai and I think the club has recognised that as valuable in the right doseage.
Imo we get him much improved in D before long. Give him a position to focus on, improve his fitness and learning from the best defensive half in the best defensive system in the game. It'll be a whole different story than Parra, where he was shuffled around positionally, worked under Barrett in a basket case of a team/club. We've seen our club turn around players with defensive issues over and over this decade, no reason to think he'll be any different. Whether that's round 1 or a bit later is the only question for me.
