Talagi is only a year older and was playing Flegg at 18. Then went straight to NSW cup at 19. Talataina couldnt even make flegg at 18 and so far hasn't played NSW cup at 19.Alot similar to Joash.
a little more evasive and has nice hands.. Defends well...
Comparing him to Blaize in Ball/Flegg he is probably better.
This off season I hope he as well as the other options all put their hands up.

I hope Talataina makes it, but Talagi is a shit mile in front of him with age comparison (can't even be compared as Talagi was always playing at a higher level at a younger age) ! Like Talataina is 20 next year, and he aren't anywhere near what Talagi is producing this year at 20 in the NRL.
However he is going ok, playing Flegg at 19 is pretty good!
It does as you are comparing a 19 year in ball (Lorenzo) with a 18 year old Ball (Talagi).Not trying to be rude but this means Jack shit..
Players development varies from player to player as well as from coach to coach.
As I said comparing the 2 in Ball Lorenzo is a better player.

Compare a 19 year Lorenzo with a 19 year old Talagi, Talagi is shit load better player.....can't even compare, Talagi is competing against NRL players, Lorenzo, 19 year old boys..,
But those players are irrelevant because you are comparing Talagi with Talataina, and Talagi is a mile ahead at the same age. He is only a year older than Talataina and already played 7 games in reserve grade and 33 in the NRL. Talataina has zero and zero. Matt Hunter is ahead of him and Papalii is ahead of Hunter. Blaize Talagi is ahead of all of them, and is a year younger than Papalii and Hunter.No I am comparing a ball player against a ball player as thats where Lorenzo has just finished up and watching them both unlike yourself who is just looking at their ages.... And as I said Loreno > Blaize in Ball..
For the rest it's a fat deeeeeeeeeer of course as Blaize was rushed into the NRL side...
Do I need to start whipping off players who started playing in the NRL at 20 and under and disappeared after a few games and are never wases?

Blaize development this year since early rounds to now is quite amazing. Same goes for that other kid C.Mclean.
Blaize already has more attacking skills then Dylan. And starting to put on some big hits in defense. His got a decent boot on him also. Some of his bombs last night where top shelf.
I agree I definitely think he made the right decision for his development. McLean is a good one too. They will be very good players over the next season and a half.Blaize development this year since early rounds to now is quite amazing. Same goes for that other kid C.Mclean.

But not NRL or even reserve grade because Lorenzo Talataina isn't there.Edited..
Go watch some footy you 2
I do, a hell of a lot.......Edited..

I think it’s pretty clear that Hunter at 5/8 could be a real option for next year. The kid looks really good. More natural than Joash playing at 5/8. Hunter has really come out of nowhere.
I think so he looks more of natural compared to Joash. But happy for Joash to get a fair crack at it this year. He deserves his go.Young, as well - he's only 22 by December, 2026.
I think he's more promising than Joash at 5/8.
