He will take Tagos spot surely?

Neither can defend.....but seriously for what we are paying him it's a spine position or bust

Tago will be fine, in for a great season, that’s my prediction.

I really hope so, his best is very f**king good.

Aren’t we only paying him $400,000? Thats not a high salary for a centre or winger if that’s where he ends up.

I tend to agree, I didn’t really see the performances to match the hype.

Hope we’re wrong and he develops into a superstar.

I will never rule out a 19 year old

BUT

Ivan wants defence 1st. Talagi struggles there

McLean is younger and in our system for longer so rightfully higher up.

Tago is locked up for a few years

We aren't going to pay a winger that much.

Cole despite his minor injuries he seems to find every few weeks. Is locked up until 2027, has played far more 6 in all grades.

Hopefully Blaize is right to play NSW Cup next week and can fight his way into the side in the back end of the year

I thought it was closer to 600k

maybe Cole and Talagi are both seen as equal talents where Ivan and co wanted another Burton v Luai scenario to partner Cleary.

Schneider's ceiling appears to be reached - he's the better defender than Cole or Talagi, but he offers little in attack whereas the other 2 have something to offer.

Cole & Talagi competing for that 6 jersey is only a good thing to us, its sounds better than Cole v Schneider
