Talagi doesn’t even need to be as good as Drown to be a star. Drown is one of the best players in the NRL.
Guy, f**k knows where you are coming up with this. He sucked this season. He has average speed and horrible ball skills. Get on my page.

Talagi only has higher potential than Dylan Brown is we all conveniently ignore Talagi's defensive inadequacies. Penrith can be sure (good) opposition coaches won't be ignoring them.

His speed is good but he needs weapons. It's frustrating watching him step back in but we never have an overlap so a lot of times it be a hospital pass or a Shaun Lane drop.

Talagi's defense and pace are nowhere near Dylbro and I wouldn't expect it to be at his age.

You can coach defense but you can't coach pace.

We’ve already seen what he’s capable of. He should become more consistent with age, and behind a stronger pack he will get more opportunities to shine while having fewer opportunities to f**k up under pressure.

Dylan's good. Just been in a shit side the last 2yrs. Blaize potentially has more attacking ability.

Yep......Look how good Moses is going, he is now an "elite" half. Just won an origin series with 2 outstanding games....

Anyhow how good was Moses in 2018? Ok, but not great. Not many thought, he would become the player his is now.

Moses was 24 in 2018. Drown is 24. I say Drown is a better player (or at least on par) now than Moses was in 2018.........

Takes time and experience to become a quality, elite half......

I don't think so, I think Brown has him covered over any distance.


Yes agree with this.

Blaize is so slow it's not funny.. Not sure what his coaches over the year have had him doing..

Good luck to the kid you can see glimpses of what he can become and with Cleary's coaching him will be great ..

(Something I said another former Eels player should have done when he toured Panthers..... Sanders!)

@hindy111 your man Mo Alameddine has signed a 3 year deal. #cantlosethemall

I picked him as the next outside back with potential, and I’ve barely seen him play. You need to watch what the club is doing with these guys. They know better than us who has potential. Playing reserve grade at 19 is a good sign. You don’t need to watch him play or talk to his dad to know that.

Yes I am sure you picked him first.

Parramatta Junior League withdraws from Central West Conference​

The Parramatta Junior Rugby League has today advised the NSW Rugby League and the Canterbury Bankstown District Junior Rugby League that it will withdraw its affiliated clubs from the Central West Conference in 2025.
The NSW Rugby League established the Central West Conference in 2022 at a time when Parramatta and Canterbury Bankstown were wanting to expand the number of teams in various divisions from the age groups of U13s and older in both males and females within their districts.

Parramatta Junior Rugby League Chair, Mark Jenkins said the decision to withdraw from the Central West Conference was based on a review undertaken into the benefits of the Competition.
“The Parramatta District has experienced significant growth in its juniors since our strategic review in 2022. It is clear to the Board and our affiliated Clubs that our joint initiatives to grow the game in our catchment are having an impact across the board.
"The growth in player numbers, the increasing number of Parramatta Junior Rugby League players in representative teams coupled with the success of our teams in this year's Battle of the West highlight the momentum of our Competition.
"Following a review into the conference system and the feedback from our affiliated Clubs, we have taken the decision to withdraw from Central West Competition and focus on developing a strong Parramatta Junior Rugby League catchment.
"We thank the Canterbury Bankstown District Junior Rugby League for the partnership over the last 3 years and wish them well in the future," said Mr Jenkins.
The Parramatta Junior Rugby League will begin consultation with their affiliated Clubs in the coming days regarding the 2025 competition structure.
