Parramatta Eels Juniors

[Obscene Assassin]

As others have said, they prefer to keep the summer squads quiet so as to limit the poaching though it hardly makes much of a difference anymore. Just what they have always done. It is more likely they will announce the squads late January next year when they finalise them.

Yep all good

Kayla is at the dogs now

Was but has been named in the 2025 Panthers TG side.

 

[T.S Quint]

This Kayla chick gets around.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

She's the Peter Taateo of girls rugby league

Big Win by the under 19s

Ryda and Fletcher scored

Sangalang and Coinakis went ok


Commentator said all 4 are at the Eels next year so don't care what their contracts at other clubs say!

Dylan Brown is still at the club and a much better player. Why would Talagi wait around?

Talagi has significant higher potential than Dylan Brown.

Talagi has significant higher potential than Dylan Brown.

Dylan Brown was a strong defender at the same age. In fact he played in the spine in a team that played in the finals. Talagi mostly played centre in a team that competed for the spoon.

Talagi might be great one day but Drown already is.

You can just see that Talagi has better raw traits such as speed and athleticism. Brown is a good first grader. Talagi has the potential to be an elite first grader.

You sure you’re serious, so you’re suggesting a possible decent 5/8 will end up better than probably the best defensive 5/8 in the NRL and at least equal offensive hole runner. Too many people downgrade Dylan due to his somewhat casual demeanour, not his ability.

Than Brown? No chance.

DB is certainly a great defensive 5/8 but to my eyes he is a bit slow and not a particularly good play maker. He had a good season in 2023.
I am not sure if Talagi is best suited to fullback, centre or 5/8. Damn he has some upside though. I am just giving an opinion on what I see on the field.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Can Talagi even kick......anyhow for a poor play maker Drown had 18 TA this year which was 8th best.....

Not a chance. Drown is super quick. Talagi isn’t. You really think Drown isn’t elite already? The best defensive half in the comp, plus his running game is on par with the likes of Cleary and Munster.

ffs

Yeah! And once JR gets under his hood and reprograms some of his settings we'll get to see what he's capable of.

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.

Panthers wouldn't sign him if didn't see him as a future star. Their scouting is to good.

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

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.
