Rumours and Stuff

How about in nsw cup?? Like a proper development club would....

There's no way a player with his ability, will turn down a golden opportunity to play his preferred position in the top grade at 6 with Penrith, where there is a vacant jersey.

If his road wasn't blocked here, he most probably would have stayed

We were dumb enough to agree to 2 year deal with a player option.

He never wanted to stay here.... should have told him to sign a three year deal or move on back when he was in ball.

His road to the number 6 might be blocked right now but that doesn't mean Dylan still going to be here In 2026. Blaize could have played cup all this year and centre in 25.

But whatever, you asked for essentially a one year deal it tells me you're not that keen on being an eel. We don't need guys like that here.

But where do you play him? Forget about wing and especially fullback as he doesn't have the pace. He's ok at centre, but really he's a 6. Penrith had the 6 vacant so there was little hope he'd wait behind Dylan.

That's bullshit. The club had already said they are not sure his best position. Don't pretend you know what it is.
Can't keep them all.

I'm confident that Penrith will develop Talagi into a borderline elite player, but so far in his career, he's shown nothing to suggest is a must-keep.

He's not a better centre than Lomax, or Penisini.

He's not a better winger than Sivo, or Simonsson.

He's not a better fullback than Gutherson, or Iongi.

And he's not a better 5/8 than Brown.

J.Mclean and C.Mclean is not a better centre than Alamoti or Tago yet was a must keep.
Due to their potential.

We churn out the same bullshit as sTory every time a jnr who looks half decent comes along.

Perhaps the simple answer is, interviewed by Ivan Cleary and Matt Cameron and provided with a clear plan for your future development, then interviewed by the Eels equivalent. End of.

It wasn't a fair fight, doesn't help he played in 4 different positions in his first handful of games. The club had no idea what his best spot was and he has been in our system for how long???

Let's hope Guymer,Tuivati,Brazel have NRL careers. The sg ball winning side was a good crop.

In 2022 he wasnt old enough.

In 2023 he was Captain and 5/8 of Australian Schoolboys.


One year later he played a whole season of 5/8 in NRL without ever playing Jersey Flegg or NSW Cup.

That can't be a good thing for him though. Will be interesting to see if he continues to progress, or if he ends up being Luke Brooks 2.0
