From what I've read the deal Richo put forward originally was a good one, offer Knights Tallyn for the remainder of the year in return for us getting KPP immediately. Tallyn gets game time, Knights plug a hole and so do we.

You'd think this would be a good deal for both of us. I like the Tigers trying to do a deal like this.

You never know whats going on behind the scenes but the media reports dont help these young guys, Galvin reportedly didnt like being 2nd fiddle to a 4 time premiership winner, now Tallyn doesn't want to be second fiddle to a 3 time premiership winner.

This is what I don't get. It doesn't make sense does it.

It's going to suck if we lose TDS, but there also has to be a line drawn in the sand that you can't demand things from our club by threatening to leave.
I really don't understand why we are letting him negotiate for an immediate release. He is only 20, he can play NSW cup next year and be backup for Api. I don't see how it benefits us in any way letting him go early.

Who is next in our hooker pipeline after Da Silva? I know we have the NSW Cup hooker, but do we have other juniors who look good?
Jared Haywood is highly rated he plays #9 in our Jersey Flegg team, just about the best player every week

edit - in the viral video where Galvin drops the ball over the line in schoolboy footy, Haywood is the one knocking it out of his hands

I think if they are trying to keep TDS, last night was not the way I would have done it.
But in saying that, Api is showing why he should be retained at all costs, imo.

Listening to the press conference it sounded like Benji was asked if TDS will still be at the club after July 30 and he said he didn't know.

Did I get that right or was that about something else?

I don't get it.

Why would you want to retain Api for 2028?

You don't think he'll be past it by then?

Mainly because I think he's the smartest bloke in the team.

I think he will, it will certainly need to be managed, but TDS was going to be that person to do it. But if he's going, I believe we have options, Hope and Haywood (coming through), I want TDS to stay, but he is not anywhere near Api's level, imo.
