Tallyn Da Silva

[Ohgeez]

I think Simpkin has some up side still ,but Talin is nearly the finished product ,and Croker who was never a proper 9 in any case ,cannot be left in that position i don't think.
For me Croker maybe has potential to be a good 13 (good D should have enough passing as an X 7 and enough speed,certainly quick er that Jake) ,but he is not a serviceable 9 .A fact thats been proven by Simpkin even though he is not top shelf .
As other s have said we have a few coming up from the young guys and TBH from what I have seen of Simpkin I think we should spend the cash on a top line FR that Simpkin can run onto the ball at pace unlike what Croker has shown to be capable of .

I also like Simpkin but he is probably more of a ‘good back up’ type player rather than starter. Da Silva has been killing it the past month in NSW Cup according to tigers fans, definitely a upgrade on anything we currently have

Has been given permission to look around immediately. Was close to going to the knights but his manager asked for permission to speak to other clubs so i’m guessing he doesn’t want to end up there. Interesting to see what happens considering these rumours from earlier in the year. Id say dogs would be favourites considering his best friend is Galvin & they have tapped Mahoney on the shoulder but maybe we are a chance?

Why arent we chasing him, man we get left in the blocks for sure

I don't see us signing anyone unless they are stuck in NSW cup and looking to cement a NRL spot.
We are a basket case and will struggle to sign anyone unless we pay overs, especially the last 2 months.
If we were trying to sign Fogerty now he would seriously weighing up offers elsewhere.

TDS would be a great get but given recent developments I would say we are 1000 to 1 to land him.

If the rumour was true by the creator of the thread maybe we are chasing him 🤷‍♂️

Well luckily for us TDS has been stuck in reserve grade the last month & wants to leave to cement himself a NRL spot. The only time he gets in top grade is with injuries at Tigers currently

Da Silva would be a great get.

Straight in as starter

 

[Nike]

Future immortal for sure, if he joins us that is.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Yay, another Tigers reserve grader!

 

[Rocky]

what a horrid few months for the Tigers losing Galvin and likely da Silva now.

would love to dump our piles of steaming turd at the 9 position and get this kid in.

True but at least he’s been stuck behind one of the best no.9’s in the comp,unlike the other Tiger rejects Manly have signed,who were beaten to their positions by witches hats and tackling bags

I suspect there are quite a few on here who’ve already contracted TDS.

Just say you’ve never seen him play & have no idea next time 🤣

Unfortunately hasn’t been reported in the press, more one of those things you just hear down the corso.

Context: said to be leaving the tigers, managed by Mario Tartak who has a presence in the club already, Manly area of deficiency at hooker (we have plenty but they are all poor).

Didn’t Manly de-Tartakify?

I know that maybe one or two of his players are left at Manly? Surely though, after all that hoohaa a couple of years ago, they would not countenance a ‘Mario Trojan Horse’ approach back into the club?

More to the point is Tallyn related to Howard?😉
