@tigertownsfs agree fine with talau going, just need some coming the other way
George Williams has just signed an extension with Warrington until November 2026
DT reporting Sea Eagles on the verge of signing Tommy Talau, trying to get him immediately.
why?
I guess Benji isn’t offering him a contract. A shame we didn’t want to give him the Melbourne for JAC
im getting the feeling Benji and sheens have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.
Unfortunately the evidence is mounting.
Sad state of affairs.
Had high hopes for this group and on paper they should be mid table proposition. But some questionable recruitment decisions have us where we are and where we probably will end up.
use the bye to go get Dean Hawkins

@jedi-tiger I was talking to a mate who’s a huge Souths fan and when I brought up tigers fans rating Hawkins, he legitimately laughed in my face and said he’s not much better than Wakeham.

So we've just lost a starting centre (Naden) for a spell with a shoulder injury. Talau is due back after the bye which would have been a good like-for-like, he's trained and played at right centre already.
But right now we are considering releasing Talau? If so, they really have no idea... maybe after Naden comes back it'd worth revisiting, but not until then.

The club believe that Naden will be back after the bye or worst case the game after that.
however I agree they would be leaving themselves very short in outside backs
@declan really lol have onoy seen 2 games of KOE withbhim this year he went ok. Think he is a bit unlucky club chose Ilias over him. The 4 nrl games he played for souths were pretty decent, he is an organising half where I don't think wakeham is.
Options are probably
Sezer
Dodd - but think Dodd will sign with Dogs
Flannagan ?
@declan I guess that’s why the club isn’t chasing him.
of those suggesting Hawkins how many games have you seen him play?

Jedi, we need someone better than Hawkins. OK in KOE isnt the standard we need.

Latu fainu anyone?
@tiger5150 he was touted as Reynolds replacement and they got Illias. Think Hawkins is first grade standard, he won't get a run at souths.
