Have not observed much positive footage of Talau with the Tigers so far to make me have too much optimism about him.Was fantastic in the trials, but I was pretty disappointed with his NSW Cup form. Talau is certainly an upgrade on him.
It seems to be the way everyone worms out of contracts now. I'm not saying there isn't anything to it on this occasion but everyone just uses the homesick/mental health card whenever they fancy a move. Contracts don't seem to be worth anything
I went to England years ago, after a month I felt hugely (home)sick ... moved to Italy and travelled between France and Turkey ... man I felt great ... just sayingI must admit (and without knowing details on individual cases) that I sometimes smirk when I read that some player has gone to the UK and is now homesick.
So they've gone from 1 English speaking country to another, culturally on the same spectrum and the only difference is the weather? Buy some long johns and harden up!
Well...the weather and the bonus that they're on the doorstep of Europe and everything it has to offer.
We're all different I guess.

I’m not.We're all different I guess.
Spot on @Isz.To be fair to the kid (and he is a kid) he is from up that way and it is a decent move to be away from your family at that age.

It does amaze me when so many people seem to discount the fact that most of the players we love to watch are all fairly young and have had what could be described as a less than worldly level of life experience

Please GE ,you cannot be comparing your culturally gifted mindset to those unethically, hedonistic meatheads.I must admit (and without knowing details on individual cases) that I sometimes smirk when I read that some player has gone to the UK and is now homesick.

Speed and talent has proven to overcome the size factor by many talented playersI was very close to Myers when he came over to say ‘hi’ to someone in the crowd after Flegg played at Brookie recently, and he actually looked rather small of build - especially for an NRL player. i had thought he was built, based on a pic when he first came to the club… but not the case. Didn’t look close to being big enough for first grade, anyway.
Probably because they are transitioning from Arthur to MarthaMate ... the modern generation get home sick moving from Curl Curl to Freshwater .. and they literally have no idea whether they are arthur or matha
Speaking of MarthaProbably because they are transitioning from Arthur to Martha![]()
