One has to go ... who ?

Our backs played well today but lets remember this is effectively a reserve grade game.

These guys need to do it consistently and then at NRL level before we start shipping off Garrick, Koula, Talau and the like.

Has Garrick performed consistently in the centres at NRL level though? Sure you could probably say the same for Koula and Talau but at least they’ve played the position for longer. Just mildly annoying to see this strong backline depth we have and yet Garrick is the first picked centre of all of them.

Willing to give the bloke another chance after an off season to improve but for a team in what is essentially a win now position with DCE at 36, I don’t know if we should really be persisting with players learning new positions

In an attacking sense he was in the top half a dozen centres in the comp.

Defence needs work.

But this is not a Garrick centre/wing chat just a lets not get over hyped after one understrength trial situation.

I am becoming a big fan of tommy Talau ... he is not the one I would bench ...

Just looking at the pics of our 2025 Season Launch on the Eagles website. There is one pic there of Haumole and Tommy Talau (and Simkins). Got to say TT is almost same size as Haumole. I could not help thinking (potentially) what a great backrow combination that might make. Also solves our surplus backline "issue". Love to see him have a stab at that!!!

How is Garrick still in the centers, what a joke!
