Tallyn Da Silva

[Mark from Brisbane]

Does anyone think we are really a serious chance of getting this fella?

He was having a conversation I think with Jurbo at the end of the game , so not just a “ shake hands better luck next time “ type conversation. It was still going when the camera panned off to something else.

That , and the Arthur to the Knights almost confirms it.

I think it's funny, the conjecture over how much we're offering him. These are the same people questioning why we don't sign any fast young forwards with potential on minimum wage... It's because they cost much more than minimum wage!

Either you develop them, and keep them on minimum wage (e.g. Navale, Laiafi), or you need to pay overs to uproot them. So here, we are paying overs to actually get someone with decent potential, and people are annoyed???

Some people are never happy...

Like I said, sometimes it's better to let LOUDMOUTHED BLOWHARDS talk rubbish & let them dig a hole for themselves.

Mate for some here the management and coaching of this club will never be good enough. And that doesn’t just include the current regime.

Once they are performing at FG level they will no longer accept minimum wage. They will either push for a contract upgrade or leave.

I too laugh , if I had a $1 for every time our “ lack of a decent hooker “ has been mentioned on here I’d be a millionaire.

Sure this kids not “ Harry Grant “ ( yet) but at 20 he has heaps of potential.

I’ll be stoked if we get him.

If it is for the Money he will come to Manly under Seibold
If it for becoming a better player under a Better coach he will go else where

 

[Brookie1973]

Maybe some people think he is not much of an upgrade on Simpkin relative to the reported asking price, and think that money could be better spent elsewhere. Not everything is black and white for all those “having a laugh”.

TDS under a Great coach could be that Great Player
Under the underachieving Benjie it hard to judge on his potential
Benji was an Outstanding player but Ordinary coach according to the die hard west tigers fans forum and I agree

 

[smithy]

So we overspend and pay 600k on the the Wests Tigers back up hooker and make him the 6-8th highest paid hooker in the game, when he isn't any better than our own back up hooker ... then we will hear the complaints on here asking where all our salary cap has gone when we cant keep other players or strengthen the forwards. 🤷‍♂️

 

[Buck]

Can't imagine why a great young prospect would put his career in the hands of a club in turmoil with a coach whose future is uncertain. In better times yes, but not now.

Agreed. You have to laugh sometimes 😀

Oh, so now you’re all about what the majority thinks instead of independent thought.

Gee whiz, after all your motivational waffle posts, I would have thought belief in one’s own convictions was what you were all about.

Never took you for a sheep mate, but seems I was wrong.

His options are Tigers, Eels, Knights and Cowboys - as much as it will disappoint you and not fit into your narratives, Manly are his best option.

Ask yourself the same question, I was replying to your dumb post

Disappoint me ?
Only Manly Loses and the Underwhelming Siebold disappoints me

The options
Seibold
Benjie
Payton
Obrien
all are under the pump to save their jobs for a good reason
Ryles IMO has the making of a better mentor than the one's above

Looks promising but 600 k for some still unrealized potential seems quite a bit off the mark .
T D S definitely has some good nip and a smooth passing game , not to sure that i have seen much confirmation that his defence is rated on the better level yet
But a Junior S O O rep apparently so that should count for something
And still have Froggy and Simpkin on the books for next season so not sure how that is going to be reconciled with at this stage .
Would be more then a useful signing but also has to be on the realistic side contract value wise

Can we all just agree Croker is not the answer ? How much evidence is needed. He’s not good enough and is getting bashed every week. If he’s in our plans then we have the wrong plan. The fact we are chasing the Tiger kid suggests they have finally realized the obvious, 5 years too late.

Croker , upside , zero minus
Simpkin, upside , going very well but needs a backup , work in progress , needs to be kept.
Da Silva, upside , sky’s the limit , could be exceptional , but work in progress.

I’d choose a 1 -2 between the last 2 anytime over a 1-2 between the top 2.

Did a journo confirm he wants $600k or is this just a rumour?
