Jamal Idris Vs Willie Talau

[bigboi22]

All you old time bulldogs fans will remember Willie Talau. He played centre for the dogs for what seemed like 8 years or so. How do you think Idris compares to Talau? They are both slow, strong centres that use their size, strength and determination to get an advantage over their opponent.

Who is better at their best? Talau or Idris?

Don't think we've seen idris' best yet but I'd have to say talau because he always seemed to step up against parra :P

 

[bigboi22]

He was a great defender too, unlike Idris.

Dude wtf idris is into his 2nd season lol

^and he's already better than Talau. Willie wasn't that good tbh. Now Idris v Vagana, that's a comparison worth having. Vagana would have it over him because he had agility and more pace. Idris is a steamroller but not as potent as Nigel.

Oh Willie Talau, one of my fave bulldog players of all time, used to love the guy lol

Also, its not a fair comparison, Idris just started and i dont think they are that similar, Idris is much more athletic then Willie was but i still love the guy

Dude wtf idris is into his 2nd season lol

How many seasons had Vagana had when he came to us though? Vagana was at his peek with us, barely did a thing after he left. Talau was a good centre, especially against the Broncos in 98. I will never forget the try he scored just after half time in the 98 GF that Harragan incorrectly ruled as a forward pass.

I think you have Willie Talau mixed up with Makasini Richter and Jamal Idris mixed up with Greg Inglis.

Jamal is no where near Willie Talau. Talau had it over Idris and probably still does in every department except being tall.

Idris has a very long way to go!!

atm talau >>>> daylight >>> idris

how can you compare someone who has just started pretty much to realise this potential, to someone who was a seasoned pro?

Jamal wont start to realise his potential until he muscles up imo

Who the fck is Willie Talau?

Willie Talau had more of a complete game. Idris is still a developing youngster.

Bad time to make a comparison.

hmmm im not really an old time bulldogs fan, so I think I might have to buy some DVD's and check out this Willie Talau guy. Sounds like he was an awesome player.

 

[Slippery]

Surely you're joking, Moe.

Surely you're joking, Moe.

What? No, I only really started following the dogs in around 04. Wasn't really big on footy before that.

 

[Slippery]

I know you started following in 04.

willie talau debuted in the 98 season, coming through the morebank club, and he had an immediate impact which provided great enthusiasm on our march to the 1998 GF. he had a great combination with rocket Rod silva that year.

i honestly, think that, talau, and ben harris were both better centre than idris.. vagana was our best by miles or atleast is matched now by our current centre josh morris

 

[Doga]

Willie Talau = Timana Tahu in defense (the hits he puts on). Joseph Tomane reminds me of Talau in attack only not as good.
