Agree. Watches his highlights in the 5/8 role and has alot talent. Bit of a switch fit the young fella but good luck to him
Im surprised tigers are playing talau in the centres - he was a very good five eight but I don't believe he has the speed for a centre. Long term a ball playing back rower maybe.

Who knew Willie is the Dragons Jersey Flegg coach?
I certainly didn't.. It's funny the connection the Dragon and Dogs have had over the years with players representing both clubs. Luke Pattern, the Morris's, Tim Lafai, James Graham, Billy Johnstone, Mick Potter, Jason Alchin, Tony Grimaldi etc..

Wondering if we have lost the Keebra connection with him?

Who knows, maybe we tried to keep him but he got a better offer or he may have wanted to leave anyhow. I'm not going to stress much about it.

Talau made nsw under 18s and Aust schoolboys last year so it's not like he came out of nowhere and no one heard of him until now, I think a lot of people are perhaps surprised with how quickly he's progressed
