Agreed - Talanoa isnt perfect but hes a very good player - what player is 100% in all areas? If he was he'd be on top dollar in the NRL so i really dont get peoples critisism
Player of the yr 2014 in our awards
2015 had some stand out momens. .magic hatrick a good 1. But it was at the end of the yr. From centre due to injuries I really realised his worth. We were poop. Yet he was the only back who looked or in fact did anything
Then before last season was chatting with a guy about Talanoa. Both agreed how massive he was to what we do. 1st game came. We discussed the match and we said 'how good was Talanoa man' ..come the end of the year we must have said that after at least 10 games minimum. Born out by him being our top try scorer..2nd and 3rd buster..clean breaker in a high performing team. Also usually top 2 or 3 in the two lesser known stats of penalties won and fast play of the balls won in the whole league.
I also remember a post match interview with radders. Guy asked him about Talanoa. He said the biggest compliment he could pay him was he'd had a couple of opposition coaches say how they have special tactics for him specifically. I wouldn't swap him for many others for sure. He'd be good in any team but he's tailor made for this hull team
Can't help yourself.
