Well I think we'd all hope that.

I think all questions over Talanoa have been due to his injury record not ability. Everybody knows how talented he is.

What is this injry record though..It's nothing overly dramatic. If he plays most of the rest of season he'll be pushing 100 games in 4 years. Not really that concerning. Not when weighed up v what he provides

Funny how quickly people's opinions can slap them in the face..I've seen on here connor was a nothing signing and pointless-been invaluable in the cover he's provided
Carlos would struggle to get in the team,even called poor by 1 or 2..And from last year he isn't a centre-looks sublime at his best. Everything you want in a centre. I'd probs have him in the mix for player of the season..Kelly obvs but carlos among our consistent best barring 2 consecutive stinkers(team as a whole)
Talanoa for me as I've probably banged on about loads is massive for us and massively under rated by the fan base
Even Mini got huffs n puffs from some
What I'm saying really is what a great balanced squad Radders has assembled and really does deserve some credit for some truly astute signings

Get Carlos signed up for longer

I was one of those who undervalued Talanoa, we had a debate about it on here earlier in the season, have to say you was right and I was wrong. Playing really well and really glad he is signed for next year, particularity with Fonua going.

With it looking likely that this could be Ellis last year, do you think putting a contract to Savelio would be good business? He is a pretty destructive runner and isn't fully developed yet, very young, and combined with the return of Hadley next year, could see is with a high quality, young back row.

I am hoping Turgut will develop as a regular for next season.
Not really seen anything from him to get excited about but has the pace and build to be similar to Bateman
