Blaize Talagi made an eye-catching debut in the centres on Sunday, but will join Dylan Brown in the halves on Monday due to Mitchell Moses’ foot injury.
Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has hailed Blaize Talagi’s toughness after handing the local junior the No.6 jersey for the Easter Monday clash against Wests Tigers.
“He’s a kid learning his trade, he’ll get things wrong, but he’ll move on and keep going with the game, and that’s what I like about him,” Arthur told this masthead. “He also played all his junior reps at five-eighth, and it was only last year we played him in the centres and at fullback to have a look. When I spoke to him today about being at No.6, he was excited and couldn’t get the smile off his face.”Talagi, like Galvin, is tall and powerful, and got the nod to be the Australian Schoolboys’ five-eighth in 2022 ahead of Queensland sensation and South Sydney flyer Jye Gray.
Moses’ heroics were topped only by those of Bryce Cartwright, who suffered a rib injury in the opening exchanges.
