Days after it emerged the prized youngster was Penrith-bound for 2025, his team turned in a great showing in Auckland.
Wantaway Parramatta teenage star Blaize Talagi has shown Eels fans what they’ll be missing next year, starring in a surprise 30-20 defeat of the Warriors in Auckland.
The 12th-placed Warriors remain three points adrift of the top eight, with their finals rivals still to play. Joey Lussick doubled the Eels’ advantage before the Warriors hit back through Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, with Shaun Johnson involved in the build-up in his return from injury.The fullback scored one try and assisted another, but perhaps his most impressive moment was an incredible one-on-one strip on Dallin Watene-Zelezniak when the Warriors winger looked certain to score in the dying minutes.
