Tallyn Da Silva, hailed as a promising young hooker in the NRL, has recently transitioned from the Wests Tigers to the Parramatta Eels, a decision he expressed he was "happy" to make.
Da Silva, who faced competition from Api Koroisau at the Tigers, felt it was time for him to secure a starting role in the league.
Wests CEO Shane Richardson supported his decision by allowing Da Silva to explore options with rival teams.
After turning down offers from both the Newcastle Knights and the Manly Sea Eagles, Da Silva is excited to represent Parramatta.
He reflected on his move, stating, "Leaving the club was the best thing.
An opportunity has arisen and I've taken it with both hands.
I'm happy to be [with the Eels]." Despite initially believing he would remain with the Tigers long-term, Da Silva found it increasingly difficult to play behind Koroisau and is now eager to embrace his new chapter.
