#1 RAYMOND TALIMALIE

ATHLETICALLY GIFTED WITH NIMBLE FEET AND DECENT SPEED, TALIMALIE ADDED A NEW DIMENSION TO
HIS GAME LAST YEAR AND WAS DESERVINGLY REWARDED BY BEING NAMED THE FOX MEMORIAL
PREMIERSHIP PLAYER OF THE YEAR.

SMALL IN STATURE BUT STINGING IN DEFENCE, THAT ALLOWS HIM TO PLAY ACROSS THE HALVES OR AT
HOOKER. THE MANGERE EAST PLAYMAKER WAS CALLED UP TO THE WARRIORS’ NSW CUP SIDE
REGULARLY LAST YEAR AND SHOULD FEATURE AGAIN AT SOME POINT IN 2016. TALIMALIE WAS ALSO
NAMED THE NZRL DOMESTIC PLAYER OF THE YEAR, SO IT’S HARD TO ARGUE AGAINST HIM TOPPING THIS
LIST.
