OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[upthetigers]

Just noticed he posted about the Panthers being premiers on his Instagram. Not a good look.

Does anyone know what's doing with James Tamou this season (2022)? Is he done? Didn't see him in the pre-season training photos from today.

Personally I hope he gracefully exits, we have some seriously talented young forwards who need opportunities and I'd hate to see him take up a spot in the 17 to play his 25 minutes.

I haven’t seen Hastings either but I’ve seen plenty of Gildart, maybe I’ve just skimmed through and missed Hastings

James-T will continue to be a positive influence on the squad in this his final year of NRL.

He still has a presence around our club that is a very young squad.

Hastings and Peachey bring a lot of experience. Twal and Leilua are well seasoned now. Tamou seems like a nice guy but his on-field contributions don't really warrant his presence every week.

Injuries happen, I don't have any problem with him sticking around and playing a depth role off the bench. He wasn't as awful last year as some like to make out. Still a solid presence in the middle and knows what he's doing, just doesn't have the same drive through the line that he used to in attack.

Punt him

"Madge said he has some thinking to do before round 1 before he names the captain"

Tamou is so incredibly fake.
Even with a tigers hat on, he isn't 1 of us.

Never was, never will be..

Did he really say that?! Any video or audio? I wanna hear.

 

[tiger_one]

Contradicted by Tyrone Peachy interview after full time - said there's different defensive structures.

Yeah he did. Was embarrassing to hear.
Said Madge changed nothing but the players did reflecting and have changed.

Pretty uninspiring. On one hand you can say “its just a trial”. Because the same way you can’t put stock into trial wins, you also can‘t really take much away from losses. Having said that, tonight wasn’t much different to what we saw for all of 2021. And I haven’t been enthusiastic at all in the off season, so nothing has changed my stance.

Peachey wasn't here last year tho???

Yeah and also pre season interviews from other players said defensive and attacking structures changed.

You could see our starting forwards would hit outside in and we had 2-3 high up often. Lets see if that can last for a season.

Our attack we can’t rate tonight.
No Hastings or Laurie = structure will be vastly different when they play next week.

Would it really surprise you? He’s not exactly enthusiastic about his role at this club. He’s spinning his wheels till he can go back to the foot of the mountains at the end of the season to take up a cushy off field role.
