OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[Spartan117]

Some of you guys are the biggest losers in the world. Imagine telling your kid not to play for the Tigers. I'd disown my kid if he played for another club.

Agreed.

I did threaten this when my eldest (7 y/o at the Time) wanted to follow his grand dad (my dad) and go for the Dragons.

It lasted less than an hour and he was back.

PS - If your Kids don't watch the games or are to young, do what I still do and Lie to them about our weekly results.

I've been a massive critic of Tamou since 'day 1'. However, the past couple of weeks he has really put in. I would offer him another year if he maintains this form over the next couple of months.

 

[batboy]

Exactly.

We're probably losing Mikaeke and can't get many signings through the door, so it all makes sense.

Blokes like Pole are top 30 Next year as well though yeah??

We hope .you just dont know how they handle the NRL grind week in week out...but its a punt ....and we have taken plenty of punts over the years....

 

[Blacknwhite]

I may be well alone here, and admit Tamou has been a flop (for the most part), though I really feel that he is the embodiment of our infectious culture problem... proof of it in fact!

Without Hastings spark, Tamou couldn't catch rhythm, like he was a peak soldier, missing the general.

Hastings needs a Tamou, as much as a Tamou needs a Hastings.

I believe we are in for a world of trouble losing both Leilua and Kuilagi next yr. Papalii isnt enough, I rate Seyfarth highly, but he also wont be enough. I feel this is a massive moment for our recruitment, and the kind of players that could change our culture.

Pole doesn't have the fitness for first grade.

 

[TieDye]

Pole doesn't have the fitness for first grade.

Yeah, not yet… patience key with young buck prop. Miller and he will both make grade

Not hope - he’s signed to top 30 next year isn’t he?

 

[batboy]

Pole doesn't have the fitness for first grade.

He’s got 6 months to get it,..
He’s signed to top 30 for 23-24 I believe

He’s not changing clubs again. Hopefully he’ll play for us on a modest $ yearly basis with a view to medical retirement possibly

I’m going to report you for child abuse.

 

[ancient_magpie]

I think the club deserve some credit for the piece they did on Tamau .He sure has the respect of some big names in the NRL
.I wish we had got Jim a few years earlier I think he would have made a differance

 

[GNR4LIFE]

It was good. Good to see Madge included. Good that the club reached out to him, and Madge himself was able to put whatever ill feelings he may have towards the club to wish Tamou all the best. Looks like he’s on a holiday too. Italy or France maybe. Half his luck, getting a pay out and taking off to the other side of the world. Beats hanging around here, watching your team get cleaned up every week, having your livelihood played out in the media every day, and having Paws curse your entire existence regularly. Good on him.

 

[Merlot]

congrats James

 

[innsaneink]

Well done Tamou... Great effort

 

[Telltails]

Yep has done it all. Congrats on a great career.

 

[The SHADOW]

A massive 👍 to Tamou . His record of 300 games shows games , but what a person off the field to. Never have I heard him bagging anyone , and we derserve it , never once.
all CLASS

 

[Long Term Fan]

To reach 300 NRL games playing in the front row is a huge achievement.

Will be 45th player in the history of the great game to reach 300.

Puts him in rare club and not many props in the club.

Congratulations Tamou

 

[earl]

Yeah - well done. The players always mention how professional he is. I reckon he is a great role model for the younger players.

 

[innsaneink]

I'm sure the Cowboys will likely have something for him after the game
Would be great if we could get a win for his 300th
