It seem Maguire thinks he's still coaching Souths in 2014. He coaches a very unimaginative game style - forwards belting it up time and time again the kick and that was easily handled by Parra. Poor Alex Twal. Little wonder Madge found no room for Benji - he has too much spark for this Tigers...
Mikaele and Musgove are 22 and 24yo. Generally the club's coaching staff develop players, not ageing players well past their best. Penrith knows Tamou has a year left, at best.
Signing Tamou at 31 years old would be a mistake but consistent with our woeful player recruitment and retention record. We need to continue to develop Mikaele and Musgrove to partner Aloiai, who's been great this year. Tamou is no Petro Civoniceva.
