OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[Geo]

Do we really need another thread?

Yes as official signings deserve there own stand alone threads..

Welcome to the Wests Tigers Tamou..

Really happy with this signing I think he will add invaluable experience both on and off the field to our young pack.

Welcome to the Wests Tigers Tamou..

Could you be anymore negative about his signing

 

[WT2K]

Welcome to the Tigers, James.

Without causing all the negative nellies on here to get their knickers in a knot,however if Packer is to stay next year and gets fitter and injury free over the offseason,I think with Tamou coming,he and Russ could really harden up the forward pack and give the young guys so much added experience and knowledge..
just an opinion based on how well Russ combined with Matalino in the early parts of the seasons with us,they did do well and could this be Russells final year to show that injury free he has something to offer the young recruits ...

Out of all the forwards we’ve got signed for next year, only Packer has over 100 games and he probably won’t even play.

A lot of our forwards have under 50 games, we desperately needed an experienced forward who’s consistently on the field putting solid performances in every week.

Welcome to the club James Tamou 🔥

That would be nice however Ive seen nothing to suggest that that is likely or even possible. Better would be medical retirement because of his foot.

Packer is probably the most best set for 'after footy' life as well

apparently he is decently smart

Completed a few degrees as part of his rehab getting back into the NRL. He’s also heavily involved in the players union and pretty highly regarded in that area. He’s really good to have around the young guys looking after them and they love him, shame he’s on such big money and isn’t performing on the field.

Yep for sure.
Skillful Lock would be ideal. But outside of The Hectic Cheese(Big IF whether he's even available) there's not much on offer unfortunately...

Re-enter the prop stakes for 2022 after Russ is gone. No need to chase another one for next year.

Also what I like about JT's signing is he'll lock up our middle defence. Really good at holding up the ball carrier and slowing the play the ball.
