He's doesn't run hard enough, and isn't an intimidating defender either.
He's Twal 1.0.
He's technically proficient

But we need a JWH type, a bully.

I don't see him adding much to our pack at all, not really excited that he's coming to be honest.

Don’t get me wrong we need stats up the middle we need more metres but we definitely need impact. The saving grace is that he’s not on huge money and will be a good leader

explains why we're after Hetherington

That bully JWH was mainly reponsible for roosters losing last night.

We need Impact off the bench more than anything. Look at who all the top 4 teams have coming off the bench big units who bend the line that’s what we really miss. Tamou will be a solid starter but we need someone like Leota off the bench
 
On Tamou's efforts last night, we'd have been better off keeping Huth. Same player, just cheaper.
Having said that, I have no idea about his leadership qualities, but most seem to think him an excellent captain. At any rate, 2 years ain't too onerous. (Well, not compared to Packer/Reynolds/McQueen et al).

Well, he rarely drops the ball or misses a tackle. There’s two reasons.

lol that was Packer and he's turned out to be a gem, hasn't he?

Two seasons and two great signings in Tamou and Douehi. I still question Maguire's coaching to get the best out of his team but he's brining in the right guys and gees he has given Reynolds and Packer every chance to show what they can do.
 
Can’t argue with Tamou’s form this season. Only hope that he maintains that standard for us. It may be difficult as he wont be surrounded by the same quality team mates sharing the forwards load. If he can step up to the challenge of pack leader and maintain his form he will be a great addition to our squad. Note however we need others, Tamou on his own won’t do the job.

What's he supposedly on? I keeping hearing it's reasonable, so I'm guessing $500k to $700k per year?

Report was $700k over two years, so $350k a season or thereabouts.

You need to watch closer. Much closer.

No where near that much.

I think it is actually even less than that.

I cannot believe anyone is even questioning this signing :man-facepalming:
He will have one of the youngest packs next year and his experience on and off the field will be invaluable... And the kicker... we picked him up for 350k a season for 2 years...
We don't have the money yet to go and buy a massive bag name signing so we are been smart until we lose Packer & Reynolds..

Even if he turns out a plod, at least he isn't taking up that much cap.
