OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[Merlot]

T mou is always lookin positive talking it up from the bench when camera's on him lately,1moreforward of his calibre with some grunt, were sitting in top 6

Does anyone know if he is carrying injuries or something else is going on. I just find it hard to get my head around the fact that he was brought here to lead our young side, but spends the least amount of time on the field than any of our players. Not opposed to the bloke, actually I'm a fan, I just don't know how he is supposed to lead from the bench.

Pretty sure someone put a statistic up showing he’s playing about the same minutes for us as he did at the panthers. He managed to lead that team to a grand final.

Tamou: 'United Wests Tigers to stick together'

Wests Tigers skipper James Tamou has called on his players to stay united following the side’s heartbreaking loss to the Warriors in Round 11.

Tamou was frustrated by the team’s performance on the Central Coast but said they can’t dwell on the disappointment ahead of the Indigenous Round clash against St George Illawarra.

“We’ve got to look forward because now it’s must-win,” Tamou said.

“We’ve had a pretty honest review session and we’ve got to get over that game as quickly as we can and fix some things up and move on to the Dragons.

“We’ve spoken about just sticking together because we’ve got a tight-knit group of boys.

“We’ve got to stay connected and keep working for each other.”

Although Tamou is dissatisfied with where his side is sitting on the ladder following 11 rounds, he said their position isn’t a reflection on the effort they’re inputting throughout each week.

“I’ve said it all year — the effort is there, it’s just a few things that we are letting ourselves down on,” the captain said.

“We’re working hard for each other. It hurts when you’re working hard but still not getting wins.

“We know it’s there and know it can work, we just need to execute at the right times.”

Tamou is hoping Wests Tigers can perform well against the Dragons during Friday night’s Indigenous Round clash.

“This [Indigenous] jersey and this round means a lot to us,” Tamou said.

“This jersey means so much to some kids — it gives them hope because they look up to these players .

“Jimmy the Jet [James Roberts] and Daine Laurie — they wear this jersey with pride. For us to be on their level, we really need to step up — which we know we can do.”

Isn't every game a must win..I don't get the mentality Mr Tamou.

 

[tony soprano]

Let’s hope the other side doesn’t turn up it’s our only hope

 

[hobbo1]

These stories make me nauseous, we’re working for each other, how about put your body in front of them on the edges.

Working for each other, how about just make your tackles.

In all fairness,most of you can read into it what you will,however from my perspective,Tamou is saying that if you want to be sucessfull at this level,you must step up and play to that level...bag me if you must,but I know exactly what he is saying,the young guys learning and the older guys doing what they have been taught over many years...its that gap that James is talking about...
