OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

To be fair, I'm certain Dragons and Sea Eagles would be throwing far more serious coin at him than we would.
I've got him at either of these two clubs.
 
A change of club may well be what he needs to get his career back on track, but I reckon we have better props here at the moment. I'd be happy if St George concentrated all their efforts on securing Tamou, so we can get Scott instead, as he is more of the type of player we need.

That's a big no thanks. Totally over rated.

Spot on wd. He had 1 above-average season 3 or so years ago and has been a flop ever since. We ain't got the cash to be wasting on players like that.
 
Some players have a decent season, then are not able to re produce that form for the next few years.
Would not be surprised if Manly go after him.

You can tell he is not happy - his body is going through the motions but his head isn't there.

A bloke who is a SOO player should be able to rise above that and show up to play every week

Your getting paid extremely well to play a game you love ffs , a million blokes would love to replace you

That's the thing though Happy, he should never have been in the SOO team. His not existent lateral defence cost NSW a couple of tries last year!

Manly are chasing Tom and Sam Burgess plus Maloney.
 
Of course Tamou would be a quality addition for us. But with only so much cap available you have to be smart about where you spend it, we have a quality front row rotation with decent depth at the moment. The money that could be spent on Tamou would be put to better use on other positions at the moment.

Idk how people can say ALL our props are better. He's significantly better than Keithy.

Must have missed his defensive effort on Friday night. I'd take the Sauce any day, even more with the spring in his step this season.

Don't need front rowers, we have a solid rotation already and plenty of talent coming through the ranks.

I would much rather see Beau Scott signed.
 
Give me Keefy any day, he is as good as any in plugging the middle, as he was even when battling and hampered by injury last year.
 
Could see him @ Manly, Saints or the sharkies making a play.
Couldn't see us signing the bloke.

He went alright once, didn't he…
Haven't seen much of him lately.
 
He has a terrific season in '12 and has been poor since.
He was beyond woeful on Friday night, you will go along way to see 2 worse miss tackles for tries from anyone, much less, a rep player.
He has been on borrowed time for years now.
 
Some just need that change to rediscover their hunger and enthusiasm. You have to be 100% committed to truly succeed in this game and I have no doubt he'd come good with the right choice of club. But I don't think that should be us, we have other roster issues to address first.
 
We're well sorted for prop forwards it would seem. He is a class player when he's on though. He struggled last year and may just need a change of environment. Cowboys are 0/3 when a few people were touting them for top 4 finish. I know it's a long way off the end of the year and they could still well make it but they definitely don't look crash hot at the minute.

Im not sure he was ever a top class player, he was average for a few years, had an unbelievable season, and has been worse than average since.

Average player who caught fire for a season.
