OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[Aesopian]

Noice:blush: Welcome to the club and wear the jersey with pride JT...

6 props on the roster for next season now. I reckon we're set

Need another second rower though. Two if Garner is indeed going.

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.


Ill bite.....Hectic Cheese?

Bwandon Smith


I need more info....how do you get Hectic Cheese from that?

It's his Instagram handle

mediocre

2 years is the perfect length. If he doesn’t live up to expectations, it’s only a short term deal, so it won’t be crippling like Reynolds and Packer have been. And if he’s still traveling well at the end of ‘22, offer him another year. There isn’t too much downside. He’s at Winx odds to at the very least be a co-captain.

Some well needed leadership at last. Hopefully Tamou can fulfil the role on and off the field that Packer should have been doing.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Agree that this is the type of veteran leader we need in our pack. Who knows maybe he can even help get Packer back to playing consistent football next year.

 

[Milky]

Good signing, hopefully leads the pack

Dare I say it, the club, from management to coaching staff seem to be going in the right direction.

It’s going to take us finishing in the 8 consistently before that is justified imo.

We need youth and speed. No wait a 32 year old, by the time he plays for us, and that's the right direction. Seriously its the same mistakes we keep repeating, nothing has changed.

What about JAC?

That would be a great signing but we haven't got him yet.

 

[Balmainbred]

Good buy welcome James.

 

[2005magic]

Glad to see him join. Welcome aboard, we need the leadership he can provide- we were supposed to get that with Packer but certainly did not.

Name a consistent forward leader that we have in the middle of the field...oh wait...

That is the destination, I said we are going in the right direction.

Punting Benji, signing a forward leader, not paying overs, not flinching at Melbournes demands, moving on McQueen.....etc...etc.

 

[Magpie1969]

Welcome aboard James. He fills a void lacking in current squad. Experience and Leadership and 2 year deal is perfect. Coming from a winning culture as well. Next JAC and Hetherington come on down. Still need to say good bye to overpriced Plodders.

 

[boonboon]

Great signing. We have been weak in the middle all year, we have lacked leadership all year and now we have effectively 3 new props for next year in Tamou, Stefano abd Musgrove (4 games this yr due to injury).

 

[gallagher]

A good solid start in recruitment.

 

[avocadoontoast]

Low risk signing that brings leadership.
