OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[mike]

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

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.

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

Luciano Leilua & Josh Aloiai will be our future leaders.

We need right now leaders. None of our forwards have even played 100 games except Packer, the aim is for Tamou to improve all these young forwards and make them leaders by the time he’s gone.

You want us to invest in youth and we are, 90% of our forwards are still very young so signing an experienced, solid performer to guide that youth still counts as investing in youth I reckon.

It’s also only two years and the price that’s been reported is pretty good value so worst case scenario he gets injured or doesn’t perform it’s not a massive loss.

McIntyre has demonstrated more leadership qualities than both in his short NRL career. I wouldn't be surprised if he usurps both to become WTs' future Captain.

Is James the Captain in 2021 ? Would be a change to have a leader with experience as captain underpants has been a flop!

Could be, I wouldn’t be surprised.

 

[WT2K]

Perfect contract length and Money being quoted is good business.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Great signing. Unlike Packer, who is an impact prop whose stats don't always tell the full story (although this season they do paint a dreadful picture), Tamou actually has the numbers to back the hype. He is having his best season since 2016. I see no reason why he can't continue this season's form into 2021. Looking forward to seeing him in our colours.

 

[cochise]

Do we really need another thread?

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

Welcome to the Wests Tigers Tamou..

They are really pushing his leadership qualities in the announcement mate

Have a look at the Donkey's youth Mate - really ripping it up.

Maybe you want us to have the spoon????

As you said "Future" ....Maybe.

We need a leader NOW!

 

[CarltonDry]

He'll be here longer than the coach

This guy is an out and out leader, that is why we signed him. He will help those younger guys develop into their leadership roles as well.

I assume you mean Broncos? Their youth is not the reason they are in the state they are. That’s a front office issue, with the CEO and Chairman hiring different coaches resulting in a major blowup and disconnect and then to add insult to injury disrespecting their old boys. The issue is not the youth in the team but a club power battle and club politics.

They have leaders but they have divided loyalties. That club is in total disarray.

 

[cochise]

Without good leaders, your future leaders can develop bad leadership traits as they develop.

Contract year meters. Let’s see what he’s like after half dozen games for the Wests Tigers when he has nothing to play for.
