OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[mikey]

He is the most important signing for us since Gareth Ellis

He may not be the type that goes ballistic but he goes forward well. Like my AU ute - just does the job well. Wish we had Yeo as well.

Always found his front and found a quick play the ball loved it

 

[tigerap]

Gee none of our players will understand what he says, his voicebox is shot

 

[Geo]

Great game lead from the front ..steadied the Pamfers when he came back on..broke tackles..

 

[watersider]

Yeah, I've been indifferent to his signing, but he was really good tonight. Interesting that they use him on 4th tackles for his quick play the balls. Was also strong defensively slowing down the souths sets whenever he tackled.

Still a Panther for another week.

Tamou is a good signing for us, his form, work ethic and leadership attributes shine, never more than the Panthers 2020 grand final campaign. My only disappointment is, if Packed had done his job and earned his money, we wouldn't have needed to sign Tamou.

Plodder transformation will begin in a few weeks... Probably be another Blair... That's what we're good at

Happy with this signing, hope he doesn't get used as a decoy

 

[JC99]

40 mins, ten runs for 120 metres, 8 tackle breaks, 28 tackles 0 missed. Outstanding stats for any game let alone a prelim final plus he found his front and found quick play the balls consistently

Got leadership skills on top

Yeah it’s a scary thought that it could actually happen.

At present, Tamou is the captain of a team that has won 17 games on the trot and is now in the GF. In 8 days he could actually be the captain of the Premiership winning team. This is the calibre of player that we have finally snared - I truly hope that the plodder transformation doesn’t take place in this instance, but his signing has the opposite effect and he can actually lead and inspire our team to greater heights.

I think with the signing of Douehi and Lucy this season and Tamou for next we are finally choosing the right kind of players to lead us on to better days. It JAC ends up coming onboard also that will be a sure sign of better days, imo. It has to happen... surely, God knows we’ve all waited long enough!

Here here.

Madge constantly talks about targeting leaders. Case and point

 

[PabloX]

I honestly can't fault our recruitment team. If you think about who we have signed and targeted, they're doing a great job.

It really feels like there's some thought going on in the background

 

[Viking Warrior]

Cant wait for Jimmy to join, watching him talk in the Panthers huddles and lead there blokes around is something we have needed as well as some one that can consistently make 100m a game.
