OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[JC99]

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

Yeah recruitment since this time last year has been pretty good given what they’ve had to work with. Nabbed lots of young up and comers and guys like Doueihi and Luciano have been good pickups too. Now it’s time to start spending big dollars come 2022

I didn't watch the game, but it sounds like he had a good one. Very happy to hear it.

Same here, though will probably catch him next weekend to see if he can still put together back to back performances in big games.

Hopefully Penrith get done next week and Jum comes here with the fire in the belly to have one last tilt before he finishes up.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

We have one, potentially 2 players playing next week that will be in our side in 2021.

Useless fact. This is the third consecutive grand final that one of the players will be with us the following year.

Joey Leilua played the GF in 2019, Matterson played it in 2018.

Matterson won in 2018- had a stellar season with us in 2019 before promptly chucking a sook and leaving

hopefully Tamou or JAC which ever wins the GF doesnt do the same :joy:

Yeah he was a good signing he was excellent when he played, just a shame about his rotten attitude

 

[tigerbill]

Was one of his better games but still wasn't a standout at all. Fisher Harris, Yeo were much more impactful.
"He has been in winning teams so he will help us win"... Lol the people on this forum.

Every time i log in one of thefirst posts that jumps out at me is " Official - Wests tIgers sign " - my heart jumps a beat then i see James Tamou. Its great that we have signed him but my heart will keep jumping until i see JAC after sign.

Jimmy is a Webcke type signing. Never going to be a game breaker but is always there to roll up his sleeves and consistently. Has a quicker than average play the ball that helps the following run.
Very good value for money imo. Outdoes any front rower we have

Not exactly what you want to read as a Tigers supporter, I'm glad we saved a player from retirement, gives me great confidence in our signing knowing that he felt that he was washed up.

Well his performances have been very good and his coaches constantly talk about how hard he works so I’m not too worried

2yrs ago makes it even worse ?, if he felt like hanging up the boots 2yrs ago with until he finishes 9th next year.
Another dud signing imo

Can't help but feel he's just here claiming his retirement fund.
