OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[hobbo1]

Deadset Plodder who’s sucking a pension from us .
We don’t need him .. he’s just taking up a spot off one of our young boppers .

Which young bopper ....Seyfarth lol

Seyfarth was good on the weekend .

When Easter island went off and Stefano and Mikaele came on we lifted ..
You need to watch the games more closely..

The big mistake that we've made is giving him the captaincy spot. Then you start with the guy. I reckon he is lucky to make our top team and I think it's nuts to have Tamou, Twal and Joe O as our starting middle forwards. You need at least one guy that can actually dent the line himself. Stef, Mikaele or Musgrove need to start and drop Tamou or Twal.

The more I think about it Tamou doesn't deserve a starting spot.

Honestly Seyfarth, Mikaele, Stef, Joe O and Twal area all better than Tamou now. If Musgrove fixes his defense he has to get a spot. That doesn't include Amone or Tuki SImpkins or any other up and coming middle forward.

Tamou is great depth and we didn't overpay. He has also been decent for us. He isn't a bad signing. I'm just not sure he is what we need.

If Tamou was brought in for leadership he should be running around in the Knock on cup ( on minimal wage)

 

[hobbo1]

All he’s doing besides riding the Tour de France and parading the sidelines in dressing gowns is holding back the youth …

This is the issue isn't it. He gets a spot based on being the captain. Someone misses out.

It's similar to when we signed Pat Richards and we left Korobiete or JAC out of the team. It's not this bad but it's not great.

Captains lead from the field not the bench ...
Doueihi should be captain imo

Our best young props are still in jersey Flegg, still a few years until they'll be ready

I wouldn't put it past Mavoni to debut next year although I suspect he'll feature quite a bit in KOE.

I wonder if he'll get a run this year in KOE, he's been killing it in Flegg by the sounds of it. Etuale Lui got picked over him but he did quite well, could see both of them pushing for firsts next year sometime.

I have no doubt he'd handle the step up. We're well served in the front row at the moment even with Packer missing. I suspect if one of the front rowers went down with injury then it may open up a spot on the bench for him.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Mikaele really stepped up the other day. Though he is playing for a contract 🤔

 

[watersider]

I was nervous about him coming back on in the second half, he's been poor in his second stints this season, but he was good against the Dragons and maybe even added something to the team when he came back.

Hardened professional that has played SOO

You don't think the young blokes coming through aren't bleeding Tamou dry for help becoming a 250 game plus veteran

Yeah, he was only the captain for last year's minor premiers and Grand finalist. Couldn't possibly be of value to us

Look this bloke only plays an average of 40 mins per game. I'm very disappointed with him so far, and I don't suppose there'll be any improvement in him or the mins he plays..he may have experience but if he's not on the field he is not able to impart any of this experience or captain the team as he should:angry:

You do realise he doesn’t just impart any of his experience only on the field he does it of the field too. He gets the minutes Madge allows him! We also bought him before the new rules made the game faster. He was never here to play big minutes. We aren’t paying heaps and he’s not as bad as everyone has made him out to be.

I like him. He is a great ambassador for WTs. A face for the new era WTs.

They lead off the field too tamou doing a fine job

Yes I guess you are right...I know there is the off field side that needs someone with a good attitude and I'm sure he has that, so I'm willing to see how he goes:blush:

 

[Sabre]

This bloke is just here to collect a pay cheque

 

[tigerap]

Does not seem to be an effective leader when the side needs someone to take charge....have yet to see him rip into the team behind the goal posts

 

[weststigerman]

Well they got this one wrong. As did I.

Im not sure why he plays so little minutes, but he’s been very disappointing.

I think our middle forwards get a pass park with the obvious exception being the Manly game. Stefano has been good, Joffa in patches and Mikaele is improving lately, Twal is consistently plodding - they’re all taking minutes off Tamou.

Our edges on the other hand... debacle.

Brooks replacing Captain GuMbye in the leadership group and assuming witches hat responsibilities.

Wow you made no sense , other a bit of closet racism sprinkled in there . Good for you ....


Wow, really! You are trying to play the race card? I assume you are referring to witches hats or Captain GuMbye? If so, go get some perspective from other posts on this forum of what these references relate to. Both refer to players that do not contribute much on the field but are always selected. Nothing to do with race!

Obviously I offended you by criticising your buddy Brooksie rather than Benji bashing as per your agenda. Sorry for having a different opinion.

BTW, you posted on this forum about a "black dog" last month. Not sure why the dog's colour is relevant, but based on my agenda and taking your comment out of context I have reason to believe you must be racist and a hypocrite. Good for you ...

What ? Ones referencing depression the other is using someone’s last name as a payout . Like I said closet racism . Could you draw a longer bow? You do realise black means the lack of colour ? As in what happens to your brain , when you fall into the abyss . It’s a metaphor . How long did it take you to look at all my posts to find something to pay me out? Don’t be racist . It’s not hard . What does Benji have to do with witches hats and brooks ? I love benji . His defence infuriated me last year . And he played for himself IMO the last 8 games .

Not interested in a fight , or even offended . Just think it lacks class . It’s like saying “your mum” .

Gumby is green.
Does that still make it racist?
PS He knew what black dog meant...was just illustrating what can happen if people take things the wrong way.

Yep , I saw the pun this time around . I. Missed it first time , I thought he was just being racist . Which I thought was a bit meh . Now I just see it’s just a dad joke . I see his point . Thanks for clearing that up . I honestly didn’t see it .
