OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[mike]

Interesting Mbye didn't make the leadership group.

Not really, correcting a past mistake. He is not and never has been a leader.

 

[TCL]

As expected, good leadership group as well.

Interesting the Mbye was left out all together.

As captain M'Bye was a Marcel Marceau clone

Why you would put a winger in the leadership group ....

Anyhoo ....Lucy must have been unlucky

Because he knows his way to a camera post try to kiss the badge.

When your asking the winger for advice , your one step from asking the crowd for advice

Wonder if his run in with Liddle cost Lucy a spot in the leadership group. I would've thought he'd be in it

 

[innsaneink]

This guy just waltzes in a demands the captainct?

4 home grounds now this

🤨

 

[Goanna57]

Surprise, Surprise!

My thought exactly russell

 

[trentrunciman]

well done James. No doubt his rep experience will help the kids coming through. Really hope we can give the premiership a crack this year.

 

[WT2K]

Good stuff. Congrats James

 

[hsvjones]

Outstanding news…
Anytime he talks he just has the power for people to listen and buy in… He is going to do wonders for this team and development for the younger players…

Who else would you have ahead of him?

We are very thin on captain material which says alot about our squad in general.

Warren Boland captained Wests from the wing for years

 

[Cairnstigers]

With Tamou being so tall, everyone has to look up to him anyway
Only makes sense to make him Captain

On a serious note, I like this appointment
Not to many Captains in the history of our game that can boast a wining streak like the panthers last year
There were a few but not many
Let's hope Tamou can bring that professionalism here to the Tigers and lead by example

Thin pickings for leaders in Tiger Town unfortunately.

Some really interesting decisions. Tamou was brought in to be a leader and set an example, so that makes sense. He's delivered off the field so far.

I still think Brooks was selected as captain as a sign of confidence but also an expectation of how much he must assert himself. It wasn't long ago he was coming off the bench. I think the club is struggling to make his character something it clearly isn't, but we'll see.

Douehi has been talked up as a leader before on here and the way he stood up in that Manly game shows the character of the man.

Nofa sets the best example on the training field and has shown loyalty to our club that is uncommon. He deserves this honour.

Lucy...he's *young*, give it time. His best is definitely yet to come. He's certainly not been robbed.

Mbye, it would seem, is not in the club's long-term future, so why let him keep the captaincy? Maybe he'll do consistently well without extra duties.

I forgot about Twal. Doesn't move the needle for me.

Aside from Douehi, there is no real standout captain material on the Horizon, but 2 years is a long time in the NRL and I expect Tamou to be captain next year too

Me too. I'm sure the club already have plans for this and are ensuring guys with promise, like Lucy, get mentorship. If Liddle comes good I think he could get a look. He's been through a helluva lot. I also think Blore could have something in a few years time.

Mbye didn’t even make the leadership group 🤔
