Needs to be buried up to his neck like the other Easter island heads
$350k for 28 minutes ?
King Plodder

As long as MCK is planted alongside him

Maybe all the plodders could be taken to Fraser Island

I’d say it’ll be Chee Kam’s last year with us ?
God bless him ..
Proven match winner who took us all the way to 9th

Not this season ...we will get relegated this year

Could be a good idea ...
How would we fare in the ESL ?

There's no tackling in sockah, we might be half decent.

English super league ..
Not English Premier League (Sokka)

It would stop the booing ...no one would be at the games

Mate ...we might be onto something

Merge with Castleford ..
They have a jungle also ?

Which English team used to be known as The Chemics? They could merge with Cronulla.

Widnes if I recall ?

Andy Currier's old stomping ground!

Someone said the other day he hasn’t had one interview where he hasn’t referenced the Panthers. First interview I read after that, boom Panther reference.

He had referenced the Panthers in early interviews whereby he said he could see that the Tigers have a young talented roster not unlike the Panthers... Boy was he wrong.
 
You pay your money, you're entitled to do as you please, short of hate speech and throwing crap at the players and ref. I don't boo as a general rule of thumb but if I were there last weekend I would have without question.

Most the players are crap anyway ...throwing more crap on them wouldn't help ......
 
I thought his first half was excellent. The misread in the defensive line to concede the second half try was horrible. Really wish it wasn't the captain missing those reads. I think for him to be valuable in the team he has to be better than that. If he's not doing the basic stuff right and he's not a game changing forward then what is his value? Feel Twal is currently a better version of him.

Agreed - being at the game live you get a different appreciation - he was not our worst forward tonight and had good defensive line speed.

The team as whole plays too flat in attack which needs to change - it just doesn't suit us.
 
Tamou has asked for this message to be posted on behalf of himself and the squad.

Line speed is more than just one person. There were points where he led the line speed, but they still struggle to do it as a team.

They're far up the ladder so no comparison but Melb disinintegrates their line speed a little. They figure out who's going to get the ball and form a mini C around them.

Obviously Tamou can't do all on his own but his marker defence and second efforts are still pretty bad. He still gets a quick PTB with landing on his knees but isn't doing the tough hard carries that are required of any prop.

We are only 6 games into the season but he hasn't impressed me too much yet on the field. Hope he can change my mind soon!

I'm now a true James T Fan.

I watched him on Sunday against the Dragons from the game and He was the first one bursting of the line in defense every time in his first stint and then he couldn't sit, prowling like a caged animal when waiting to get back on.

100% Commitment

Ive been starting to worry about him, but he had a great game on Sunday. Ran with gusto and was in their faces in defense!!
 
Thanks for sharing.
Totally agree, its disconnect in defense rather than lack of commitment. And still going to be a challenge for a while with lots of combinations still changing a fair bit every week. It's even more exposed when our offense gets clunky. Titans is another team relying on offense as their defense because the defense is still in the forming/norming stage like us.
Top 6 sides have set starters with minimal changes week in week out.
 
I thought he was OK on Sunday for the short period he was on the field.
I'm not a fan as most would know, but I don't hate the guy either. We don't really know what he brings to the team outside of his playing ability.
Purely as a footballer, however, he is only just OK imo

Was his best game for us. Defended well and even saw him breaking some tackles. His stats were always going to be down from last years but if he can be that effective every week it's fine.

We knew the effort was there, playing for each other, defending hitting hard and conserving possession. Truely added value having Robbie on the field present. Also what pleased me how Tamou jumping around at FT really put a smile on my face.
