Its a tale of two evils tonight. Which do I hate more?

it's Roosters...defiantly Roosters. Hate for Ivan aside the club deserve a premiership this year.

 

[Telltails]

Cannot cheer for anything Cleary is involved in. The Roosters mean nothing to me so them winning or losing has the same effect.

Can’t wait to see Tamou in tigers colours and to see what he brings to the team

Don’t get injured, don’t get injured, don’t get injured

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Really impressed me with his strength when tackled. Holds his feet or finds his front mostly. If he ends up on his back seemed to make it to his front quite quick.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Don’t get injured, don’t get injured, don’t get injured

He’s got 6 months to recover

 

[Hangonaminute]

He's doesn't run hard enough, and isn't an intimidating defender either.
He's Twal 1.0.
He's technically proficient

But we need a JWH type, a bully.

I don't see him adding much to our pack at all, not really excited that he's coming to be honest.

Don’t get me wrong we need stats up the middle we need more metres but we definitely need impact. The saving grace is that he’s not on huge money and will be a good leader

explains why we're after Hetherington

That bully JWH was mainly reponsible for roosters losing last night.

We need Impact off the bench more than anything. Look at who all the top 4 teams have coming off the bench big units who bend the line that’s what we really miss. Tamou will be a solid starter but we need someone like Leota off the bench

 

[Magpie1969]

Tamou is just piece of the puzzle. Hetherington is another piece

 

[yeti]

On Tamou's efforts last night, we'd have been better off keeping Huth. Same player, just cheaper.
Having said that, I have no idea about his leadership qualities, but most seem to think him an excellent captain. At any rate, 2 years ain't too onerous. (Well, not compared to Packer/Reynolds/McQueen et al).

Well, he rarely drops the ball or misses a tackle. There’s two reasons.

lol that was Packer and he's turned out to be a gem, hasn't he?

Two seasons and two great signings in Tamou and Douehi. I still question Maguire's coaching to get the best out of his team but he's brining in the right guys and gees he has given Reynolds and Packer every chance to show what they can do.

 

[TigerSJ]

Can’t argue with Tamou’s form this season. Only hope that he maintains that standard for us. It may be difficult as he wont be surrounded by the same quality team mates sharing the forwards load. If he can step up to the challenge of pack leader and maintain his form he will be a great addition to our squad. Note however we need others, Tamou on his own won’t do the job.

 

[Twodogs]

What's he supposedly on? I keeping hearing it's reasonable, so I'm guessing $500k to $700k per year?
