[tiger_one]

Why is our captain hardly ever on the field?

Is Hastings a smokey for a leadership role next season?

Too early to tell - wait for the offseason articles on how the pre-season has been the hardest they've ever done and who is leading the way.

He's in a moon boot at the moment.
Some one shared a video on his wife's IG and he looked busted.

No. We should never pick a captain again who is coming into the club. You need to earn that captaincy by performing at the Tigers.

Imagine we lose tamou,Packer and Mbye all at seasons end.
Only thing thatd make that better is if Nofo requested a release to the Eels or dogs.

How about old age Pension.

 

[Pascoes_barber]

Can we 'unsign' him somehow now? Pretty ridiculous to have a captain spending only half an hour on the field.

Tamou isnt our reason for loosing games,

This is a squad attitude.

Terrible decisions and the team doesn't win the collision

The best captain in the world would have a tough task leading these blokes around,especially if you just spoke to them about being better disiplined and committed....
they then come out,drop balls,kick out on the full,play the ball with no d/h,kick a great 40/20 and then give up that gain by passing the ball a metre forward...and it goes on and on....
most of our blokes still need to mature and learn the system,thats half the problem,the other half is some are never going to be top NRL standard....

 

[rihannafan1]

It'd be awesome to get rid of Tamou so we could replace him with someone else we could inevitably grow to hate and wish to replace and then replace them with someone else we could inevitably grow to hate and...

What caught my eye was the section about Tamou:

Skipper James Tamou played in a grand final with Penrith and then lobbed for pre-season training at the Tigers before Christmas. **The thing that stood out for him most was “the standards at training**”.

**There was talk within two weeks of him being at the Tigers he wanted to shuffle his way back down the M4**. He quickly denied that was the case.

“And this year I’ve learnt more about myself, I’ve learnt how to be a better human and leader,” Tamou said on Friday.


By 'standards' do they mean good or bad?
And does anyone know the talk of Tamou wanting out is referring to?

I thought that he was brought in to help increase the standard?

I remember he was quoted at the time saying Penrith had learned about winning football, and the Tigers weren’t at that point yet. It would have been an eye opener coming from an all conquering team that had a massive winning streak to a Tigers team lacking player leaders.
