Are people forgetting that we lack funds and cannot go out and by another game changing forward until we lose Reynolds & Packer... I think its smart if we were to pick up Tamou on say a 2 year deal as he would full in 1 of our front row places and not cost an arm or leg..
Its called a salary cap and I would rather spend a few hundred thousand on Tamou then go without until our salary cap is fixed. We have a heap of Young players that need leadership and he fits that bill.
Remember he is not going to be a superstar and make 200+ m a game so take that out of your minds. (he will do better than Packer)
Tamou is 31, he will be 32 next year. There is a reason he is being let go. Youth and speed, youth and speed.
He's been let go because of the talent Penrith have coming through the younger forwards are all progressing well so its time to move on its called salary cap management and when you have the talent available that Penriff have its vital important to a clubs continued success and a good front rower at 32 years if age is like a fine wine it gets better with age we have some good young forwards BUT we do not have a LEADERSHIP
Then let’s steal some of their Juniors. We don’t need plodder leadership, we have plenty of that. I’ve been hearing the same old rhetoric for nearly a decade and where had it got us? Consistently 9th. How about we change tack and do something different like I don’t know, go for youth and speed instead.
When you look at the top 5 sides they all have a mixture of youth ,30 gamers and 50 gamers as well as 100 game players and older hard heads a team built on youth will always find it difficult prime example BRONCOS at the beginning of the year on paper looked world beaters to many young and big egos no leadership image that side with a Petro or Wally in it.
Forget the Broncos they are a basket case. We have a multi premiership winning coach to guide the young. Besides it’s not like the team now is made up of 18 and 19 year olds. There is enough mature heads to get the job done. More than anything we need some speed, along with some more youth and we have a premiership or three in the making. It won’t be next year, we need to be looking at 2022 and beyond. The time to build is now. Youth and speed is what we need.
