Apparently a guy on Facebook spoke to a relative of Tamou's and they reckon the signing will be announced this Saturday. Pretty legit if they spoke to his family.

Was it the same bloke that said he'd spoken to relatives of JAC and that his signing would be announced last Saturday?

Would be good if these Saturday sign-ups started eventuating...

Or any day for that matter
 
After the Latrell stuff I reckon people gee us up and have a laugh when it doesn't happen. Bellamy said the other day he is still hopeful that JAC will stay with the Melbourne - someone should tell him we have already signed him.

It’s only 48 hours from Saturday
 
Anyone know how much it's reported we are chasing Tamou?

The biggest issue is trying not to repeat history with Packer, however I actually think we are probably getting him for good value. If we were throwing huge numbers at him surly there would have been media leaks that "tigers haven't learnt their lesson"?

Considering we have about a million to spend + we are going after JAC - I can't see us spending all that much on Tamou, and if thats the case I am 100% on board with the signing. Leader, fit and always gives you a solid performance - for the right price I am ok with him in our prop rotation.

Don't know why anyone believed the original troll when it was clearly a fake account. Some gullible people are living in dreamland and can't call a spade a spade.

Compforted by Tamau! That's funny.

Hey can anyone please tell me if it's actually possible to offload Mbye? Its obvious his best position is no where in the team next year. Is any club interested at all? Thanks


Did you watch Saturdays game?

Mbye had a great game at fullback which I think is his best position. I totally understand that we will never get value for money from him but IMO he is more than capable of providing a very valuable position for the team. Again in my opinion he always puts it.

I’m with you. I don’t get the hate for Mbye. He works himself to a bone every game for the tigers, People just aren’t happy with his price tag but I would say on effort alone he could justify at least 2/3s of his salary.

Youth and speed. We need youth and speed.

Repeat this mantra until the idea of 30+ year old players (plodders?) has been flushed from your brain.

Bronco have heaps of youth and speed, but no leader. Someone that keeps everyone's heads up when things go wrong. A confident voice that has played plenty of finals and rep football, someone that you can believe when they say "come on guys, we can do this".

I wonder if we would consider having woods back? Time heals wounds I'd prefer him over Tamou

Tamou>>>>>>>>Woods.
Woods barely gets a gig in an average team at Sharps......Tamou is getting picked to play in a team dominating the comp.
If Woods came to us for minimum wage $120k then maybe he'd be worth a look. That's about it though.
Let's not forget how he dumped on WT when he left, those things shouldn't be forgotten easily IMO.

I have never seen any evidence that Woods did anything wrong. Just because something is repeated on a forum 1000 times does not make it true.

I agree... If he was on say 500k people would be cheering him on and not concerned.. He does cover a lot of positions and does a hell of a lot more than Packer and Reynolds.. Also stays injury free

Woods was captain of our club when he signed on to the Dogs...He strung the club (fans, members and sponsors) along for months, throwing up poor excuses whey he wont commit to us before signing with the Dogs. In the end it was clear he had no intentions of staying, he was working with his manager to get 3 of the big 4 signed up with the Dogs....we all know what happened there. So if he were to come back, it should be on a 2year contract on no more than $450-$500 p.a.....

Tamou I'm 50/50 - it may be great or maybe awful. Welch would be my first pick if we can get into the discussion.

The one I really want is Brandon Smith. Aggressive, ball player who can play anywhere in the forwards and will be coming from the best system in the league. Leads by example and is a genuine competitor. If Harry goes back to Storm, I'd be making a huge play for him to play lock and be there to backup Liddle if he breaks down. Add him to our forwards and it looks a lot stronger and his experience will help the others learn about hard work.

Of course, he'd need a clause similar to Harry to get out of Storm but we can always hope.

It all depends on Cameron Smith. If he retires, the money and positions are there for both Brandon and Harry to stay at the Storms.

I've always wondered...when did "The Storm" turn into "The Storm**s**"?

You and I both. The amount of people that pluralise "Storm" drives me nuts.

He wanted to know who the coach was going to be. There was no ultimatum, not attempt to get rid of JT, he just asked the board to make a decision.
 
Put it this way. If we were to rid ourselves of Packer and sign Tamou as a replacement on no more than 2 years I think that's a net win. Welch will command huge money. Tamou is a workhorse both in attack and defence. He'll be a good old head to steer the young blokes around and his regular output for Penrith is better than what we have.
