No formal offer from the Tigers was presented.
So we still might be in with a chance if WTs did indeed make contact with Paulo and his management regarding coming.
No offence TP but your information of late is more miss then hit.
A discussion was had with his management, nothing more, no touring of the facility.
He's staying at the Eels.
Thanks Pom. I believe you 1 billion percent. Some info that an eels player with an islander surname did tour? Could it be Oregon? Ask your source
Can honestly say nothing about this has come across to me, Oregon was actually a target before he last signed with Eels.
If that’s all there was was just a discussion does that mean they are still hoping to land Thompson?
Club want's Thompson but Bulldogs are firm on the amount the are willing to chip in, would assume with there current cap situation they have this figure in mind for a reason but they will only cover at most 150k of his salary at the point in time.
Thanks @THE_POM for the update we do need another Prop to help Stefano upfront hopefully we land one soon
Think an semi-experienced hard runner is what the club needs to replace Tamou for 2023.
A mannequin on the sidelines wearing an oversized jacket could replace Tamou in 2022
Man I was watching 2015 gf Tamou just needs get those quick play the balls happening again hopefully sheens helps capture previous years form wouldn't write him of yet
2015 is nearly seven years ago. Natural slowdown occurs. Tamou is a typical Wests Tigers bad years signing.
Except he's not on massive wages like some of those bad years signings of the past, that's what people are forgetting a bit with Tamou, he's not breaking the bank
He's not breaking a sweat either
Or the opposition defensive line
He isn't a problem though in relation to the salary cap. So long as he trains hard and does his job whatever grade that is in. The problem is making him captain and therefore a sure pick in the top team. I view him coming into the team when we get injuries/suspensions and doing a great job in that context.
I am not concerned about what he earns but about his lack of impact.He needs to improve to be part of the 17 because what he is contibuting atm he could do just as effectively in reggies
I wouldn't pick him in my top team. Maybe he will have a huge season but I just think we have better options.
