Tamou leaves Tigers call in safe hands

[Telltails]

I'm not enthused about this -,especially if Penrith win the title. I'm yet to see a player at the end of their career make an impact at a club trying to "rebuild" especially if they come from a club who has just experienced a successful year. A forced move - simply to add to the retirement fund. Time will tell if he is an exception.

Steven Price Dogs to the Warriors worked out well

Tamou is near the end of his career and playing in a top side with many players carrying the workload so its easy to look good.We have to many stale players in mbye,Packer,Reynolds etc..We need to only buy quality players under 26 yrs.Do not panic and stuff the cap.Buy young promising players or quality established young players only. I would rather wait 2 more years to build a roster then then be in the same position signing burnt out talent.

So who is available to purchase in that age category ?

We are only signing him for two years 😂 he’s a decent option, don’t think he’ll turn our pack around but he’s good to have until we can look to sign some better props in 2022 because frankly there’s not many options in that area at the moment.

Young promising players need players like Tamou to guide them to the next level. Over the years I have seen countless so called young talented players at our club go backwards. Tamou at Penrith is playing the exact role we need in our club. Absolute no brainer and thank god Madge thinks the same

Try to get Hetherington from Panthers, while he is on the field he will show the pack some leadership

 

[Magpie1969]

Tamou and Hetherington would uplift our pack. Hopefully the Parra Bopper is half decent

Signing Tamou at 31 years old would be a mistake but consistent with our woeful player recruitment and retention record. We need to continue to develop Mikaele and Musgrove to partner Aloiai, who's been great this year. Tamou is no Petro Civoniceva.

I was against the Tamou signing initially, but for $350k per year on a 2 year deal, there is no better option. We're also devoid of leadership in any way which he would bring.

Tamou makes more metres per game than all the players you listed and is a better defender. Realistically, he'd be the first middle forward picked. Aloiai has had his best year ever but his defence was exposed against Souths. Mikaele has been bitterly disappointing and Musgrove has played 4 games in the last 3 seasons.

I think Mikaele and Musgrove are both myths. They remind me of waiting for Ava and Sue.

 

[jirskyr]

Doesn’t sound like he really wants to come here. Sounds like a last option only. This will be a disaster an ageing prop who doesn’t want to be here but has no choice. It’s not going to end well.

Tell me what was his bodylanguage?

And who is going to develop them?

 

[Cheshire]

Mikaele and Musgove are 22 and 24yo. Generally the club's coaching staff develop players, not ageing players well past their best. Penrith knows Tamou has a year left, at best.

Musgrove looked better than Mikaele when he played. He’s young and has all the makings of a good prop and we looked worse without him. Mikaele has a few great games then some terrible ones, all about consistency like majority of the team

Forum favourite Russell "Trench Foot" Packer


 

[Cheshire]

Pehaps we could also sign up Josh Jackson to develop Garner and McIntyre.

Leadership is not why you would bring hetherington over
