James Tamou to the Roosters???

[Cockadoodledoo]

Everyone knows that the boffins that run this club are stupid.
Re-signing Tamou after we didn't want him wont make people think we are stupid.
We where stupid for letting him go in the first place, the same goes for Linnett

yep we know that.. People were saying Linnet was crap but we have the 2 dumbest centres in the comp remaining.. It is lucky SKD can snare a try or 2, BJ just kills me with his 3 drop balls a game.

This spells danger for cowboymad.

What did he do to get sacked and how is he suddenly coming back?

[stephenj]

[Funky Chicken]

Personally I would like Tolman and Tamou at our club

Then we could have a team of;

1. Tuivasa-Shek
2. Tagive
3. Kenny-Dowell
4. Moga
5. Oldfield

6. Maloney
7. Pearce

8. Tolman
9. A decent hooker who is better than Friend
10. Tamou
11. SBW
12. JWH
13. Cordner


Reserves

Tasi
Evans/Napa
Bosden/Arona/Leilua/Guerra
Seluini

Coach: Trent Robinson/Jason Taylor
Fitness: Kevin Hastings and Anthony Minichiello

Will we look stupid if we re-sign Tamou? Not as stupid as we look now.

Look even more stupid for letting him go.

Roosters had him and let him go... typical roosters i must say, get rid of a player and they turn to a star. would b nice to get him back

[Guest]

what annoyed me about letting tamou go in the first place (which is on record here) was that it was no secret that he was a gun player. was our best player in the 20s racking up evans-like performances week-in-week out, selected for junior rep teams etc. he was always going to make it. as i have said elsewhere however, players like tamou we have in spades (even though he is arguably the best prop in the comp). someone like tolman who has that motor and toughness close to the ruck is what we need to balance things out.

on a side note, there is a lot of vitriol surrounding kennedy and friend in particular on here. while i dont intend to weight in on the argument, these are 2 of our best young players. 1, our clubs best and fairest last year (albeit in a poor year), the other, a likely origin selection had he not gotten injured. both arent at their best atm i conceed but it is ridiculous to demand they be released on the basis of some bad form playing in the worst performing team in the comp atm which has a coach and key players under fire and no clear direction. its almost like we want a repeat of the tamou saga. I almost forgot maubs as well. 1 of our best players over the last 2 years and future club captain. surely he cant be left out so easily....

1. Minichiello
2. RTS
3. Leilua
4. SKD
5. Moga
6. Maloney
7. Pearce

8. Tolman
9. Friend
10. Evans
11. SBW
12. Cordner
13. JWH

14. Aubusson
15. Kennedy
16. Tasi
17. Guerra/Seluini/Arona/Bosden

Realistically, this is the best side we could field next year. mini will be here (possibly even captain so we have to come to terms with that and not be naive. I for one wouldnt mind seeing him defend at fullback (due to his experience and strength under the high ball and then allow RTS to attack from fullback to get him more involved. That would be a great compromise imo. Ive put Evans in to start. A big call considering he hasnt debuted yet but he is in that Tamou/Kasiano mild in terms of frame, aggression and skills so would be well suited to starting the match

Seriously???? Based on what? btw we have no front rowers like Tamou.. I can't believe I read people saying we have heaps of front rowers like him.

short memories? he was single-handedly dismantling opposition forward packs for us early last year

He was playing well, he didn't single handedly dismantle anyone. These sort of articles are a dime a dozen. Queensland rarely drop incumbents.

Roz,
I like the look of your team however, imo Moga MUST play centre in 2013. He's not a winger & the only reason i can justify the mad professor for playing him there in his debut year is to break him in to get familiar with the pace of NRL. I've never been a fan of players being selected out of position. I'd put BJ on the bench for his impact & versatility & put Oldfield on the wing spot.
Tolman would be a neat signing but realistically he won't be playing in the tri-colours jersey in 2013. Fingers crossed Bosden gets fully over his injuries & can remain fit because he possesses the workhorse attributes our team so desperately needs.

I dont disagree. My only thoughts are that if you put leilua on the bench, who misses out? effectively evans, arona, bosden, guerra or seluini gives way. Its basically a matter of deciding whether oldfield/tagive is a better player than any of the aforementioned. The other advantage of leilua at centre is that with SBW transitioning back from union, leilua's extra big body would be beneficial outside him as they could swap around in attack. not a big deal either way though imo.
