Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Blues Riff]

Tamou an OK season...? Wow, you really set the bar low hey?

Good to see him and Mez getting flogged from day one at pre season. Meanwhile Reg shines for the Roos. Maybe they'll pull their fingers out. That's my hope.

I'll give Mez a pass for 2017 based on how brilliant his 2016 was and all the shit he had going on

Tamou an OK season...? Wow, you really set the bar low hey?

RCG - 3368 mtrs - 10.4 mtrs per run
707 tackles -91 missed, Offloads - 11, tackle breaks - 37, Try assists-1,tries-3,line breaks -4

Tamou - 2851 at 9.86 mtrs per run,
717 tackles - 39 missed, 18 offloads, tackle breaks -54, 3 - tries, 3 - line breaks.

Tamou averaged 5 mins less a game so a higher work rate in defense and about same in runs.

 

[umina panther]

I'll be fair. Aussie Jim is a top level defender but he runs the ball like a bitch. So disappointing after how he played in the 9s

 

[hindy111]

Tamou averaged
27 tackles and 110mtrs a game an offload and 2 tackle breaks .
Compared to elite props
Woods,Klemmer and Vaughan Tamou made most tackles, Tied first with Vaughn for tackle breaks. And second to Vaughn in meters gained per run.

So he has more tackle breaks,Tackles per game and meter per run then the current Australian props. Like I said, he had an ok year.

 

[hindy111]

He doesnt need to make 150mtrs agame aslong as his meter per carry are strong.
It just means someone else gets to take the run. Mansour perhaps or a prop off Bench.
Woods takes more as does Klemmer cause have less guys good at running the ball.

What is the obsession with meters made stat. Tolman clocks up the meters gained with his 8 mtr runs. If you can get 100mtrs + from a prop and share to work load that is more ideal then one having to rely on like tigers did with Woods.

Dogs props clock up big stats cause they dont have Mansour and DWZ style wingers doing strong carries.

Josh Mansour what a man. Should be on at least what Jim is, he's carried our pack for years

We need to clone him.

But dont you want to give Tamou more of his runs so he can clock up 150mtrs a game?

Josh has already taken 2 before the lazy merkin in back to take a run

He'd have to catch his breath first.

Unsure if you understand the game of rugby league. It would be much better to have meters gained and hit ups spread more even across park.
Tamous meters gained per run is very good. Tackles made excellent and also breaks tackles.
So if he took a other 3 runs a game he averages 140trs a game. Does that change your opinion on him?

 

[Westernised Panther]

When does Tamou's contract end?

 

[BossleyPanther]

I need some explanation on third party payments. I keep hearing that Penrith (and some other clubs) has less 3rd party agreements than say the Roosters making it harder for us to get deals. But why is it different than what's the point of a cap when another team has more TPA?

The averages per game are:
Woods - 17 runs for 162m
Klemmer - 17 runs for 167m
Tamou - 11 runs for 109m

50+ metres extra per game from the Australian props. Thats what forward leaders do. Tamou doesnt take the tough hitups. Tamou doesnt build or swing momentum. RCG averages about the same per run but they are a shitload more effective.

Tamou is paid to be our forward leader. He is paid as one of the games elite props. But his performance on field has been nowhere near that.

He performs like Tim Browne. He just has more minutes to have higher stats. They go out and make their runs. Make their tackles. But there's no impact in what they do. RCG runs with the intent to knock people over. Tamou runs with the intent not to get hurt.

Edit
Using your logic, Browne makes 65m off 6.58 runs. That's 9.87m per run. Higher than Woods 9.53m or Klemmers 9.82m per game.

Clearly Browne is also better than the Australian props.

TPA is x company can pay players for things like corporate gigs, marketing etc.

Clubs can't find this sponsor. Roosters have Politis, Mark Bouris etc on their board. It's these contacts that gets these deals.

The Footy Show, Southlands shops a few others were Moylan's one. More we get the more we can use

A TPA is basically a player working a second job. A company will pay them for use in advertising etc. Clubs like Roosters have more due to business contracts with the board or Brisbane(one team town with strong history in the area)

Yea but we have so many companies from black town out to Penrith

 

[BossleyPanther]

Can 1 company pay multiple players?

Nothing compared to the big business politis can bring in.

They can do what they want as long as it's not associated with the club or set up by the club.
