Who and who? anyone know much about these two? please tell me theyre big hard/straight running forwards rather than sideways running little "forwards". Id give anything for a Dayne Laurie/Moi Moi style player who actually breaks the line. Oh and one that can hold the ball while being tackled.

Tamou is a big Kiwi prop in the Roosters NYC team.

I only remember this because he looks like Alf in his profile pic:

:( yep that sums it up pretty well.

Honestly though, Burns has shown nothing more than his grubby side while at the club, suspended for lengthy periods twice in his first year while showing nothing at all when he IS available.

Id love to see either:

1. ????
6. Bowen (if he is still keen on playing there
7. Thurston
9. Payne
14. Watts

or

1. Bowen
6. Watts
7. Thurston
9. Payne
14. Amos

Can we trade you Jeff Robson for him back?

What's wrong with Dayne Weston?

If you don't want him, we'd be happy to have him back;-)

ACHURCH SIGNS WITH NTH QLD COWBOYS

The North Qld Cowboys have today announced the signing of Wests Tigers Toyota Cup second-rower Mitch Achurch for two years.

Achurch, 20, will join the full-time North Queensland top 25 squad next season.

"The Cowboys made a very good offer to Mitch and with the amount of second-rowers we already have for next season, we couldn't match the offer despite being keen to keep him,'' said Wests Tigers Recruitment Manager Warren McDonnell.

"Mitch will continue to be a vital part of our Toyota Cup team this season. We wish him all the best at the Cowboys.''

Tamou is a great young forward, i am fuming that we are losing him.

This year, Roosters under20's have underachieved, but the prop trio of Tamou, Kennedy and Waqa have been outstanding.

How have Symonds and Towers gone?

Does Earl ever get a game?
