Is on the market. Crook neck and all, I've thoughts for years that Bellamy would be the one to make this guy world class for Storm.

I'd love to see him down here. Thoughts?

I'd have to say I'd prefer Myles to be honest. ... Tamou has been massively overrated for. .. well, forever.

First choice is to keep what we have though. .. unless some other team decides they want to pay crazy overs for one of our current forwards

Mate, Tamou is a beast. And a bit of a dick as well. That's why he'd fly, literally... under the radar and in our team.

Ditto with all of that. Although we likely could not afford Myles, even if he was willing to take well under market rate.

Didn't we already do that ourselves with Proc?

Don't see it playing out, but would be an awesome signing!

An overrated player doesn't get to play for Australia 10 times, now - does he?
I've dreamed of this guy playing for us for years. Probably won't happen, but stranger things have happened.

But since his efforts in 2013, Tamou's form has slumped ssignificantly.

Myles? God, we are hated enough - pass on that lol

and Tamou would be good but at the cost of who? Someone is going to be saying goodbye and we have alot of great future forwards

Agree with this Nacho.
In Jesse we have arguably the best prop in the league, Mclean is a great prospect and can see his progression following Jesse, give him another season and he will be up there. we then have TLL and Weston who although not world beaters have experience and will be fairly 'cost-effective' If we bring Myles in then we would have to lose one of our forwards to pay his contract as an origin and test 'star'

Who do we lose
Jesse - Hell No!!
Mclean - Hell no to good a prospect
Harris - Starting to show signs of fulfilling his potential.
Proctor - just signed new contract
Funucine - Just signed
Weston - could lose but would not cover Myles wages
TLL - see Weston.
Kenny B - also see Weston - not really done anything for me in the 2 or 3 years he as been in FG
Hinchy - nearing legend status with the club and don't think he would want to go.
Glasby - Again I think this guy has great potential
Then we have great potential un the youngsters/u20 with NAS, Welch, Felise

So if you look into it more

NAS Brit Kaufusi TLL and Weston are all off contract this year

I say resign NAS Kaufusi and Britt and let TLL and Weston go

Tamou is overrated.

Would rather retain the likes of Glasby than Myles. Plus Myles has already laughed off the link to Melbourne anyways.

Maybe I'll revise my thoughts on him. That dropped ball was putrid. (and our reluctance to catching the ball off kicks tonight is going to hurt us.)

Tamou can go to a Sydney club.

Plodder of the highest order.
