I think he will too — provided he gets a full preseason under his belt.

I've been told Tambling has got a new 2 year deal.

 

is this the same person who says Hislop has signed a new deal also.

how reliable is the source???

what a effin waste of money this is. Pathetic excuse of an AFL footballer he is

and you're a pathetic excuse for a tiger supporter  

your so welcome now bend over and suck my left testy

[one-eyed]

Leave out the insults ppl and stick to the topic!

Chutney has confirmed

He has 2 years remaining on his contract but it hasn't happened recently - was extended quite some time ago

Ta WP. It makes a mockery of that stupid rumour on BF that Blingers had walked out  .

C'mon Dimma turn RT into a footballer



Otherwise give him the

Tambo goes alright when he is fit.  Owls gonna put his little avian balls on the line here and say....Tambo is worth the bet!  You can all pee and moan at me later on if he is epic fail and gets delisted/traded.

Tambling is the JON of this team and in fact the competition. Weak as pee.

i would select Farmer and Nason before him any day of the week

Tambling, so far, is about 100 games of Afl footy better than JON!

a player should not be measureed on games played as he would've been lucky to play 80 in a descent team.

In that lot of 100 he has played about 10 good games, all at the end of 09

The tripe that he has dished up since drafted has been unnaceptable for a pick 80 let alone pick 4.

I disagree! Rt would probably thrive at another club if it had greater resources than ours! Also, JON played at the same club in the same era as RT so the games measurement still stands!

I have mentioned my views on him as a footballer many times on this forum.

My chances have run out on him but having said that I am happy for him to prove me wrong.

King and Edwards proved most of us wrong this year.

No point in trading him now when he's at his lowest value

I will put it down now that in our Crystal Ball thread for 2011 that I will put Tambling as most improved player. Just hope he recovers from the hip surgery well and can get in a full preseason.

At times this year I thought it was curtains for Ritchie until learning about the injuries and interrupted pre season. Upon reflection, he could not possibly be fit at any stage of this year.
Prior to this year,  he had made steady progress every year since his debut.
Most people rated his '09 ahead of Buddys, people have short memories.
The game against the Eagles last year was incredible, he has the talent, needs the motor and confidence to have a big impact in 2011.
If injury free, i'd expect a significant improvement on this year and a step up from '09.

 But even when he was fine and came to the club he gave us nothing .. No sign of a great player in teh making ...but when he plays he looks like he is in his mid 30's .. shoudl have given him teh boot ages ago.. let Taylor take his spot

[Obelix]

I'm okay with it. I don't think we'll ever class him in the elite bracket like a lot of us expected when he was drafted but I liked his best footy and if he can return to that he'll be a good player for us.

He clearly wasn't suited to the forward line and not many of us knew a great deal about his injury issues so there's every chance he'll come good just yet. Some players take a bit longer than others.

Firstly Taylor plays a completely different position to Tambling so not sure of you you are comparing them
Also Tambo has improved every single year in his career up until this year when he had compartment syndrome surgery and hip surgery.
Remember he came 4th in the B&F last year

you can have more than two black dudes in the same side 

[big tone]

If Richi does this, if Richi does that..... To many if's and buts for a number 4 pick that has been at the club for 6 years.
A really bad decission by the RFC IMO.
We don't even know where to play him after 6 years.
I will go on record and tell you he will never be more than a bloke we all make excusses for.
I'm just hope we trade him out for anything better than pick 40. That is where he is at IMO.
