Is a really good pick-up for the Tigers
Has done everything asked of him in his two games in the Yellow and Black
Will only get better once the structures and game plan become second-nature.

He is a handy pickup. Late in Q4 I yelled out to him how it felt playing for a team that wins. Smile on face.
I was happy when he came over and the last 2 weeks shows how good he is.

Our defence was ok last week, when you are getting killed in the middle it is damned impossible to stop. Today they were very good.
It is a team defence and Tarrant is fitting in pretty well for only 2 games in our team. Looks to be exactly what was on the box - an older experienced defender who can bolster our defence after a couple of retirements and a new crop learning the trade.
Good move to get him and glad he came.

Said this at the time. Given how non-competitive the midfield was in large patches last week, the defence was better than okay in round 1.
Today his game has won me round as he led the defence so well. For a while I thought Astbury was back but with dyed hair! The best complement I can give him!
THought he was too old and slow but as usual I am looking like I am wrong
The player we were hoping to see. Bedrock of the defence yesterday. Huge game from Robbie.
Robbie Tarrant’s smooth Tigerland transition has drawn high praise from one of his new backline teammates, Jayden Short.
“He’s been amazing ever since he’s come to the Club,” Short said on 3AW.
“I love the bloke and I just love having him by my side.
“You just know what he’s going to bring every week. It’s just 100 percent intensity and effort.
“To look behind you and know you have ‘Taz’ there, it’s just amazing.
“I’m very grateful that we were able to get him and that he came across because I’m loving playing with him.”

Playing like a old man. Slow giving away to many holding frees and looks lost at time.
think this one will turn out to be a mistak.

Was brought in to play on the big forwards and kill the aerial contest. He's doing that, and did that for most of yesterday. Unfortunately when the midfield all but gave up applying any pressure, he was on a hiding to nothing. With Grimes out of the game, and Gibcus struggling yesterday, everything just fell apart late.
Agree. Particularly when Grimes went down (not that he was playing well), we were a tall short and it showed.
Nobody could have stopped the silver service King was getting late in the game. Issues were further up the ground.
If not for the Grimes injury and missing midfield he would have toweled up another Key Forward in his first 3 games for us. Look elsewhere. Tarrant ain't the problem. Doing his job and doing it very well actually.
