Whippy won't be on an nrl deal. no chance.
After 4 clubs in 3 years i reckon there's something up with him off field for him to be cut from 4 sides so quickly despite his athletic potential.

Wing is most definitely his best position for us. He's utterly useless at centre, always has been.
He makes decent metres, can finish in the corner and his awful decision making in defence is less exposed out wide.
I was complaining at the time he was extended, there was absolutely no need to extend him for so long so early in his time with us. A few ok performances on the win = 3 year extension. We re-signed a lot of trash in that period of time without players earning the extensions. Naden, Kepaoa, Toa for starters. At least whomever was taking charge of this decisions is no longer with us

TIGERS IN THE BOX SEAT TO LAND JAROME LUAI
BY CHARLES GOODSIR 37 MINUTES AGO
Luai’s current contract will see him remain at the Panthers until the end of the 2024 season but has yet to re-sign with the reigning premiers who have already tabled a two-year offer worth around $800,000 a season
Tigers rookie coach Benji Marshall is reportedly front and centre of the sales pitch to Luai and Riccio believes a decision on the 26-year-old's future is imminent.
“To Wests Tigers fans, I wouldn’t be prepared to say you are going to get a huge present under the Christmas tree in the shape of Jarome Luai just yet,” Riccio said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.
“However, there is a big chance.
“Benji Marshall, in his ability to woo and sell the dream to Luai.
“At a recent house visit to Benji’s place made by Luai, (a deal) is now starting to gain some traction.
“Let’s not forget the relationship of Api Koroisau and Charlie Staines, (both) former Panthers.
“The Wests Tigers have a board meeting this week and it will give some indication on how much they are willing to go all in for Jarome Luai.
“This will pick up and gain some traction in the next 48 to 72 hours.
“There is an increasing confidence in the Wests Tigers (that they’ll get him).”

As if Riccio would know.
The "Tigers fail again" article is presumably already drafted.

Take anything Riccio says with a grain of salt. He said Sullivan was touring Newcastle HQ when he’d already signed with WT.

Defensively, centre is the MOST important position on a football field.
In attack, less so, but it's a key cog.

I would say it's the hardest position to defend but not the most important.
If your team is controlling the ruck well, the ball rarely makes it out to the edge. Melbourne do this very well.

"At a recent house visit to Benji’s place made by Luai". This is new. Benji went to Luai's place and then Luai went to his place. Bit of romance going on methinks

More likely that Riccio got who visited who wrong methinks.
This is the same bloke that said the weather was fine for magic round when it was pissing down biblical rain.

Possibly, though there's more to backline movements than just the speed of the ruck; a well-structured attacking team will alter the depth of play to get to the edges, even if they're not compressing the ruck as they'd like.
Point being, that most points come at the edges, not in the middle, so whilst it's the hardest (I agree), given how high the percentage of that tries come via edge defence systems is, I'd say, particularly as an individual position, it is also the most important, mainly by virtue of the fact that a poor edge (of which centre is the lynchpin), will have the greatest negative impact on points conceded.
48 hours! Must be reading the forum 😂

Olam obviously has more experience and is a big body, but there is a reason Melbourne ain’t playing him. He is on the back end of his career, sick of signing players that are on the way out
