Jarome Luai

I can kind of understand the sentiment but I'm sorry, who are you to say quit the personal branding. The average career for a first grader lasts 43 games. Players have every right to hype themselves up in order to secure brand deals and better contracts, and honestly good on them for doing it.

You're are right when you say that 20 years ago nobody cared what you or anyone else did, but that doesn't mean you didn't have any self interest or ego. Remember Michael Jordan? I am sure you do! Well, guess what he was doing 20 years ago? Living off his own personal brand. You know 30 years ago the "Be like Mike" Gatorade advertisement aired as well. It's weird you have turned this into some sort of generational thing when this was even more commonplace in your generation, minus the social media.

The highlighted text made me smile. I'm about to pull up stumps on 44 years of full-time work. I'm sure others are in a similar situation or have already retired.

Kids loved Benji too, and he wasn’t a poser on social media. Kids support the Panthers cos they always win. It’s that simple.

I live in Glenmore Park..all I see are panthers jerseys. I hate the panthers.

I’ll give it to them. I’m old enough to remember all the decades the Panthers struggled as perennial also rans, chocolate soldiers and all, always melting under pressure. I grew up supporting Wests and always had a soft spot for Penrith, so I don’t begrudge their success now.

They had to tear our club apart to do that, but hey, good for them.

i reckon Luai aint coming.

Panthers boss pretty confident he'll stay.

Let's see.

OMG lol, if he stays. And this whole forum has been let down again by the club chasing a marquee player.

Luai not confirming hes signed with us yet is like Austin Powers not signing off on his Swedish made penis enlarger - just sign the form you clown.

 

[Tito Santana]

Yep, Penrith are red hot.
I see so many kids wearing their jerseys & they've probably never been anywhere near Penrith.

They're winning and they have rock star like players in the team like Nathan, Luai, Brian, amongst others.

I remember in 2012 all the kids wanted to be Benny Barba but it's Penrith these days.

Wasn't having a crack at you.
I actually agree....
Big fish in small pond.
Heavy Americanised inspiration.

Time for Tom Brady (Luai) to leave the Patriots and try his luck elsewhere 😉

Yeah I know a whole bunch of knobs that go for Canberra and Penrith when they jumped on board in the early 90s. Reiterating that they are knobs and I don’t like these people.

Tigers supporters are the best people to marry - stick to you through thick and thin. That’s perseverance and passion.

He will have too many suitors, including premiership contenders no doubt. I doubt we go close on that one.

I’d be more let down if they weren’t chasing marquee players.

If we get Luai , we should then go 110 % for AFB. This year and seal a deal , do a guy and remove others later on as season progresses , see who is having a go win loose or draw
AD and Noffa coin would go well into the deal $ 1 million approx

I think Luai is a good example of how the brash, bravado “look at me” personality that’s the norm in the US, sticks out like a sore thumb. Over there, he’s a dime a dozen. In Australia our culture is completely different. Though, there is a younger generation who are trying to make that the norm here as well.

I blame the kids as well.

Is that thing real - just asking for a friend.

I hope we don't get AFB. I like him but if we get him he will be 30 in 25 and it'd be a marquee contract.

If we don't get him it's cool. We have Sullivan, Fainu, Sezer and Galvin coming though. I'd prefer we get him but if not no need to get worked up.

 

[Todd Packer]

None of it matters.
Whoever ends up wearing Tigers' jerseys so be it. Whatever will happen will happen and it will all happen again the next year.
After that happening over and over we all end as dust anyway.

Thankfully. Douhie needs an ego check. Wants play 5/8th but does little to show he can play it.

His defence is rubbish. Attack so slow.

IF he played centre and ripped in defence he wouldnt be bad. Cant see him doing it though. Another Mbye.

And? Thought he was the best prop in the game last year. Brtter than Haas.

Jean Van De Velde famously said after losing the Open Championship after leading by 3 shots going into the 72nd hole in 1999 “Who will remember in 100 years“. He’s not wrong.

I'm worried a guy at the back end of his career especially a prop on huge dollars won't work out. I'd say the risk is too high.
