OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

BAGNF05 said:
It would be very Wests Tigers to let this go on and on just like happened with Moses THIS YEAR. I’m not for deadlines but a plan B needs to be in the pipeline and initiated as soon as we get a whiff we’re just being used to up the rent.

The status quo is the plan b.

Assuming we would push for an early release we must have a way of freeing up around $1 million in the cap. We can’t legally play that far beneath the cap, so there should be alternative views on how to improve the roster by that dollar value.

They will likely relook at Olam or try and get AFB, if none of that happens they will just front load guys like we do every season.

Yep, front load players and sack the guy with the clipboard who’s hamstrung by those very decisions.

i have absolutely no mail on this
but i have a feeling that luai has signed with us and we are in day 3 or 4 of the 10 day clause

penrith looking to up their offer (imo means he has given them an answer)

Yeah, I wanted to believe that too. But Penrith made a comment about not having to decide before preseason, which makes me think it's not on a timer yet.

I would guess he would say playing with long established mates or proving he can win outside the Penrith system are the two motivators.

You may be right…’family’ could equate to ‘family’s financial security.’ Thinking about it , I’m like Kamahl, I was definitely a YES to start with, then I became a slightly informed NO, Now I’m returning to a better informed YES! 😃
 
always have to take these things with a grain of salt, but Ciraldo was on both BSB and SEN this morning and confirmed that the Dogs had not tabled a formal offer for Luai.

he said the Dogs are always in the market for quality players and they have the space to accommodate said players, but indicated the long term goal is to bring players thru the pathways and if they pull off big name signings that's great but they're also happy with what they're building.

Hard lie… they never use their juniors.. always look to sign players because how desperate they are.

I wouldn’t read too much into that. Maybe they don’t want to appear weak if Luai was to turn them down. Never take what a club says publicly as gospel. Bennett was/is a master at that. Would say till he was blue in the face that he had shown no interest in a player, only to announce his signing a week later. He’s even said he does it as to not interfere with the negotiations.

Don't believe a thing that comes out from his mouth, he has been coached on the media by the biggest BS artist of all time - Gus

It would actually surprise me re Luai for the Bulldogs to go all in on him for what they need squad wise. If Gus said it then we could expect signing next week.

AFB / Stefano is their big play.

If only some of our clowns would do the same.

He said they didn't want to poach Panthers players. Does he not realise their stars are all from the panthers?

Such absurd spin
