Jarome Luai

Three words and a name. Off the books, Phil Rothfield-Laundy-Gould.

LOL

They can but the best we have wrapped up. Fainu, Galvin are signed multi year deals that carry over for 2-3yrs into Luai deal.

For once we have half depth forming lets hope the kids make the jump up

Yep all the ones who are leaving , like your Israel Ogden types , are rated but the jury is very much out on them . Basically the way I would put it 3rd or 4th round draft picks .
We have resigned all our tier 1 talent , even if there appears to be a lot of overlap at the moment , as all the best juniors tend to b spine players in lower grades , because getting your best players with the footy in thier hands is the best way to win .
But I can see Galvin in the centres/ back row , I think Large is already going to be a great centre . Sullivan has 3 years on Fainu , so there’s heaps of time for Fainu , and not so much for Sullivan .
And all the locks we have in the joint Lualiii , Faagatu , Matamua should hopefully mean we develop a great one out of those 3 .
Miller could be anything , If Pole can just work on his contact metres and leg drive , I mean he could be real special , as that’s the only thing I see in his game that is obviously not where it could be . Uto just needs to realise he’s the biggest man on the field , once that happens he will be in the Aus squad I reckon .
We have completely changed our prototype winger from the nofa type , the big tall rangy , athletic type . We have signed 4 of them in the last 6 months , so we will see who can develop there , and yes Bula needs to work on hole recognition and assessing numbers , otherwise he’s obviously special .
Some times , when you think it’s going to be 2-3 years away it happens the next year on sport .
Also to finish I’m pretty sure i read that luai was a huge tigers supporter growing up , so I wonder how much that factored into his thinking .

A ridiculously long contract and from 2025…. A lot can happen in a year. Surely WT try and get him for 2024

 

[Buttface]

Chuck in whoever is the best out of Fainu, Sullivan , Galvin , with AD to the centres and maybe Galvin as well . I guess 24 will be a best man wins year . And both the kids have at least 2 years before it’s an absolute must for them to be in grade .
I’m not sold on Luai , but 1.2 for the current NSW 6 , who is 2 years younger than Moses , I mean that’s not a bad deal right there .

AD can’t play centre, FB, 5/8, Lock or defence of any kind and should be banned from playing NRL at our club.

Penrith’s got the best rehab staff in the comp. let him sort his shoulder there.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

Does this mean the 10 day cooling off period has expired or is this just journo’s opinions again?

It was Tuesday

 

[Tom Shines]

Someone posted 250k of the 1.2m was third party a few weeks back.

If that was Harry, and he becomes major sponsor, do we have a problem? Hypothetically speaking.

“Someone posted “ so it must be true right ?

Hope Harry has met him already and he has passed his sniff test …. because apparently this is a requirement for him ..

 

[Hbom]

Signed or expired?

 

[Tcat]

One things for sure, Luai will lead this team around the park and bark at our forwards. Something our previous half never did. Confidence is what this team needs and Luai will certainly bring it.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

Signed or expired?

Expired

Three days late fellas....sorry about that but the board sacking was the spanner in the works.

That’s probably better than your Richo 6mth rumor crap……

The guy is 26. Ear to the ground I'm hearing it might be for 2024, but if it doesnt happen and he comes in 2025 he will be playing for us until he is 33. At 28-32 he will be in his absolute prime as a half, maturity and brains. 5 years for 6 mill to secure one of the top 10 playmakers in the world is peanuts. They are paying Nofo'idea $500k to whinge on the wing. What were they paying Brooks a year to tank every game? 5 years @ 6 mill is a steal.

What are you hearing about 24 Winston?

Hey Kul, why do I always have "Report, Edit and Delete" still left on after my comments?
Don't see it anywhere else?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Maybe the Dogs plan all along was a to be a smokescreen to drive our price up? 🤔

I wouldn't say it's a steal, compared to the numbers that gets thrown around in the media for other players, but it's not massively inflated or anything like that. I like luai a lot more than Moses, who was reportedly going to get a similar contract. I think Luai, being better defensively and not as big a sook is a much better fit for us.

If we've signed him, it's brilliant for the club. Still hopefully able to build a better squad around him because, like any half, he'll struggle if his side is no good.

Maybe … Looks like the Tigers (inadvertently) have driven up the price that AFB will get from St George

A mate of a mate of a mate that knows someones step uncle and once spoke to Benjis cousin has told me Luai was not coming at all until Richo got on the phone. Richo wanted it immediately but was happy to get him if 25 was the only way. Penrith are blocking him as they were that arrogant they thought he would stay. They may let him go if we can sweeten the deal with a player swap. Tigers will not let Galvin go. So its looking like 25 but some deal might still happen. With Richos leadership there will be no more prostituting ourselves to get any deal done, its the Tigers way or the highway.
