Jarome Luai

[Sully]

Me too. Would love to have him but he signed a contract and he should honour it.

100% agree with honouring his contract.

I think we would benefit from playing the younger guys with Sezar next year to see who is better suited to partner him in 2025 if it does plays out in our favour.

I would like to see the Tigers sign him and put in the press release that Luai has got on the bus...

Adds plenty of spice to an already solid rivalry

Cant complain if he does come early,but if so weve got a truckload of $$ invested in halves next year once u include Douhi and Sezer(and the others weve signed)..that will probably finish us..
..and probably Sezer and Douhi too!

 

[jirskyr]

the last thing we need is Ivan to get one back on us. Taking Luai makes things even

Does not go even close to making it even, unless Luai's departure derails Panthers for the next 5-6 years.

Bit of a wishy washy Clayton's denial

Read that article carefully. The Panthers were clear, but the article actually quotes the journo who broke the story on Fox Sports News. So again News Ltd doing their old favourite by quoting their own journo opinions as the backbone for an article.

It’s much better for us if a large 5 year contract starts from 2024, rather than 2025 with the age factor coming into play.

It would actually turn it into a 6 year deal.

Don't forget Daine Laurie.....

He could be the smokey.
Ready to take Luais position, right now.

he was good at 5/8 this year. But his defence is a bit meh

 

[Tigerboy]

Can we make enough noise that they release him? That’s not to entice Jarome to breach his contract but as other members have stated, see how Ivan copes with a taste and hopefully would actually derail their chances this year. Let’s keep this saga going…

Bad news coming , worst case he is Belmore Bound or we stump up $ 600 now and take him for 2024 , Panthers already paid him $ 150 k and he’s on $ 750 ,

 

[KCTiger2]

I’ve seen a couple of people say something about bad news have I missed something?

Yeah,its convenient for us but if he doesnt come its really another year wasted before the always imminent "rebuild"..Id take him for 24 and let Richo sort it out
That why he gets the big $$!!

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Wouldn't surprise me if Luai made a cheeky comment to ivan about walking out on the Tigers a couple years early, ok for Ivan to comment about Luai,

Why would he want to though? There’s a 4peat on the cards out there. If I was him, I’d happily spend another year out there. It’s all a beat up anyway imo. They are too professionally run.

The article now appears to be different to what I read earlier

That Tom Drdyd bloke on league unlimited who seems to have a good record thinks there's some bad news imminent on Luai 🙁

Never heard of him.

 

[Tigerboy]

Never heard of him.

That would be him/they/them thank you very much.

 

[Tigerboy]

Probably have the surname wrong it's something weird looking like that, give me a minute

You mean that Rob Dyrdek dude?

 

[diedpretty]

Skipped training for a second day haha.
what is he doing, wish he would just relax
and stay there for another year. Ivan or
some1 else must have got him completely
offside about something. Somethings up

Yea - so how come the RLPA haven't stepped in. There is obviously something not right. They couldn't wait to butt in to the training issues we have with Nofo.

I've confused myself again, need to get back on the dementia meds

And less crap bets (the both of us)

DP, I think it was because David contacted
them & there was some concern for his
welfare. I've been told by someone earlier
on that is in the know, that it's an internal
situation. He's upset with them 4 leaking
the signing. That's what I've learned...
