OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

So stoked he's a Tiger in 25. If the Olam trade is genuine then I'd expect the club to get that sorted pretty quickly. Still think we will be in the media this year chasing another big fish. We have AFB money laying around, I reckon we are still going to be going crazy in the market with one or two signings for 25 or earlier.

Funny how there’s been no new contract for Best at the nites!

Don't know whether to feel excited or nervous. Jarome for me is either going to be a perfect fit or a massive mistake to sign. His personality is polarising too, but at the same time a drawcard for a lot of NRL players. Don't get me wrong, a lot of fans and media despise Jarome, but in the NRL he is very respected by a lot of players

He's polarizing to opposition fans, im pretty sure most of the panthers fan base loves him or loved him now. He's a draw card theres no one else we could have possibly landed with a bigger profile and in his prime as we have with Luai. I don't think we are in a Josh Reynolds situation with him, its a huge signing make no mistake.

So can this petty Tiger fan, I hope it has ruined Ivan Cleary’s day.

Based on his public comments about Luai, I doubt it. He just wants what is best for Nathan (which is perfectly moral as a father) but on the business side of things at Penrith it would be seen as nepotism and favouritism. This is only compounded by the fact that they are trying to push Jett Cleary into the team long term when there are better options. If there is a downfall at Penrith, it would be an off field scandal with one of the Cleary's. They are the soul of the club now that Luai is gone

We haven't had a grub in a while.

Who was the last? Grub (Josh Reynolds)?
And he rarely even played.

Luai brings the ego, the attitude, the cockiness... get under the opponents skin.

A whole new element our team has lacked.
Exciting.

I don't care if we become the most hated team if we become a great team. Look at the Storm with Smith and Slater, Manly in the early 2010s (and generally), Sharks, and now Penrith. A lot of it is tall poppy syndrome which Aussies are renowned for. All that matters is the team plays for the Tigers fans and fans of other clubs can hate all they like

Praying that injuries don't interrupt Jarome's career like it has with so many players. I don't think he's hit his peak individually (as a team with Penrith yes)

Reynolds wasn’t hated to the level Luai is. Reynolds was just passionate. Luai is a lair
