OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[SeanT]

Thanks for your feedback, what about all in at Leichhardt and play 3 in Dodge City.
Only kidding, life was simple when our team(s) had one ground eh.
Does anyone have stats on Dragons between Kogarah and the Gong ? Just a point of comparison that might make interesting reading.

Dont know. By making cambeltown our home ground we can at least have an identity. This team still doesnt. Another negative agaonst the previous admiinistration.

We hVe struggled but i cant imagine a high profile player like him not being able to atttact sponsors who can put forward a TPA. If they have put all of his salary on the cap then they havnt done their job properly.

Maybe Marshall had some former contacts that used to kick in TPAs when he was the Eye of the Tiger?

 

[dazza65]

I think we are the ones in the wrong here, without a doubt.

Yes, even before this instance, I really hate the photoshopped pictures of players, who have never played for the club, being pushed online in the clubs colours. Stupid idea whoever started it. Wait till he actually wears/earns the colours. I have no issue with Luai being promoted as a signing in a penrith jersey, or a Blues jersey Or no jersey.
having said that, if it pisses Cleary off then it’s done it’s job. Lol.

Man management is an important means to an end ie.understanding and extracting the best from your team, not an end unto itself.
How effective he is will be measured by results, as it should be !

Players seem to want to play with him though and are signing up.

First Api, then Stefs upgrade non get out clause, Luai and others.

I suppose in life you have to be able to get others to work for you, play with you, fight for you and be with you.

Then, your half way in. 🙂

Whilst I do agree with this statement I'd say they have done well to include even 50K in TPA. Certainly not 2-300k.

I must have missed something, when did Utoikamanu upgrade and remove clause?

It would seem that way MM.
I’m hopeful he can get them doing all those things, and more.

Straight after Benji signed and Api resigned.

Nothing on google, last reports of extension Jan 22.

 

[Holden]

Not confirmed - Stef just mentioned he would be waive his clause in the media.

They took it down and replaced it with him in NSW gear. Funny thing is the new pic also has Koroisau in it just to shove it a bit further up penriff. I love it. Stuff being the nice guys - its about time the club had some balls.

One of Richo's points in this morning's interview was that he wanted to change how we market ourselves.
I have a feeling he may not have been happy with the initial post and that's why it changed.

 

[Needaname]

It had to be premeditated right. Like your looking for photos of Luai to make your press statement and NONE of them would have him wearing a Tigers jersey.
Just stupid stupid shit. Still some idiots to get out of the club!

 

[liltiger]

The jury on Marshall as a tactician is still out, but as far as a man manager is concerned, he looks like a 10/10. Not only a charismatic player, but a charismatic personality.

As long as his assistants are the ones who can sort out the tactical side of things then all Benji needs to do is be a man manager like Bennett.

If that's what he ment then I disagree. Reason being he hasn't been in the joint long enough to understand the rivalry between us and the Panthers. I like we photoshopped Luai, stuff Penrith. Richo needs to understand a reason we have 2 wooden spoons is because Ivan knifed us and left us with a busted salary cap, took off to Penrith where he won 3 titles all the while we were here trying to recover from the damage he had done to our club winning 2 wooden spoons in the process. If I was the ceo I'd be rubbing it in subtly in a hope to destabilise their roster for the upcoming season. Yesterday's pic helps play into the massive local rivalry that's building between our two clubs.

Luai may not have appreciated it. He has a year with Penrith supporters knowing he is leaving he doesn't need a vision of him in our jersey until he he is done. Out of respect for him It was a bad judgement call. It was a stupid decision in my view and totally unnecessary and I hope someone is called out for it.

Given Richo and his Sons provide a digital platform to a number of clubs I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes down this path. Conflict of interest? Who knows but probably for the best. Our media department is still amature hour.

The fact they took it down means they knew they were wrong.

 

[tig_prmz]

They poached our coach with two years to run on a contract and you think they are justified in having a sook about signing a player within the rules of engagement and posting a confirmation?

What's your dealers name, I need to get on that.

This convo is about a Photoshopped image not Cleary.

He left 5 years ago, let's move on.

It's part of the rivalry between two rival clubs, just like the image yesterday it just adds another chapter to it.

Didn't know that.

Albeit different, keeps up the Hagi tradition.
