OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[BlackWhiteGold]

I don't think everyone's been shit. Pole hasn't. A quiet game off the bench here or there isn't too bad. Fainu has been very good and dangerous all season except the last 2 games. It is pretty hard to be consistent in a team like this, especially as a rookie

It would help too if we could maintain the same edge combinations for multiple weeks. Without looking it up, I doubt we've had the same edge combos in defence from halves out to wing for a long time.

 

[rugbygoated]

That’s my point. So why are you trying to say they are?

"they’ve all been shit at different times all year". In response to this. I don't think a quiet game or not stepping up in the last placed team equals a 'shit game'.

 

[rugbygoated]

Yep I’m liking the way he is developing. Has a kind of Bruce McGuire style.

I don't mind if he doesn't become the 'pack leader', but I'd love for him to maintain being that reliable efficient forward

My standards are obviously higher than yours.
Carry on.

We almost lost Luai before he got here!

Has he not heard of Pondi?

Nope a shit game is a shit game. I'm not going to deathride players or overcriticise them just for the sake of it

Yeah good point.
We’ll wait until they secure their 4th spoon in a row and their 14th year of missing the finals in a row before we become critical.

Best he could do is turn it into wine.

Haha now you're using extreme examples. I didn't say you couldn't be critical. We are favourites for the spoon and rightly so. Speaking positively about ways we can improve moving forward is not delusional nor is it unwarranted. Being pessimistic in hard times doesn't change things for the better, being positive does

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Luai can't walk on water .....I'm disappointed....

Guess we are getting the watered down version next year.

I am being positive. I’m positive that if we keep relying upon juniors coming through the Western Suburbs and Balmain systems, we will remain at the bottom.
Canterbury are showing us the way. They are not a destination club yet are buying a good roster. We have started, we must continue.

No one can

So what does it matter?

 

[happy_tiger]

No one can

For 6 million bucks I thought we may get some miracles ....just hoping lol 😆

 

[tiger05premier]

For 6 million bucks I thought we may get some Biblical miracles ....just hoping lol 😆

Lol

I hope so too

We deserve it happy

And you know what

He will at least be up there with Ellis as one off our best ever buys

Don’t tell us … tell your QLD mate Richo

I’d just be happy with 20 try assists in his first season !

We have to invest in juniors regardless of results. I agree we need to buy more than what we have. And not guys towards the back end of their careers like Klemmer, or imports who are past their best (Bateman), and certainly not resign guys who don't 100% want to be here in Stefano. Culture can't be bought though. Dogs didn't have that 'culture' they did they have this year, because Critta has brought it along with Curran and other new guys. Marquee players like kikau, mahoney, burton and fox were all very average last year but are excelling with more support and identity. But you also need those juniors who know their area and bleed for the jersey. Kiraz for example

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

I’m just glad they saved our saviour today 😆

 

[Spartan117]

I like Luai's sense of humour.

Luai will be the Wests Tigers greatest signing in the history of the club.
The way he has handled himself the last 12 months, the improvement in his game, the way he has stepped up when Cleary has been injured - we really hit the jackpot here.
