OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

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.

Don’t tell us … tell your QLD mate Richo

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
 
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.
The greatest signing... ever.... really.... you never know... there's not too many signings to choose from I guess.. if Crichton signed he would be the best signing also.. his past 12 months have been much darker... we missed the jack pot there.....

Yes I agree. He has imo overtaken Cleary in the way he has lead the team during Cleary's absence. I recall Gould when he was at the Panthers and Luai played his first NRL game said he was a super talent. I still shake my head that we signed him in front of just about all clubs looking for a half.
 
If you don’t think signing Turuva, Luai and Olam in short time, and convincing Galvin he needs to stay is a massive improvement on the leadership we had, then I can’t convince you.

Personally I’m on the hope train.

It’s not enough … Olam is a croc… Galvin might be out the door … now forwards are their weak spot
