OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

Luai cannot save us. Nor can he win the comp without Cleary. His job is to.help us keep.Galvin and maybe a year or 2 later we can have a real coach or Benji comes good with experience. At this stage. Luai can buy us some time.

He's slowly developing. Just think that if a guy like sean o'sullivan can nail a 2 point field goal, why can't he? He's still not in main character syndrome. Even though he says he wants to be, his actions are not fully complete

Maybe Edward’s is next in line for field goals as he is for conversions when Nathan isn’t on the field.
You don’t have to be the one kicking the goal’s to be the controller of the team.
What I’ve seen when Nathan isn’t around Luai steps up.

Fair comment, I thought much the same. possibly one of the reasons he was better suited to 6?
What I absolutely loved about his game towards the end of his career, was this attacking kick to the corner. He had developed the skill to make the ball take a turn to advantage the winger as it bounced. Don’t know if it worked for him left side but right side it was awesome.

Yeah those kicks were pretty good.

His worst kick (because of the implications) lives rent free in my mind..

Preliminary final vs the Dragons, the game was square, roughly 7 minutes to go and he kicks it out on the full. It gave the Dragons the ball in good field position, they kicked a field goal and went through to the GF and won that too.

To be fair to Benji, there aren't many good kickers in the field of play. The number of balls that go straight to fullbacks and wingers on the full, far outweigh those that find space.

Oh no doubt he's stepped up as an on field general. But if he doesn't step up to take field goals, goal-kicking etc., 40-20s, he's not worth the million next year. If have someone like Galvin kicking field goals ahead of him he's a waste of money. Seems like he doesn't even try at times
 
Since he signed with us I have watched him with interest. Luai has impressed me with his demeanor both on and off the field. I believe that he can help lift us and that his infectious character can rub off on the young guys. I am confident that he will be a huge influence.
I really hope that he takes up the challenge and shows everyone what he can do.
What is important is that the club surrounds him with runners and hard workers and fills the remaining spots with competitors and winners.

I'm calling this out.

How many Premiereship rings does Galvin have? How many
How many finals has Galvin played?

Luai has steer'd Penrith at 7 and won in their system with their team.
As talented as Galvin is, he has lost in our system with our team.

Were a low scoring, poor defending mess.

I'm not blaming Galvin, but I am saying if we are above 12th on the ladder next year. That would be due to Luai.

And when he gets frustrated he’ll have six million reasons to have patience. Hopefully? Just a thought..it took Brooks a long time to run out of patience and he was a local junior.

Still need a forward pack to set a foundation for him every week to get him in good field position
That is still the big concern ...think we are still at the bare minimum short 2 props and a back rower

This x 100. Luai will make a huge diffrence. Without a forward pack it will just be sporadic, a game here a game there where he can show his class. Hoping Richo has his phone burning looking for our forward replacements, we don't need any big name players we just need what we havnt had in ages some workaholics who don't give a toss about anything but getting a job done.
