OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

Imagine winning 4 premierships on the bounce and then hearing from a greenhorn 19 year old halves partner that he thinks he won't learn enough while playing next to you.

Forgive the pun but I hope this situation 'galvanises' Luai into showing Galvin what a massive blunder he is making.

Take, I don’t know, let’s say B Marshall from Whakatane, NZ. Did his thing, happy to play second fiddle to Scott Prince until the opportunity/timing was right.

LG has been given a saloon passage into a regular starting halves role in a rapidly improving team with a representative half along side him and one of the all time greats as his coach. He’s basically served no apprenticeship, he got a starting role because we were weak and lacked alternatives. He could have ridden this wave to finals football and who knows what. He’s passed that up for who knows what. A lead role in the Parramatta shitshow? A club who said he wasn’t up to it? It’s amazing his people remember every perceived slight by us but maybe he ends up back there.

I have, but I want that episode. It's like saying Game of thrones just YouTube it instead of watching the red wedding. It's the context I want.

The red wedding was brutal. Even actors on the show said they found that scene hard to watch.

It was implied by Chammas and Weidler that the reason he got the rolls Royce treatment was because he threatened to leave to and asked for releases .
Straight up the only reason he leapt frogged Latu , was because Latu as injured until mid season .

Also just in continuation of this , Sullivan was given first crack , and it was supposed to be Sullivan and Sezer .
Sullivan was soo bad we had to go with Galvin . If Sullivan had played like he is this year .. Galvin spends the year in Flegg , we keep The Large brothers , because Galvin leaves and Fainu is the gun 19 year old everyone is gushing over .
So it’s all Sullivan fault haha !
 
Media mentioned Luai was frustrated with having to change his game to accommodate LG. Are we buying that? Has anyone heard anything specifically to back it up. The eye test does indicate he plays differently to how he was at Penrith but isn’t that what he wanted to do, be the game manager?

Second to that, he might of come to the club to be our HB but I wonder if Benji is happy to try and accommodate this whilst also mindful that he too suffered a heap in his game when moved closer to the action in 2012 at the request of Sheens.
Is Luai back in the 6 and back to the playmaker?
Does this responsibility (game manager) now fall on Doueihi and later Latu to get Luai in positions?

That’s spin from Galvins team . Luai would have been frustrated that he made all these accommodations yet Galvin was still behaving like an ingrate . As would anyone in his position .
 
What are the odds he plays for the blues again?

Based on the performance last year id be inclined to go with Luai and Moses....

But how do you leave Cleary out?

And if you play Cleary, id suggest there's more reason to play Luai as they won 4 premierships together... Plus Moses is a #7 and youd be playing two #7s together...

It isn't an easy decision for Laurie

Cleary is ordinary at the moment. Luai hasn't hit his straps yet. Tbh Luai and Moses should be there because they won last year. Except defence Luai's form isn't up to it at the moment
