OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[GNR4LIFE]

He's a half, not a prop.

He'll play.

The main issue is the long flight home. That will be the main factor whether players back up or not. A lot won’t.

I had no idea that the match was in Perth until I searched upon seeing your post. To think that for decades it was something that I looked forward to, yet it has waned to the point that I hardly ever watch unless a tigers player is involved.

I didn’t even know myself till last week

Be surprised if he played Friday would be a massive effort if he did, if he lead us to a win against the Raiders would get hero status - I doubt he gets a flight out until Thursday & wouldn’t land until lunchtime/afternoon Thursday at best.

The Warriors game might be different with us playing Sunday.

Playing Sunday and not a 5 hour flight afterwards.

Mbye for Maroons as well.

Forgot about Teddy.

Scott Prince ??

Only about 4 hours odd of flight time coming back from Perth with the almost constant strong Westerlies at altitude making it an hour or so shorter than the journey there, so not too bad and only an hour more than Auckland.

It shouldn't be very taxing at all if sleeping in Qantas business, which have been basically full flat for a decade or so now on that route.

He'll probably fly out after the game, be back at his home early Thursday morning.

I think he may play one half for us next Friday, at best.

The NSW team flying in a private jet to Perth so I would suspect the same coming home.
Probably served caviar a well.

Yeah reminds me of an old Johnny Cash song (probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars) as well, the working class can kiss my A...

I'd be putting some sneaky money on the Dolphins making the 8. On a good run of form with a pretty decent, underrated team.

Your probably onto something here, but the comp is so close this year.. and who knows which team turns a corner this week (wouldn't it be great if it was tigers)

Dolphins run home:

Knights
Rabbits
Sharks
Cowboys
Roosters
Broncos
Manly
Titans
Raiders

+ 2 byes....

Roosters have a tough run
Can't see broncos making it - they play too many top 6 sides and have just 1 bye left... Then the Panthers and cowboys are just below them..

 

[Spartan117]

Good news.

Jerome Luai fined and free to play for the Tigers

 

[liltiger]

Good news.

Jerome Luai fined and free to play for the Tigers

$4000, it's times like these I'm glad we have Jerome and not Matterson

Good news.

Was really worried about this - so glad it's just a fine

 

[tig_prmz]

Confused about this. Either it's an eye gouge or nothing.

I think even if he fights it, it's a bigger fine, not a suspension.

So may as well fight it. You don't want priors.

This is what I’m asking. What was he fined for?

 

[TheClaws]

Manly & the Broncos to miss the 8. 😉

St George are falling away. Cowboys are not far away. Souths too.

Parra without Moses is literally taking away their hope.

Titans possibly win a couple- they are not as bad as the results.

Roosters, Dolphins, Tigers & Knights will be fighting to push into contention.

Raiders to finish 1st & play the Storm in the GF. 😉

Everyone keeps writing Parra off now that Moses is injured, however I actually think the main improvement for them was when Dylan Walker joined. As soon as he comes on, they start playing much more direct and look threatening in attack.

unnecessary rough contact to the face...or something along those lines.

Cotter actually looked quite handsome after the game. He should send some flowers and chocolates to Jerome.
