OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[mtd#2]

Refs are reluctant to call “held” while the ball carrier is on his feet and or still moving forward.

I can't recall the exact game, but tigers played vs one of the top teams, and I recall the referee calling held VERY early and allowing the opposition to get VERY quick play the balls, resulting in a ridiculous amount of momentum.. comes back again to referees "interpreting the rules"

 

[Demps]

no his dad is not in Prison you are think Hass

He was in prison.
But he turned informant and got looked after.

All that aside, I think the trust needs to be put into Latu to lead this team. Luai has always been 2nd in command and continues to look like that's who he is.

I think Benji needs to sort out plenty regarding his utilisation of all 3 front spine members and even moreso now that he has brought Doueihi into the lock role. Taking Latu off late in yesterday's match would not have been my choice.

Prior to the Luai signing I remember thinking to myself Luai was the player the Panthers would miss the least. Once he signed with us, my tune changed simply because he was a tiger.

 

[Spartan117]

I don't really understand the refs reference?

The other teams are constantly holding us down

Refs to scared to call the holding against the TIGERS.

Refs do hand us the dirty end of the stick ,on most occasions, just my gripe .But if HBG tipped in more .More favors may return , not that the game is corrupt or such

No, I think that other sides are better at it then us and it goes a very long way towards winning

why haven't the x penrith boys brought us up to speed , Surely Bunji is no hypocrite not to listen and endorse

Yeah good question, it seems pretty obvious, maybe it’s players we have, not good enough to get it done

 

[Merlot]

most have played the game since they were 8 yrs old, how they don;t get the machinations of a game being professionals , ?????? wtf

Benji ran out of ideas. we have no kicking game whatso ever we could not pin them in, our ability as a collective unit to pass and draw has not develop at all this year.

I think the 6 again rule is a much more powerful tool in deciding outcomes, particularly in the red zone. Hardly any defence stands up to a 2nd '6 again' in the red zone. Its like a left right 1 2 from a young Tyson.
Its such a momentum changer and yet we have no serious statistics.

So true champion @twentyforty - just watch any game and Voila! The 6 again invariably leads to pressure via momentum and more times than not, a try.
The scoreboard favors the possession.

 

[Bellend]

Sorry that is not correct, the blame is the coaching staff and lack of skills and development.

TO, if we shine a light on our 3 biggest ruck infringers Terrell May, Jerome Luai and Alex Seyfarth, who account for 21 times we were penalised. There’s no way of knowing how many of those infringements resulted in points? Or the field location? Coaches would have that information no doubt.
What we do know is that the referee has the option to see these infringements, like Kliene did a few seasons ago when we were 10mts out from our line, with the clock winding down and he saw an incorrect PTB, awarding a penalty to Broncos , giving them a 1 point win.
OK, our player wasn’t exactly at 90deg, he would have been probably at 85deg.

The 6 again allows the Ref to alter the outcome of the game without the microscope.

No they all obviously know it but I would be surprised if the Bulldogs for example haven't trained harder and smarter on the wrestle, slowing the ruck down, line speed and so on.

However, they do have a better squad to become very good at these aspects of the game

So we are behind on two fronts

Bulldogs have a coach who was involved with Penrith while they won comps , he knows what is required from players and also what is needed to be trained to win , fit to win , we are none of these , we look like we are not coached , not fit , confused ,

Luai is being singled out because he's an easy target being the highest paid player.

Api and Luai are both struggling. Terrell has now come back to the pack after dominating in his first few games. Pole, To'a, Samuela, Royce, Skelton, Staines are all down on form. It's a matter of time before this happens to Turuva and Taylan.

Part of this is because we're losing all the time, but the other part is the standards are not there. I think this is down to coaching but Richo is a lot closer and I'm sure he knows the issue.

People keep talking about our crap roster but it is much better than the Dragons and Flanagan seems to have them competing in most matches.

110% correct in this statement.
