OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[joshc-e23]

Gone for all money. You don't tour facilities in PNG at the height of the season unless it's a serious decision you're planning to make. Shit for his young kids though. Seriously tight security

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Absolute rort of a concept this team.

 

[Fish88]

Whilst would obviously be a loss it wouldn’t ruin us like in the past if someone this big left. Our culture has shifted and provided that continues we would be okay.

 

[batboy]

If it means Jarome would make an extra $1-$1.5million more after tax, I wouldnt begrudge him.

People talking about the tax breaks like NRL players aren’t negative geared to the hilt throughout their career…
I’d be surprised if Luai was paying much more tax than anyone here

 

[wstigers11]

This club can’t keep anyone !!!!!!!! I guess Jahream is leaving too

 

[Telltails]

We have got some talent coming through that need to have a pathway or we risk losing them. Id say Benji would be very philosophical if Jarome took that path in 2O28.

Whether you are negatively geared or not, an extra $1.5million cash injection isnt going to hurt anyone. We all want to live comfortably and blokes like Luai dont have much of a career once the game is finished.

 

[Demps]

Is anyone actually surprised?
With his clauses and whatnot.

I think Benji woukd give the blessing, knowing we have other capable options.

 

[Glenji95]

Think most are just afraid of the potential domino effect should he leave. If he does are Turuva, Hunt, the May bros etc will they leave as well if he goes? You hope not but we should also be prepared.

 

[oxycon]

I hope the media circus doesn’t derail our season

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

I can’t begrudge any player for even considering it given the money that they stand to earn by potentially going there. But from Jaromes perspective given all he’s preached is team first & the fact he’s the captain of the club it’s pretty selfish to be doing all this now knowing that it could potentially destabilise our best start in years.

They’re not all gonna go. Calm your farm.

I wouldnt be suprised if he is partly checking it out for others who won't have the luxury of being flown over to view the facilities.

I dont think it'll be an easy decision for Luai... he will want to win something here before he leaves.

 

[upthetigers]

Luai has done what he's needed to at the club.

I honestly wouldn't be fussed if he pisses off.

In terms of onfield performance he wouldn't be hard to replace.

Douhie is a better 5/8 and if Madden isn't consistent we have Latu.

Idk, I’m sure he’ll get a media gig somewhere with his personality. If wax statues like Hindmarsh and Fletcher can get an audience, he’ll have no trouble.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

Also Javon and Douehi in the halves. Its our strongest position going forward.

Money could be used to retain May's, Fainus, Turuva all of whom will want more $$ going forward especially how we are playing. On field he is replaceable but he has brought such an attitude across the club which we would miss and has helped attract players.

If Romey does go surely Tito follows him?

 

[Glenji95]

They’re not all gonna go. Calm your farm.

I’m good. I’m just saying it’s a possibility.

 

[wstigers11]

Yep
No wonder they haven’t signed Turuva Mays & Bula

 

[Wezt]

good news if true, he’s not providing much

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

tax free dollars for Luai
they can offer 1 million and he makes good cash
he has won 4 comps

disappointing if he goes but best to know early so we can keep madden and latu
