OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[NT_Tiger]

Read said on 360 biggest concern is who follows Jarome with Turuva & May’s off contract

Between read and weasesler we can anticipate as much incoming destabilisation BS as they can dream up.

Maybe one day the club will be able to ignore the media crap ?

 

[wstigers11]

So he is actually trying to make this a bigger story that will stay in the spotlight longer ? Hard to fathom

It’s a fair concern because people do follow him

They followed him here ..PNG is a different story …it’s not for everybody regardless of money ..

Watching Terrell May’s pod every week … I can’t see him living over there in a resort/ compound

 

[Fainu Brothers]

$600M is a ridiculous sum to start an NRL franchise. Not paying income tax in a foreign jurisdiction when still a resident is not easy. Will be interesting to see if it’s really as tax free as being made out or whether the govt will allow it as part of their handout.

Its not for football, its to stop a nation who has been giving money to all the pacific nations.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

If romey goes, we got him for next year. He will be committed to trying to get a ring and same at the chiefs! Latu will be more than ready!! Plus plenty of cap to pay mays and fainus. Douhei and twal might need upgrades the way they are playing

Hope the club is smart enough to lock
Them up to not run the risk

PNG was asked what it would take to keep them on the side of the West … they said an NRL team … bit hard for China to give them that 😂…

The NRL said show me the money

 

[SeanT]

I'm sorry about the PNG team but what happens if they win? How could it be legit when they get a bigger cap? Any other comp and they would get sued.

I’m sure they will try their best … it’s a free country at the end of the day though ..

I don’t really know why Turuva and May would want to leave this club next year … they haven’t won 4 Premierships like Luai has

The biggest comp in the world is the EPL that gets won by one of the same three teams every year ,,,

Yeah absolutely..
All jokes aside, Jerome loves Benji,sure probably loves money more ,BUT don't think we would leave and encourage others to follow and totally derail everything, especially after how vocal he was about Galvin.And co captain Api committed with interest from the Bears

Highest bidder perhaps

Gentle reminder this would not have been close to happening if HBG did not suddenly create instability and sack Richo.

I don’t think that played a part whatsoever.
He came here for good money as a place holder for this potential or maybe an English payday.
This has worked out perfectly for him.

I’m sure he will do what he thinks is best for himself ,,.I doubt Benji thinks it’s the end of the world and gunna derail anything if he leaves ..

Might be another Sydney club…wouldn’t be the first time

 

[crazycat]

Great post, exactly how it should’ve gone down, imo. Jarome even offered to come off the bench, by all accounts, but Benji wouldn’t hear of it. Probably something to do with his big price tag! If Luai himself could see how much better Madden steered the team at half, then I think Benji needs to listen.

It's not Luai's big price tag.

It's his leadership. We have been here before with Farah and others.
We definately need Madden at Batman/Halfback. Unsure if you put Luai at 5/8 and Doueihi at Center or put Luai at lock/halfback with Madden/AD at halfback/5-8.

^and I realise none of these positions are ideal. You can't have Luai on the bench as club captain and off field leader. I am just trying to think how you get Madden/AD/Luai into two positions.

What were doing at the moment is working. Luai has been missing from that, yet Luai is a class player and has plenty of Grand final experience. It's not an unearned big price tag.

So it's just Tigers players who may go to PNG ? Read is Moses mouthpiece and would do anything to destabilise the club

 

[gregjm87]

Won’t surprise me if in a couple years, they’re based in far north Qld and just travel to PNG to play home games. Maybe a training session or two. GWS were supposed to be based in Blacktown originally. That was the whole purpose of the second Sydney AFL team. They lasted in Blacktown, maybe a year. I don’t think enough NRL players will want to live there, regardless of the tax rorts .

GWS didn't even last the year. They went from based in Blacktown to training in Blacktown but playing at Homebush to based in Homebush all before a ball was kicked.

Yep pretty much. Apparently also club & Bula’s price tag is too far apart no doubt that’s come from Moses.
