OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[mtd#2]

This discussion is about Luai … not Richo …

Richo is gone man .. months ago now … Luai might be out the door too …

Tell me what you and I as fans should do ?

I actually feel in respect of Luai they can move on quickly … as has been discussed multiple times with you before

We can beach about it on the forum... because no one else gives a shit 😂😂

 

[Oscar Martinez]

lol .., what’s with you and the other bloke strawmanning me over being a HBG acolyte?

I actually went to the fan rally in December .., did you ?

Don't mention the war.
The organisers of that shambles of an event are desperately hoping everyone forgets it ever happened.

 

[Tom Shines]

Sorry mate I was sympathizing with you not attacking you.

Yes I did.

That’s good mate!

You were assuming I was on HBG’s side because I have a difference of opinion over the fact that Luai leaving isn’t the end of the world … funny way to show sympathy !

Hope the venting and crying helps man

Vlandys:
"everyone is treated equally"

He must really think fans are idiots

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

The one good thing about this, is that we will know by the end of the week with whats happening.

Not necessarily he could take up his option with us and sign with them Nov 1.

No I didn’t assume that.

I was just exerting frustration towards some comments I read earlier.

Not about you.

He’s exploring options now.

Will have to stay if we take up the option but come November 1, will test the market unless we pay some stupid price to extend him for a long time.

Again before Richo got sacked - the club looked stable… since then yes our results are great, but the landscape shifts.

If Jarome leaves and other players follow him, none of it helps us retain players.

We had a window. HBG stuffed it. Blew up the club for some idiots who have never had success.

Now we are seeing the fruits of Richos work. They’ll take credit probably, and then it will all fall apart, and we’ll be back where we were.

Unfortunately benji can’t do everything. He’s competing with two new clubs, plus Gus, and he has to coach a side very week.

SM is a good guy but he’s not near the same level as Richo. Shouldn’t even be mentioned intense same breath.

So there is basically no chance of a long term extension before November 30?

Yep - plenty of dumb decisions - but where we came from to where we are presently, we will learn in the not too distant future if pushing Richardson out was the dumbest decision of all.

 

[Wtiga]

I think unless we pay $1m or more per season.

And I think if Jarome goes and the may brothers look at options we will probably extend bula by paying some ridiculous price bc HBG will panic.

That’s logical.

 

[Lestronge]

It would be interesting to know if that did occur would that 6 months of the year still be tax free

Yea probably as you’re still employed in PNG . Thats actually a good point and a big reason why the initial proposal ( which was exactly this 50/50 FNQ / PNG isn’t the way it’s going forward . I dunno man .

Yep.

Then everyone will find another excuse for it.

 

[Telltails]

Do agents get any kickback with getting deals over the line with the Chiefs?

 

[Oscar Martinez]

lol the idiots on here that think we would be in this position if Richo was still here don’t understand or grasp what he was able to do or is able to do as CEO still.

3 premierships (1 in the EL) with 4 teams and I prelim final with another.

Signed all key recruits we have plus got rid of dead wood.

benji can’t be trying to do deals whilst coaching too. Sure he can talk to players but contract negotiations go on and on.

Now that’s he’s left all this instability with bula and Jarome and the may brothers not singed up to what they want etc.

The guy in control now has never run a rugby league club.

And this is what we get.

Oh and btw before he got sacked he was dealing with bula and Romey.

And before the idiots say hbg wasn’t the problem, my cousin is Roger Fabri - and he told me that it derailed bula. It was done before Richo left.

The ex CEO failed to get the Bula deal over the line before he left. He had plenty of time to do it but failed.
He also failed to negotiate an early release for KPP which would've had us in the 8 last year.
He wasn't the messiah.

Now you have zero idea what's going on behind the scenes , even though you're chasing clout pretending to.

Let's just see what plays out before getting our collective panties in a twist. So far Mielekamp has managed to re-sign players that are vital to our future. He's doing a good job.

I know he is because Benji's my father and Robbie's my mother.

That’s logical.

I said at the start of the year we have no experienced recruitment team and a CEO who is new in his role that’s not dealt with salary cap negotiations and management.

Now we have Terrell saying publicly the club “forgot” about his extension, Jarome possibly leaving, Bula with no indication of his future and a lot of key players off contract at the same time. Benji is an NRL head coach he was never going to be able to do it alone. Seemingly no desire for a GM of football either. They needed to be more proactive.

 

[Tired Tiger]

If that's the case why rush over now......

He basically had it done. It would have taken place in December.

He also failed to negotiate an early release for KPP which would've had us in the 8 last year.

Dreaming

He wasn't the messiah.

To us, he was.

Now you have zero idea what's going on behind the scenes , even though you're chasing clout pretending to.

And what if he is right?

Let's just see what plays out before getting our collective panties in a twist. So far Mielekamp has managed to re-sign players that are vital to our future. He's doing a good job.

He's a good guy, but he ain't no richo. He isnt our messiah.

Yeah it was starting to confuse me

KPP has been a great addition but he wasn’t alone taking us to the top 8 haha. He’s doing a good job with what exactly? Doueihi & Twal were never going anywhere else.

I don't know im not Luai, but thats just the rules as they stand. Maybe he wants his future sorted, well sorted just not with us. Not really team first though is it, i guess the rules don't apply to Jerome.
