OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Tired Tiger]

Have you ever said no to a payrise?
I doubt it

Many but you are free to make your own assumptions.

I'm fine with him going just don't pretend it's because we are underpaying him.

Half the forum says he isn't worth 1.2 and another good chunk want Mr 1.2 on the bench.

Yet all of a sudden he is worth 3 X as much ...

Well you tell me which one it is .....

 

[innsaneink]

I think Jarome is in the category that dose, he is his own man and can do whatever he wants.

He just needs to own it and stop all the BS

This has been massively disrespectful and destabilizing to the club, Benji and the fans.

THats his true legacy at the tigers.

Mate thats just emotion talking

Sleep it off bro

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

it looks bad he is leaving in 2028 but as others have said it is 1.2 million we can spend elsewhere.
As some have said we need to pick a target for 2028 and go for a big fish.

 

[Tired Tiger]

I have never seen a fanbase so happy to see their only marquee signing leave .... That really says it all.....

he has played about as many semi final games as your man Adam so far

 

[innsaneink]

I wonder if the Chiefs will go to all the expense they outlayed on Luai to all the other potential recruits theyre looking to sign?

Doubt theyll want any Dragons players, Wahs have the bye next week....will we see any of their off contract players being wooed with private jets etc

 

[Wiz]

If I was an NRL player contemplating going to the Chiefs I would want an iron clad tax ruling from the ATO about exactly what the conditions are relating to the tax situation.

They're a bunch of snakes 🐍🐍🐍 and I wouldn't want to get burnt on one of their technicalities.

There was a segment on SEN about this today (Tuesday). You can’t be a resident of Aus for tax purposes which means you must sell your house and close your bank accounts. Must leave for at least 2 years (but can visit). A bit of other stuff I can’t remember.

 

[mtd#2]

Yep. I reckon every single player, coach, and assistant will leave.
Oh My God !!!!! we'll have no team left !!!!!!
And it's AAALLLLL HBG's fault.
My whackjob theories that I moronically transform into reality will come true "If we lose them then what do we have left mate? We were onto a good thing. Now we are back to the scrapheap ".

Ignoring the direct questions posed to you and pivoting, where have I seen that before.

You mentioned evidence and facts.

I asked you what evidence and facts you had after the fallout in december. We were told it would all come to light.

Well, nothing has been revealed.. except that multiple player contract negotiations have been impacted as a result of what happened.

So tell me champ, where am I wrong?
What information do you have to share with the rest of us that paints December and whats happened since in a good light?

Educate me, wise one.

P.S. I have said id be their biggest advocate if they did things right. I dont have a grudge or agenda, I just dont think they are motivated by the best interest of the joint venture. The love of legacy with legacy management bring legacy issues.

If wests tigers were a tech company, theyd have folded by now.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

he has played about as many semi final games as your man Adam so far

lol however hoping that changes this year

They can only talk to players off contract this year until October 1 when they can talk to players off contract in 2027

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Riccio said on 1080 that the big reason he signed was he got To pick his own team . If there’s any truth to that I’m having serious conversations with Chammas and luai, about how he’s not a chiefs player until nov1 2027, and therefore his only priority is the wests tigers .

It’s a big issue that he’s potentially in the ear of all our players - the Mays, Turuva and others off contract after 2027
If Benji hears of one inappropriate conversation he might not make it
Hopefully he does the right thing but if we lose any there will undoubtedly be some suspicion

 

[426Tlgerland]

Luai to have his team in 2028
Bulla
Brian T
Turuva
May snr
May jnr
Luai
Burton
Martin
Yoe
Leota
Kenny
Just to start off , it could happen and the Tigers really need to secure current players like the Mays , Sam F , Turuva , I just hope Benji is allowed to get this done and HBG stay away from it as we have been slow at securing May Snr and Bulla

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

if png was not tax free dollars they would not have gone close to getting luai, neither would have any other nrl team at 1.2 million

It’s a ridiculous situation
The Australian government bankrolls PVLs dream and the PNG government subsidise it
What a mess, the playing field is leaning so heavy it could tip into the Torres Strait

 

[Tigerwould]

Looking off what's available;
How's this for a potential chiefs team?

1. Chevy Stewart
2. Brian To'o
3. Isaac Tago
4. Zac Laybutt
5. Alex Johnston
6. Jarome Luai
7. Jett Cleary
8. Jackson Ford
9. Mitchell Kenny
10. Junior Paulo
11. Liam Martin
12. Jermaine McCewan
13. Connor Watson

14. Trent Toelau
15. Luron Patea
16. Lazarus Vaalepu
17. Cooper Bai

Hopefully it doesn’t affect one team (like Penrith or the WTs) more than the rest of the comp. Like Manly poaching John Dorahy, Les Boyd, and Ray Brown from the Magpies back in the day.
One player I can’t see joining Luai in PNG is Galvin. Bulldogs are safe with him.

 

[Tito Santana]

I think all clubs should relocate to PNG so it is a level playing field.

Sorted.

Everyone can all live in a compound like COVID and get tax free pay.

Oh Tito - you’ve done it again!
