OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

An interesting question from now is how much latitude does WT give Luai in promoting and running around doing Port Moresby club things inc recruitment activity (and he will be, he is a marque signing) vs WT stuff. Also as a side note do we have a similar issue as with Cameron Ciraldo 'not poaching any Penrith players once he signed with Bulldogs'? Are we asking any protection from poaching players via Luai's word in ear?

That’s my only concern

Why would he be doing anything for PNG while contracted to us?

Did he promote us or recruit for us while still contracted at Penrith despite signing for us in late 23?

Surely thats a conflict of interest and Id think JL is professional enough not to even think of this
 
Yeah, he still reposted it. He wouldn’t want to go over there without any good players so he’ll be in everyone’s ear, legally or not. Unprecedented circumstances right in the thick of our camp
So should we worry about him leaving us and joining them early? 🤔

We will see. No doubt things will be done professionally and honourably as I trust Luai but a new club starting up and requiring players to sign on he will be being asked. Just my opinion. 🙂

There could be a possibility of WT and Luai and PNG talking about releasing him early- mid 2027 if it suits WT and we have his position fillable from within existing squad and he and PNG want to concentrate on getting ready for 2028. It would not be the end of the world
 
Isaiah Yeo says he is open minded about a move

Parras Jack Williams is on their Radar

It is understood that Brian To’o, Connor Watson, Gairo Voro, Jesse Ramien, Joseph Manu, Liam Martin, CameronMcInnes, Mitch Kenny and Xavier Coates have also been linked with a potential move to the PNG Chiefs.
 
The png government funding is locked in for 10 years after that the federal government at the time could elect to reverse the png chiefs funding.
I think the contract says the Australian government can pull future funding at any time during the ten year period. In case of fraud, Chinese involvement etc I suspect.
 
Mate, all Im saying is next season may be very fluid on the Luai front. If WT have the replacement for him already on roster there must be thought on an earlier shift, if the situation is there. Saving some or all of $1.2m or thereabouts in 2027 is nothing to sneeze at.

If you push Luai out you alot of players will leave it's crazy to think about it

Look at the last 18 in 18 months time we will have a great culture deep into the walls of the football department

He would not be pushed out. Jesus, deals are done all the time. My point is cooperative, friendly between parties, not a fight.

It’s too late ,.. the option was in his favour and he has taken it up… they will be on the hook for the full amount
