OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

His defence against the Bulldogs virtually saved the game - Sitelli was going to score had the line open. It was a classic committed tackle on a much bigger man who virtually got them back into the game.

Yes the Bulldogs game was one of his great defensive games amongst a month of poor defence

Ok let's me be crystal clear here, I have not heard of any fans doing that and I dont for second agree with taking it that far. That is absurd and not on. So if you have been thinking I have been aware of that crap and my stance is somewhat defending it, then that is most certainly not the case.

Fair enough.. that might be the missing context then as to why he reacted that way.

Anyway, lets hope he can replicate this form against the dolphins, we sure as hell are going to need it

Mate, you're usually quite fair and reasonable to talk to but you're letting Luai get to your head a bit.

I don't think anyone is reasonably saying that he's provided as per his pay packet on the field.

Some players like to play on emotion rather than discipline and Luai is one of them. He's probably used all the negativity to fuel him and vented it out at the end. It wasn't meant at any one person or group in particular but as you can imagine he would've had so many idiots messaging him stupid stuff after the game.

Take the win and move on.

Look at Benji's reaction after that, Turuvas and Mays and all- they were all up at him.

All these guys are not overly bright, they see Luai as their leader and elder brother. THere is a bigger issue within the club that we play on emotion rather than continuous discipline but that's a discussion for another topic.

I believe i am being fair and reasonable. All I have said is that his carrying on after the third try wasnt warranted considering his poor form. How's that unreasonable? Since I made that comment people are coming at me defending his performaces and a mini debate about how good or bad he has been has emerged. Hardly unreasonable at all from myself. The only ones being unreasonable are those defending his performances. That aside, I did not know about these stupid private messages he has been receiving so I acknowledge the views of MTD could be influenced by that and thats fair enough. Fans need to get a grip

I think the shhh was largely directed at Keary -and his comments during the week.

Really? I mean you could be right, but I would think that if it was just a shoosh to Keary it would have been the finger up and a smirk like players often do...you know like a smugness, not a lot of aggressive swearing and carry on to the crowd. Thats what indicates to me it was directed at fans. However, now I know he has received private threats than im happy to soften my stance on the situation because no player should be subjected to that crap and who knows how I would react if I was in that situation.

Luai as a brand and as a person is smug, aggressive and vindictive.

There would've been a lot of people coming at him because of that performance and Luai is the type of person who actually feeds off it. His comments after Origin in 2023, after Galvin left... he's outspoken. That's him and we should just let him be him.

It takes away attention from others TBH and that's a good thing.

I think youre being unreasonable because of how many posts you've made on this topic. I just feel you're letting him get to you, that's all.

Is it unreasonable to respond to people?

Keary apologised after the game for the put down and Luai said he saw it. Also owned his and the teams poor performance for last week. It may have also been somewhat directed at the sideline critics but it always hits players harder when it comes from peers. I have no doubt it was directed at Keary and he answered it in the best way during and after the game.
 
The best thing I saw from Luai is his first try when we were 24-12 down. Last play, an offload into second phase play, there was a bit of space but not heaps, he backed himself to get to the line. In previous weeks he would've ran into it for a bit, jinked, then offloaded and expect someone else to do it.

He ran straight and hard and that's what I wanna see from him. A captain's knock if you will. I don't wanna see my captain giving others the opportunity to get the job done if he can do it himself.

100% much more intent to get to the try line.

The pattern seems to be 1 good game every month for Jarome. Feel free to object.

Well X you seem to be on the right track in regards to JL games ATM,however we should consider the pressure mentally he has been under since the PNG signing..
It is clear to me that he is a good leader and top NRL player,his previous years atone to that..I honestly think he wants to move on to better his career and no doubt bank account..BUT he seems to love this club and teammates and they reciprocate...sometimes we as human beings can't always tell how decisions like his can affect him while still under the agreements with the club..
I wish him all the best in the future,however he must give his best and all while with us,after all he is highly paid and must deliver while still at the club...

I liked the way he was keeping Josese focused throughout the game, that to me reflected true leadership. I was also sitting right next to the in-goal and he was very vocal rallying the troops after Titans scored, telling them its not over and to stay focused.
