OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Tigers_Tale]

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.

Check on FB there are a few loonies there

There is a lot of unacceptable behavior by fans online. Alot of people need therapy (everyone should try therapy).

Luai is a legend.

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.

I hope you will like him next week.
But yes. When he wants to. He is good.

Honestly don't understand these keyboard warriors. Most would go to jelly if they had to face conflict in person. Without going into too much detail I did hostile environment training in order to work for a company that would often send people into warzones (global media company) It was quite telling that the guys that were most aggressive often chauvinistic and talked about themselves as Alpha males are the ones that would crack first. I was actually in a conflict zone were we had to be evacuated by the military and it was one of these types that basically broke down and hid in his hotel room...had to be dragged out and thrown onto the warship that we were evacuated on.

I certainly wasn't online posting personal insults online.

I shrugged it off. I went to a gig with a mate. It sure sucked but my entire happiness doesn't depend on it.

It's fine to say that was a terrible performance or that someone isn't delivering or something like that btw. It just shouldn't get emotional/personal attack like.

(I haven't read this thread, talking about social media in general).

Are you any relation to Stryder?

Good reply man

You sound like the real deal.

I’m glad Luai played well yesterday.
Doesn’t change the fact he has underperformed most of his time here.
The reason a lot have been critical of him this year is that he hasn’t tried often enough. The guy who earns respect is the one who goes down swinging. He did not do that in any of those games where we got flogged.

I’ll never forget watching a cowboys game, they were getting pumped.
The opposition team was well ahead and got a scrum in their defending red zone with a couple minutes to go.
They mosied along, winding down the clock as most would.
They finally fed the scrum, and Thurston flew right around the scrum and dived in and got the ball back..
They ripped him off and penalised him for what was fair play…

That bloke had one gear, you can’t manufacture that stuff!!

Down by plenty, seconds on the clock and that fella is diving in on an all risk no reward play in the dying seconds.
If that had been his last game, he’d have died a happy man knowing he left it all out there…

That’s all we ask.
Even when you can’t win, you should be giving it your all to score.
The way Luai defended v Dogs and ran v Titans is what I wanted to see from him when our injury riddled sides were getting railed. A captain refusing to acknowledge the scoreboard and presenting a defiant FU to the situation.

Critical of his week to week games, fair play. He admitted publicly he deserved criticism v Penrith.

Saying he should pack up and leave now, emotional rubbish. I want our fans to be better than that.

Messaging him on social media, ridiculous and childish.

He’s been a huge part of two wins out of 3 games through the origin period. Exactly what we’ll need from him in our 11 remaining games if we hope to play finals.

You don’t see his effort off the ball on TV. As someone who goes to most games, he’s always switched on, talking, geeing everyone up.

I’ve had my say on this and will leave it at that.

Yeh not at all doubting everyone else that he's underperformed last 18 months but his effort off the ball has always been immense.

He constantly follows the ball in attack, gives the ball runner options and then gets behind the ball. He always gets back to dummy half on 1st tackle so that the centre and fullback can be the runners.

He is probably the best defensive half we have ever had.

His decision making, attack, intensity, long kicking, leadership and failure to get out of the left hand channel should definitely be criticised though. His play-on-play efforts, not really.

Can’t argue with much of that. He is exactly what we bought and the results are improving as expected.
