OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

Reading the comments, is Luai perceived as a grub? That thought has never crossed my mind. Lattrell is a grub, Luai is just super competitive.

Btw messing with Staggs, messing on the wrong bloke Luai we know how that would go down🤣

Of course he is.
To be honest, I dislike him more than any other player in the comp.
This year will be a struggle lol….especially if he plays well.

Really now I'm curious what makes him a grub?

He’s a poor loser and even poorer winner.
He treats his opponents like they are dirt, always chirping at them just out of punching range…very much like Ennis used to.
The way he screams in opponents faces when his team scores rubs me the wrong way. Standing over players on the ground in that origin series and berating them when Cleary was doing all the work.
He also annoyed me with the over the top crap when repping Samoa in the WC.
I also thought he was selfish playing in the 23 GF whilst injured.

Anyway…let’s see how he goes for us.

He changed since the SOO stuff happened.

I think he has matured as a player in various ways, that dirty/niggle side wasn’t great but he hardly did it last year.

Your right MT better attitude after the blues camp and games someone must have been in his ear let your football do the talking.

Fair enough. Being a poor winner rubs me the wrong way too. It's why I don't like Gutho but it sounds like you're saying Luai is no different.

I certainly had this take but I think he’s maturing. I thought his interviews and body language were much less arrrogant in 24.

At the very least, Tigers need a grub who can back it up on the field 🤣

I don't think he's a grub.

For me a grub is a fairly average player who compensates for a lack of ability and builds a career mostly around dirty tricks and deliberate foul play. Darren Senter, MIck Ennis, Glen Morrison, all grubs, (but each played a fair amount of footy in their career.)

Luai is more in the Billy Slater/Terry Lamb category of a great rep player with a nasty side. Dirty? sometimes, but can also win you a grand final or an origin series. I'd rather have a great, ultra-competitive half in our side, than say, a polite and quiet bbq enthusiast.

Yeah I agree.... I couldn't stand him a few years ago but even before we knew he was coming here I think '23 he began to mature and he didn't annoy me any more...that was quickly replaced by Reed Mahoney... Even his ear hates him
 
The buzz was saying he attended west tigers COE yesterday and all the players had a day off. He said there was 5 players there doing extras Jarome and Turuva were a couple of them. He said they were absolutely flogging them self’s. I wonder who the others were so good to hear
