OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Magpie_Magic]

It's clear Richo officially starts in January, but if you can't see that he started immediately then I just don't know what to say.

I get that but we needed Luai out here next year.

I was pretty certain he was coming anyway, was hoping Richardson would've done more for 24.

The other thing perhaps is Richardson can't enter a contract with Luai till he start officially.

I'm sure he is doing everything he can to get him here asap if there is a sniff of it being possible.

Which other player announces a engagement and business deal before signing on with there next contact, man certainly does things his way…

It’s a new world

I miss the days of Andrew Leeds giving a hand shake commitment that he’ll play on for the next season

I think family (engagement) is more important than footy (job) but we all have different morals

Shirley you can’t be serious 😂 and don’t call me “Shirley 🤣

 

[diedpretty]

No.
I think only the incumbent club is advised

They get advised of an acceptance of an offer but not the amount. Of course we know that is a lot of BS as any manger is going to tell all interested parties how much is on the table to get the bidding moving.

I noted during one of the Richo interviews, he said that he and O Farrell officially start on the 2nd January as well, so maybe all the pieces are coming together.
Perhaps that’s what everyone’s been working towards.

You know what, I reckon you and I are onto something here.

Tomorrow, done deal.

 

[hank37w]

I've been informed by a source on this forum that you are a "self-important big-noting wanker" for posting a rumour/speculation on a signing in the rumours forum. Happy New Year

Guilty as charged, just don't call me Shirley. 🤣

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Done.
What will more likes get us Neddy?

I have no idea , 🤷, just by reading this thread it seems that accumulating them is very important so I don’t want to miss out ,, and I’m always looking 👀 for a way to game the system !! 😅😂😜

Lot more than once with other discussions, anyhow enough of this its just constructive criticism.

Take it or leave it.

I am looking forward to the self-described overweight CEO bringing his weight of knowledge to the club

I don't think we could've picked a better operator if we tried.

there's the Politis' and Frank Ponissi's of the world, but neither have them have been able to build sustainable franchises from the ground up like Richo has done across Australia and the UK. very interested to see where this next six months (and hopefully longer) takes us.

He's not big enough like Gould etc. to be always in media but he's also not a lesser known one either. Very good acquisition by the club

He's the ideal candidate for football operations CEO, exactly what I wanted.

Much overdue but I think club was scouting behind the scenes.

Didn’t think he was available , was thinking club might have to search overseas perhaps.

I'm really looking forward to seeing his influence behind the scenes in football operations.....we need professionalism and ownership so hopefully he will introduce this.

The six months tenure is a concern but hopefully its so new board can ratify his appointment.

Certainly will be disappointing if he stays only six months.

I spent yesterday playing golf, tenpin bowling and tennis with him.
All good, he's coming.

So you let him win huh?

 

[Todd Packer]

Nah, smashed him in all 3 just to get him accustomed to that Tiger feeling. He thanked me for it.

He thought he'd won tennis but an umpire's ruling after the final point gave me the win

Ponissi is a great operator. Often overlooked how much of an influence he has had over the day to day running of the Storm.

Romey's in consultation with Bryden's top man regarding a challenge.
