OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

These are the scenarios that are at play:

1) 10 day cooling off period has elapsed - J.L. has signed with the WT, we are holding off on announcing.
2) 10 day cooling off period has elapsed - J.L. has rejected our offer and is in a 10 day cooling off period with the Dogs.


Would not surprise me if J.L. has opted for #2...His best mate To'o was wearing a Bulldogs Jersey yesterday...hint hint...

It was obvious in mid December nobody had any idea what the story was re the 10 day CO period

And I’m going to keep saying it until I am proven wrong. This can stretch on till March, and it won’t mean a damn thing. Because as long as the Dogs haven’t announced him, they aren’t any more likely of a destination.

And there is 0% chance he is in a CO period with the Dogs. You don’t think the media would be all over it? You’d know if he was. That’s why he’s still firmly in our camp.

Idk Gus is a shrewd and ruthless operator, if the cone of silence is key to snaring Luai, then he will do whatever is needed to get his man…

I just want to counter this and say I personally don't care when the deal gets done. No footy for another 8 weeks, it makes zero difference if he signs today or Feb 28, if he's not being released for 2024.

The fuss in this forum only reflects the inability of some supporters to be patient. The player himself is probably still enjoying his Xmas and New Year's.

Do you know what the give away was that the Dogs were out of the race? His pic in the Chinese restaurant. He knew what he was doing in posting that. It was a wink to Luai. He never would have posted that if he was knee deep in negotiations. The Dogs are not a threat. I really wish some of you would stop buying into the myth that is Gus and his svengali like influence.

Luai is such a lair and loves the limelight he will pick the time with the best media coverage to announce.

On the contrary it's 1.2 million of our salary cap that we can't put towards other new signings, extensions etc. it's just useful to know where that money is allocated, and if it's secured then great, if not it's money needed for other players. Either way we need to know soonish.
It's apparently all agreed, so shouldn't be more hold ups now that everything is open for business again
