OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[rugbygoated]

He targeted Katoa and Katoa couldn’t handle it, he just kept at him, a smart 7, we haven’t had one of those since Prince left

Yep I wonder if he can kick to the right side of the field but? Seems to only kick on the left most of the time. Halves partner will help next year

Great signing. Gives us some hope as it should complete the spine .

 

[jrtiger]

exceptional tonight. let’s hope Richo brings home a few bullocking British cavalrymen for him to play behind.

And I think we can lock him into 7 ?

Luai made an interesting comment post game. He said we made sure we played with a hip on our shoulder. That's an interesting mindset. If you think about it, it's pretty good if you can get all 17 taking that attitude. It switches you on. Something we need to look at

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Nah, strikes me as someone who likes to be challenged, which he will be outside of Cleary's shadow.

Yeah i agree i think his self confidence/ego is exactly what we need and probably what we lack. He will relish the challenge and won't find it daunting or a task.
Before he signed i just thought he was an arrogant tosser which is what he can come across as but he believes in his own ability massively.

 

[Curaeus]

Bet he's looking for those contract loop holes about now.

5 million reasons why he's not plus he still has The Chin in front of him for the 7 at Penrith which position it seems is where he sees his future.

Don’t think there was much risk with him but it’s good to see him step up in the last couple of weeks. His kicking game was immense. The kick chase from the Panthers on every kick made his kicks much better.

We should have a strong spine next year, but need more disciplined effort players in the squad.

Jerome played amazing tonight steering the panthers to a very dominant win.

Can't wait to see him in tigers colours

He plays on the left side of the field, hence he kicks in that direction.
Given Marshall is keen on playing Galvin on the left with a right foot boot and Sezer / Sullivan on the right I have no doubt we will find out next year as he plays predominantly on the right.

It's a much better strategy than ours, playing with a bag of cement on your shoulder...

I’m starting to think about our games next year v Penrith when he and Chin go head to head, and Papali’i takes on our forwards.
Lot to look forward to ! ( Coz there’s nothing happening this season).

I know but if he's halfback he has to learn some cross field kicks

If the NRL is smart they'll make the Vegas game Panthers vs Tigers

The worse we go this year the better he'll like it.
He's coming here to prove who he is.
He'll wanna be a living embodiment of the Situation's catchphrase "The comeback is always greater than the setback".
We just need another 29 players that think like him.

Nah Vegas will draw a crowd regardless who plays …

Packed house at Commbank or Campbelltown
