OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[mtd#2]

As much as he has played amazingly for us ...I reckon they will go with Haas and Barnett

He's been voted rpla player of the month
And I think he was runner up last month too wasn't he?
If the players think he's the most in form player delivering results, I find it hard to swallow that there isn't a place for him in the top 17 for NSW.

You need 4 of them, Barnett to the bench

What! No Stef.

Luai is unlikely on current form - Cleary and Moses. I’m happy with that as he will then focus on the Tigers and improving his own form.

On form, Luai has the Tigers above Penrith and Parra on the ladder.

On incumbency, he’s in.

He’s won four consecutive rings.

If it isn’t Luai & Cleary, it’s a rort.

Moses has been hurt for ages and played one good game this season.

I find it insane that people are saying Terrell won't be named. It would have to be one of the most backward decisions by NSW if him and Haas aren't the starting props.

As a former NSW assistant coach to Daley, It was interesting to read Greg Alexander’s comments about work rate and input re May. He seemed to think that whilst May is a workhouse he lacks the tackle breaking impact of a Haas, and as such, he felt that Spencer Lanu was more explosive and a better option.

 

[Tom Shines]

I’d like to see them compete a bit better on the short drop out … although they do seem to defend them better this year

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

it is the Tigers, selectors and big clubs and managers are like go to tigers your rep career may die

Api should be picked at 9
Connor Watson on bench

Terrell May should be prop

Luai should be 6

Same with the scrum clock, I don’t think the refs have a clue.

I can confirm the refs have no clues.

Tend to agree. Go back to the first hit up of the last few games and May gets stopped and pushed back surprisingly easy.

I guess in light of his efforts and Dally M points, it just shows that there are other factors taken into account for SOO selection.
I personally don’t care if he, Api and Luai all miss out, because that would be in our favour.

What sort of tackle breaking ability does Jake trbojevic have?

None, but he was picked for his D, but surely you already knew that ! I’m just commenting on what I read so don’t be surprised if May misses out.

And make them hungrier for future selection…

He has a point...he doesnt always bend the line and ends up lateral

Brandy absolutely sums up what I see. May is an amazing athlete but isn't putting fear into the opposition i don't think. Do you want him in the side 100% because of his work rate. But if he delivered his game for 40 minutes you probably don't.

He always gets pushed back at the beginning, until he kicks into beast mode. He’s 10 x better than Jurbo and he was picked last season. Simples, he takes jurbos spot, nut case on the bench.
But hell, pick no tigers, win, win!

What! No Stef.

80th man

I reckon they put 3 backrowers / props on the bench ....he might be in the 17 ....

Agree
I don’t see May as a starting prop in SOO he gets dominated in early hit ups in our games and becomes more effective after 20 minutes.
In SOO most props do 20 minute stints and get a rest.
Barnett’s defence is also much stronger than May’s as well.
Finally it’s better for us (Tigers) that he is available for our games.

Hadn’t kicked yet in when suli bumped him off early either…thought it was weird. Now I know why 🤣
