OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Jedi_Tiger]

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.

if rep players sign with the Tigers and then keep missing out on rep honours e.g. Apu, Luai or do not get picked for rep honours e.g. May then players will second guess coming to tigers in future

What are the rules of today
Kicker
1. No penalty if the ball doesn’t pass the 10 metre line.
2. If the ball is kicked out over the sideline (this is where it gets interesting) no penalty
UNLESS
it’s kicked out ( into the crowd)and the referee rules that the receiving team didn’t get the opportunity to touch the ball 🤷‍♂️ it’s a penalty.
3. If the drop out doesn’t go 10 metres and the kicking team touch the ball (NO PENALTY)
If the receiving team touch the ball
(PENALTY)

Go back to all of rules that were in place before they stupidly changed them.
Kicker
1. Ball has to travel over the 10 metre line.
2. Can’t go out on the full
Both teams
1. Can’t touch the ball until it’s past over the 10 metre line.

I think making the eighth this year or next will go a long way to changing it. I guess you could still see the first two months of this year as a fluke for the Tigers, gotta keep it rolling.

There was one game last round where it was an automatic sin bin for a repeated infringement (2nd time ) from a scrum....where inthink they can take a penalty or pack a scrum again.
Forget the game bloke was offside again and went straight to the bin

I’m a bit old school
Kick the ball down field 60 mtr and the whole team should be sprinting upfield to defend , keep the opposition down their end they can’t score , the short drop out for me dumps you under to much pressure and most of these kicks stuff up , I’m not a fan

The NRL has given them the incentive by not penalising them if the kick doesn’t go the 10. The NRL don’t want the contact of players running 30m into a set defensive line. It’s why the kick offs will eventually be tweaked as well. Something like 7 tackle sets for teams who can regather their own kick off.

We got pinged on the exact second, yet the game before I watched the clock run down and the buzzer didnt sound at all, kick was a bout 2 seconds after the clock hit zero.

Theyve buggered round with this rule so much I never know what happens

True, I've noticed that too.

Gets me thinking about these short drop outs, personally I'm not a fan, just kick the shit out of the ball and chase like crazy.

I still think it should be a reward for an attacking team to get the ball back and now under the current rules it only gives you a 50/50 chance of getting possession back if the defending team gets it right.

Yeah I get the arguments on both sides but I think they should bring the penalty back for an "incorrect restart" as they call it and maybe make the minimum distance 20 metres instead of 10.

Find it kind of funny how the Walker Brothers pioneered this in Queensland Cup and all the main stream NRL coaches seemed to poo poo the idea a few years ago and now everyone does it.

Those guys definitely ahead of their time, what a football family.

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 think the next few rounds will decide it. If Luai is a stand out over Moses the you may be right.

Our team at the moment looks to be improving at long last if we were lucky enough to sign more rep quality players then that would propel the team to the pointy end of the table in the future you would think.

This would make it more difficult for selectors to overlook our talent, most selections come from in form teams, maybe Api misses out getting too old for rep duties.

But it hasn’t stopped the possibility of big contact because you can still drop kick it 40-50 metres if they choose.
To eliminate big contact they would need to make it the ball has to go 10 metres but no further than the 20 metre line.
Seriously they should have left it how it always was.

They aren’t going to come out and make those rules. All they can do is give incentives for going short.

It was the Titans game .....Kelly went to the bin

If NSW need a 7 the choice should be in this order:
1. Cleary
2. Moses
3. Reynolds

But if we're talking about a 6, Luai is the only contender proven in that role.

It should be simple.

 

[mikey]

You'd think Cleary and Luai would be the choice given they know each others games inside out and have won 4 rings each.

 

[mtd#2]

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.

Couldnt you pick May on D.. until the game against the dragons he hadnt missed a tackle

 

[mtd#2]

You'd think Cleary and Luai would be the choice given they know each others games inside out and have won 4 rings each.

I actually think this will be the reason Daley will pick Luai.

Jarome is a 6 playing 7..
Cleary and Moses are both 7s playing 7.

Daley was a 6 himself... He gets it... I hope

 

[GNR4LIFE]

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

He’s not that intimidating. Just has an insane motor. He’s more of a Todd Payten type of prop.

 

[mtd#2]

There's also the luai and Cleary combo+ the old Penrith crew.

Moses and Cleary are unproven together..

 

[mtd#2]

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

I don't disagree. But the workrate is also needs to be considered, especially in defence, and then taking the runs when no one else wants to.

May is a motor, the energiser bunny.

Wonder how true this Instagram story is…?
