OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

If he cannot stop himself or his family from posting controversial comments on social media, he is not worth 1.2 million per season to us.
Agreed, his only been worth half at the most of his salary, I hope he turns it around but if he only lasts 2 years at the tigers I wouldn't be mad about it.
 
Couldnt disagree more with alot of comments. You can see in the players that we have more about us and every person in the know says its him and Turva. The culture he brings togetherness is worth every penny.
The bigger concern is that people think he can take this roster to the top 8. We have a lot more turning over to do until then. Id say we have 10 -12 good first graders which to me says we are playing well above our weight.

I read somewhere today when Richo took over at Souths it took him 4 years from spoon to top 8 and another 3 to make top 4

And Newcastle after 3 spoons another 3 years to make the 8

We are going good
 
So Newcastle have a better roster than us. Dolphins. And every other team from 6 down. This is bullshit.. We got the roster brother- we just don't got the Mojo Hodgo.
 
Wonder how true this Instagram story is…?View attachment 22367
Did you watch his exit video from Penrith with Jake Duke

Luai doesn't have a great relationship with his dad he was not around when he was a kid and sounds like he only turned up when Luai became a NRL super star
Don't read to much into his dad's comments

Sounded like his dad was a bit of a dropkick
 
Luai is worth every penny were paying him, actually imo he's worth more. He didn't come to the Tigers to play the same role he did at Penrith, he came to be the man. To be the man at the Tigers up till now required him take a back-seat to an upstart 19 year old wannabe touch football player. That's what he is doing at the moment. Luai has taken a back seat because that's what the team need from him atm. He is directing things off the ball and has brought with him a new intensity at training and new culture within the group. Yesterday's debacle was purely on Benji and the coaching staff. The players didn't look prepared and looked disconnected. The other issue is Benji asking Luai to play second fiddle to a 19 year old. It is diabolical and defies common sense. We have an origin winning half with 4 consecutive premierships to his name being asked to allow a 19 year old upstart to overcall him. Hopefully it ends after yesterday's disaster. Make no mistake though the only reason we are 5 - 5 to start the year is because of the 1.2 million dollar player and the things he's brought to the club in the background that none of us see.

I'm sad to hear this for jaromes sake
But as a tiger's fan it fills me with a bit more confidence

I dont think he has come within cooee of earning his paycheck yet.

If that was truly the plan, then Im super pissed off with management.
He is directing things off the ball and has brought with him a new intensity at training and new culture within the group. Yesterday's debacle was purely on Benji and the coaching staff. The players didn't look prepared and looked disconnected.
He has brought a new culture....fake it till you make it. They carry on like they are world beaters. Storm smacked some humility into them. That loss was not just on the training staff. Their was zero leadership on field. The players were way too relaxed before the game. The players were awful.
The other issue is Benji asking Luai to play second fiddle to a 19 year old. It is diabolical and defies common sense.
I dont think this is true. Galvin is far more active and demands the ball more. Luai needed to say 'you get it when I agree you should'. From what Ive seen this year, he has only recently started saying this.
We have an origin winning half with 4 consecutive premierships to his name being asked to allow a 19 year old upstart to overcall him.
This is Luai's fault, not Benji's
Hopefully it ends after yesterday's disaster. Make no mistake though the only reason we are 5 - 5 to start the year is because of the 1.2 million dollar player and the things he's brought to the club in the background that none of us see.
I think he has had something to do with it, the defence on his side has improved. That said he has been akin to a shit sandwhich in attack and leadership. May and Turuva have had a far bigger influence on how weve gone this year. Interestingly, both had off games on the weekend and we get flogged.
