OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295
- Thread starter Frecal
- Start date
Has one of the best short kicking games, doesn't seem to get mentioned much
Saved a certain try game over. He does the effort plays that are needed to compete. If you can't see it you don't want to. He is on ridiculous money and with that comes the critics.

I started this thread on Jerome but after watching the game against the Titans on Sunday I take back anything negative that I said about him. He was absolutely great and what we all expected from him - he ran the ball at every opportunity, led the side around the park and his grubber kicks into the Titans in goal area were on point and his tackling was first class. Maybe we are now seeing what the Board saw in offering him such a huge deal. If he continues to play like this the Tigs will become a force to be reckoned with. Taylyn too was outstanding!! C'mon Tigs a bit of confidence and forward structure can overcome the Panthers. Teruva was great and led the offence from the back and Doueihi terrific. What a kick to win us the game!!

He's been good for us but 1.2 million worth of good, certainly not.
But we don't have much of a choice, hopefully he can earn some of his coin off the filed and bring some of his Samoan mates to the Tigers.

I just saw the replay of him taking out Campbell after a kick in the first half... What is he trying to do? Is he trying to find out the grey area in the rules or something and push the boundaries? Because it was so damn obvious he ran him off the ball... I'm dumbfounded..

Reserve judgement till he gets another off season with Latu at 7 and if the club goes for it Doueihi at 13, his attack looks a little mindless this season running into dead ends with any support not knowing what he's doing.
Put that down to the team being so unsettled all season but one thing you can't fault is left side wide defense, he does a ton of good work out there.
Not the first time either. I think he may have been binned before for doing this.
He needs to cut this rubbish out of his game.
We are very lucky to have Jerome in our club.

That's incredibly subjective. Whose cattle is?
No one can hold their head up high when you scrape past the worst team in the comp off the back of lucky bounces and referreeing calls going your way. We also scored fewer tries than our opposition and only won because of dumb penalties they gave away.
Luai was not good. At all. Average at best. Like the rest of his season so far.
If it wasn't for Dylan Brown, he'd be pretty clearly the most overpaid player in the game.
Ok I can accept he's helped us recruit players but with that said, I don't think we're paying unders for any of these guys either.

You could say the same about the Cowboys and South Sydney but there they are
Then why pay him 1.2m?
If a half only needs good players around them, then just pay the half min wage and surround them with stars?

Both our halves looked clunky yesterday. No go forward will do that (sorry Tito runs hard). When will people realise this?!
Meanwhile, Brooksy carved up Melbourne off good go-forward.

Luai was fine, he made a try saving tackle running to the opposite side, that if they scored we would’ve lost. Luai looked most dangerous with Taylan now inside of him. Give him a break

Our backline is coming together nicely. Just need a pack that goes at the game now.

Biggest change for me is players on the inside are getting behind the ball faster as they now understand that there is a huge probability of him stepping off his left and coming back right looking for a hole.
Because that’s his value. A minimum wage half can’t use the weapons. You need players to create pressure and stress the defence. Ultimately both sides of the field so they can’t man up on Luai which has been happening. Luai is worth his price for the Tigers it’s the supporting cast that needs to improve. Had no problem carrying Penrith without Cleary.
