OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[weststigerman]

I sssume he works 8 hour days, surely he can do both ?

I’m sure he has a lot on his plate. Most clubs have dedicated teams for recruitment.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Thats the KEY issue
We let go Papali/Bateman /Klemmer and Galvin...without being replaced !!Wonder why we have no go forward?
.Benji couldnt work with them!!All of them,despite most being being seasoned internationals
Throw in Stefano and de Silva...
Problem is clearly the coach who has very inflexible management skills..its "my way or the highway.."
..and "I need to be home to have dinner with the family"..blah blah.Its not that sort of job
and its which is why he surrounds himself with 2005 team mates..hes comfy
Its a total facade predicated on the admiration by some of Benjis playing days.... 2 decades ago..plus the family thing
Our worst coaching decision ever,,,and thats saying a lot!

IMHO, he is a billion times better option than Maquire and Jason Taylor!

Terrell & Turuva said on the podcast that what's portrayed in the media about Benji is false. He has time for all the players, both about the game and outside the game. Terrell said he's never had the support he's had like he does at the Tigers.

Wld genuinely like to see that translated into results...
JT got us to 9 Wld kill for that these days
Madge just too intense..but his average was better than Benji..so far
It's the way they're playing that troubles me
Plus ridiculous statements that the 3 time spooners will beat the 4 time premiers at their own game in last week's presser
Confirmed my worst fears re Benji

 

[clontarfkid]

Perth are chasing Munster.

Think they will get him too...32 when he arrives..4 yr deal..
Just think Luai will also want out of this mess which has diminished his form and legacy any way he can..and Perth the only team that will pay close to what he's on

For whatever reason Terrell had no support at Roosters..heck they had 2 Origin props plus JWH
And I've got no doubt that if u fit Benjis mould he will indeed support..but too many don't.
Good managers in any business find a way to bring out the best in most
Not seeing it

This is why we will lock down Taylan... If the club was that bad, he'd be off to one of many clubs who would be interested in his services..

Need to sign them both on long term deals.

[HabboTiger]

I’m not that type of guy to bounce to greener pastures 🐩

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Does that mean we can sack Benji now? 🤔

 

[upthetigers]

It would be like changing clubs as a supporter because you want to experience success so badly I can never understand people like that

state your preference and be nailed to the cross . Its a no from me. Just be a waste of time

 

[BAGNF05]

i just don’t think he’s the main chief playmaker everyone expected him to be, never dominated games at Penrith either but was their energy man like they say

Packs are chalk and cheese though. He won a shitload without Nath at the riff.

 

[TigerBurnsy]

It is not much better than the Dragons!
In fact only Luai, Api, May would displace the current Dragons players in their positions. (50-50 with Api and Cook in my opinion).

I agree api hasn’t been great for a while

It's a No from me as welll. He isn't the best coach but is probably the right coach for us now. We have a plan (not that it has been shared in depth) and he has a contract to deliver on that plan. We need to stick to our guns under the new regime and see the plan out. We have jumped from plan to plan so often we have had no direction. It is time, for the long term benefit of the club, to stick tight and ride it out. Unless he starts heading down a cliff he has my support (despite not liking some of his decisions and methods).

We should finidh about 12th this year and, touch wood the bottom of the 8 in 26 (trusting that we land a couple of decent forward fish). We are off the pace sure, there are better rosters further off it though. Our "style" will grow once we have a settled halves combination and add a touch of go forward.

Just need some mongrel mate, lay a platform for our backs which have more quality than ever.

That and we need an attacking coach

Looked alright against Roosters when the forwards had a crack.
