OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[TigerNeddyK]

I actually find it very embarrassing...

All that culture talk aside, he achieved nothing at the Tigers... and now he's being asked to leave.

His arrogance may have caused this.
Keen to hear more around this story.

Come on mate.. he is by far the best defender in the backs .. he is easily our most classy player and is very respected bwothin the playing group. This is a deadset embarrassing situation as we say one thing and do another .. having jarome at the club for another year is vital and we will regret it forever if we attempt to show him the door. If this was done without Benji input by HBG or some bean counter then I am just so over these idiots being involved with the footy team .. the Koe and Magpies playing at lidcombe and not bofere our nrl team and the division through the pathways is bad enough .. so over the lack of vision and loyalty and leadership

What’s PNG paying him ?

Effectively 600k as they have double the cap

 

[innsaneink]

I dont really understand what he.posted...

'I told.them'...is that it?

Please.help this old fart.make sense.of it all...context.

Told who.what

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He’s only got himself to blame

Maybe. But it’s another black eye for the club. Another year of a marquee player walking out early. The club has to bear some responsibility.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Way too much

What he has earnt mate .. what he is worth , ..

 

[Tom Shines]

I'm really worried we're back to overpaying players. The way we rushed all those signings makes me think they've stuffed our cap.

The cap is about to go up significantly 😂

If they are already overpaying players we got massive problems …

 

[Demps]

In retrospect Benji, richo and Pascoe royally messed up with his contract value

Multi-premiership winning player.

He just, wasn't/isnt as good, outside that system as we thought.
Much like Adam Blair.

It has turned out to be a very mediocre signing and it seems, it's for the best, he leaves now, as he's leaving in 2028 anyways.

I think if his PNG campaign goes the same way his Tigers one has, it'll be quite clear what kind of player he is.

 

[Tom Shines]

Way too much

That’s the market though

He wouldn’t have come here otherwise. He’d be at the Dogs, probably killing it and we’d be cursing them for low balling him.

What he has earnt mate .. what he is worth , ..

I would value him at 600k, but it was rumoured the Panthers top offer was 800l, so you could live with paying him that under a 12 million dollar salary cap, but not a cent more.
In saying this he is only one part of our spine who are clueless and Doueihi has been just about our best player this season, so he cannot be blamed.

It's been said, by the journo, It's a club decision.

His defence has been good and very noticeable of late... however, we can't overlook how his announcement is when our season really took a dive.

I think we'll see another club snap him up quite quickly and we can focus on what we need to focus on, as a team.

He might be there next year playing with his mate Critta… with us paying half the freight

Reunite with his bro

What a load of crap.. did you enjoy 3 wooden spoons ? 16 years of no finals ? He has no talent to work with most weeks and still leads the NRL in try assists in his position .. I cannot believe the Jealousy and small minded stupidity of some of our supporters.. deadset you would think some of you are having to pay his salary the way they fixate on it …

Only if they moved Burton on. Souths or Parra imo. If he even leaves.

 

[AnonTiger]

The timing of this is suss.

This news came straight after Luai says "I told them" on socials.

I am all for releasing Luai if it means retaining the Fainus.

100%. there is a clear fallout. club be putting out the info its to clear up cap for the fainus. rubbish. no way we sign avo if we were struggling for cap space for the fainus. Misses the game then puts up the insta post and now hes been told to piss off. Shamozzle this joint. year after year of shit.

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Maybe. But it’s another black eye for the club. Another year of a marquee player walking out early. The club has to bear some responsibility.

That’s on the management for way overpaying him as well

😂…

His bro mightn’t be invited over for BBQs …

I don’t think Critta likes him much more

 

[Tom Shines]

I reckon Burton was being moved on anyway …to Perth

Does Bennet rate him?

Parra will take anyone
