OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[hank37w]

He’s been pre warned to bring plenty of Gatorade.

To be safe, bring strapping as well. 🤣

Will the rest of the team be running sand hills in December?

They haven't been there for a while.

I’m suspicious not much else happens at training in December bar eating ice cream and extended tickle sessions.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Suspicious Minds..... We're caught in a trap... why cant you see.... what your doing to me...

 

[mtd#2]

So am I but we suffer yet again after signing him for $6 mill.

I dont know if running hills and doing majority fitness works means we are suffering.
he could not train or play between now and January and be fitter than 80% of our squad.

 

[mtd#2]

If Luai is going to abuse our players everytime they drop a ball or miss a tackle, he’ll never shut up. The boys will code red him in the change room.
A different approach is required until they learn to play competitive football.

Tucks you are really stretching this.
We are talking about a spray not abuse

It's abuse if there's nothing constructive, if he's saying something about someones mum or mrs etc....
I really don't think Luai is going to abuse players, mate.

You’ve missed my point. It’s not about fitness. It’s about being there with the team from day one to get his leadership impact off and running.

He could take a year off and still be fitter than most our squad.
I’m not worried about JL he’ll be ready to go when the comp starts.
Will the others be?

I reckon he’ll be there for that.

 

[Halbrowne61]

I reckon he’ll be there for that.

Nah, training starts 1/11 and second test around 7/11 in UK. Will get a couple of weeks off after that, I also note that Skelton in the Samoa team as well so that makes 2.

No, I prefer to use “motivate” a few of the lazy bastards we have in our team:

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I’m pretty sure Luai is aware the level our players is several levels below the one his now ex teammates are at.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I reckon he’ll be there for that.

He’s not back till the new year.

Read an article / comment from Luai about how he was keen to start pre season immediately with the Tigers but the opportunity to captain his country was too greater opportunity to pass on.
Also in the same comment he mentions with Crichton and To’o being unavailable as they “have a bit going on this offseason”.
Crichton is getting married, but what does To’o have going on?

Could be injury related
Carries a fair bit of strapping

Probably not what you are insinuating

 

[Needaname]

Not insinuating anything. Just curious. He did look to be carrying an injury and didn’t come back on the field. But there was also footage of him sprinting back on the field once the siren sounded. So he can’t be that injured. Just found it interesting that Luai put it that way.
"(To'o and Crichton being unavailable) was more reason why I needed to, I needed to hold it down for the boys. They've got some things going on in the off-season, and rightfully so. I'll go over there and hold it down."
