OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

We haven't had a grub in a while.

Who was the last? Grub (Josh Reynolds)?
And he rarely even played.

Luai brings the ego, the attitude, the cockiness... get under the opponents skin.

A whole new element our team has lacked.
Exciting.
We badly need that but the plus is how he supposedly have an opposite personality off the field, courteous & respectful and really looked up to by team mates and fans
 
Even Luai admits he is not a playmaker. Its a risk taking me on. Ivan is right about me. Never been a leader before. I just followed Nathan.

I think you have misrepresented what he said a little to create a certain picture. You also added "I just followed Nathan" for effect.

I interpreted what he said as just being diplomatic towards his current coach who he has to work with. There is little doubt in my mind he disagrees with Ivan completely and is pissed with him.
 
I can’t think of anything close. Maybe Scott Prince? We don’t win in 05 without him, but he wasn’t a star when we signed him. This is the first out and out star. At his peak.
I agree if we didn’t have Prince in 05 we wouldn’t have won the comp and agree it wasn’t a star signing at the time given he was out injured a lot. I don’t know if you can say this is our only star signing. While I do see why you think that, I think Adam Blair was technically our clubs biggest signing (potentially up until now). It gets overlooked since he was shit when he played for us, but at the time Tigers fans were over the moon when we announced him. This does have potential to be our biggest signing of this decade though I’ll say that.

what a day. our biggest ever signing made official, with the player in question handling himself with plenty of professionalism in a press conference I was initially concerned about.

credit to Benji, credit to Richo and credit to Jarome. I can’t wait to see what he brings to our club.

Blair is maybe the closest. God, remember that saga when we were signing him. That was about 500 pages. Went forever.
 
What his signing says is Wests Tigers with the Massive shake up of the executive where we finally got rid of the CEO and Chairman have really finally embarked on a new era and as such many will give us a clean slate and an open mind about going to Concord .
Won't be surprised if we don't land a couple of more stars in the next 9 months .
2025 could be a big year just like 2005
