OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Telltails]

In just about every sport anywhere in the world when a big player signing occurs, part of the new club's following pr exercise is to show the new player in his or her new playing strip. Given Luai will still be at the Riff for another full season i kind of get their being a little annoyed at the photoshopped image of Jahrome in a Tigers shirt but the image was quickly "vanillarised" to soothe their hurt feelings so that should end the matter.

This is about how it impacts on Luai. We have no responsibility to keep Penrith happy but Luai does. We did him no favours by posting this . It was a dumb move.

West's Tigers welcome Jarome Luai to the club.

Racist! Just kidding

The jury on Marshall as a tactician is still out, but as far as a man manager is concerned, he looks like a 10/10. Not only a charismatic player, but a charismatic personality.

John Morris will be the tactician. I'm okay with that.

Yeah it was five years ago. 2010/11 still hurts, Tedesco leaving still upsets WT fans, so does '89 if you're a Balmain fan. Wests fans remember Manly pillaging in the 70's. Maybe they should all let it go too? Leagues a tribal game and things like this are not easily forgotten.

And yeah, it was only a Photoshopped image. Honestly, they're coming off three consecutive grand final wins and they are singing the blues about a photo, get a grip...

If anything, the club didn't go far enough, they should have Photoshopped Luai's head on Johnny Sins, complete with WT jersey, while he was chockablock up someone and then superimposed Ivan's head on the receiving party.

Did you have to mention '89?

He is, not Penrith IMO.

Who at the Panthers put the gun to his head forcing him to leave?
He was given an option and even paid around 250k out of his own pocket to break his contract with us. That was all on him not the Panthers imo.

Same same

Turbo is sadly past it. Latrell is too lazy to play fullback at NRL level, let alone origin. Slater would easily target him

If you are saying Turbo is past it I’m Interested to know your thoughts on Adam Doueihi ?

Needs super max deal

It's part of the rivalry between two rival clubs, just like the image yesterday it just adds another chapter to it.

Luai's comments in the SMH were very interesting. It seems Canterbury were a lot closer to getting him than some of us thought. He talked about his brothers at the club and described Ciraldo as his second father. it'd be interesting to see what the clincher was for him coming to WT. Was it money

The Benji factor and the opportunity to “own the team “… something we’ve never had in Brooks

Why does he have to keep penriff happy - he needs to turn up each week and give 100% - thats what he is paid for. I would think that is all that penriff expect - nothing more nothing less.

You are living in a dreamworld if you think Penrith had nothing to do with him walking.

AD is in an aged care home

To be fair to Brooks he was given the keys so many times he must have felt like a real-estate agent. But everytime he spoke about taking control and the responsibility he looked like he was about to have a nervous break down.

 

[king_sirro]

Bullshit!!

Name another NRL head coach who has broken his contract because another club poached him mid-contract??

The only ones I can recall are Hasler to Bulldogs and Seibold to Broncos!!

Stuart from Parra to Canberra I think from memory. Not surprised though, he is a massive lowlife

 

[rugbygoated]

Then his best mate was shocked that he did it again. 🤣

Ivan has also defended Tyrone May on many occasions

Brooks has talent, same as Luai. Main difference is Luai is one of the cockiest players there is, and Brooks is a church mouse

I can’t stop thinking about what a major investment we’ve made in JL, but we can’t take delivery of the product we’re buying for almost a year. So much can happen in that time frame.
I hope, and pray, that it all works out.

They made the offer, him walking was a choice he made all by himself, he's a big boy.
