OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Needaname]

So next year are we thinking Luai stays on the left and Galvin goes to the right? Or Luai goes to the right and control the kicking game with his right foot?

Luai is a left foot kicker; though he did put in a decent grubber for a try from his right vs the sharks.

 

[Siberian Kitten]

Luai has a great attitude. It might take a couple of years he could potentially have a similar effect on the Tigers as Crichton did for Dogs.

He'll be great for Api and Galvin too - it won't all fall on their shoulders. Poor Api was busted by the end of last year from trying to the keep team up, and Galvin ended up trying too hard and making mistakes.

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.

I think it starts in pre-season. You miss an assignment at training, you all pay a price. Everyone understands that.

It could be a weighted sled exercise that everyone hates for instance, and if someone stuffs up, everyone hits the sleds.

A light jibe soon turns into a gentle spray and later a full on spray. It’s orchestrated and engrained into your culture. It’s happened in training, so nobody is shocked by it. It’s keeping everyone accountable.

It’s all in the preparation.

Speaking of which have you seen the Penrith pre season activities culminating in climbing up the side of the grandstand at PP. Fascinating watch.

No but I will check it out. 👍

 

[Tim Sheens]

Somewhat disappointing that he is going to the UK instead of coming to pre season with us. The Samoan team has already had several withdrawals and his would have been just one more.
Now he’ll be back to a January start, not what I’d hoped and imo not sending out any positive vibes to the rest of the squad.

My only concern is him suffering an injury, particularly a serious one, as WT need him on the training paddock from day one next year.

Luai is the accomplished player and should get first choice.

Api is a 60 minute player nowadays, particularly so in a side that he needs to somewhat carry and also be the main goal kicker.

Big pre-season for TDS.

Yeah...but the culture today is to ignore your shortcomings and call it bullying. The heroes aren't the ones that perform, but the ones that have been "brave" to call out a so called bully. Problem is the "brave" ones will never get any better because they can't cop when people wont put up with bad performances.

Successful people don't cry when they get a spray. They self reflect and get better.

Too many weak minds around.

Good on Alamoti for taking it on board and getting better.

I think you only have to watch Craig Bellamy in the coaches box to understand that some cultures haven’t yet been overtaken by the wokies.

Yes, training is where it should happen

Absolutely. I don’t think Luai spraying anyone on the field is unusual, because it happens all week 😂

Poor Api was busted by the end of last year from trying the team and Galvin ended up trying too hard and making mistakes.

Api was busted because we have used him incorrectly the whole time he has been here. Totally over played.
Lachie made a lot of mistakes because he was 18 and thoroughly unprepared to play full time NRL in such a pivotal position. Our pathways failed him.
Both will be better next year if our coaching improves.

This is the right opinion. I don't wanna hear no other garbage...

Both aren't perfect players, but thats not completely there fault, its the fault of our franchise being so mismanaged

No surprise Melbourne have been successful for so long.

 

[innsaneink]

Article through the week confirmed Luai regularly sprays his teammates. With quotes from Alamoti. Get used to it.

League is a man’s game. If they can’t cop a spray, try soccer.

Edit: Most sprays are as simple as “fu$&ing switch on mate” and the ultimate goal is to make sure the player doesn’t dwell on the error.

Grrrr,. I can smell the testosterone in yiur post, surprised you didn't mention cups of cement.. Nice to see yiu agree tho.. Yiu basically said what I did ie: encouragement

 

[Halbrowne61]

True but he’s a natural left foot kicker so my feeling is him to left and Galvin right.

The poor bugger when he plays with us will be so dry after spraying the players he won't even be able to spit.

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