OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

Clauses are shit. It makes it difficult to plan ahead. I listened to a podcast with Matt Cameron recently who said they don’t do clauses and know what the majority of their top 30 will look like in 4 years.

But at the other end of the table, WT doesn’t have much hand in negotiations and probably needs to give up some certainty to attract talent.
Of course they do. Get in the top 4 and clauses aren't needed
 
Love it... This is clearly what set standards even though he would be just doing light drills etc.. due to NRL requirements

His fresh tattoo might not like the hot sun and movement yet.. They take some time to settle down.
 
Just on the contract: you sign luai up on basically any condition he wants and you hope it can work out and you persuade him. Get out clause in two years but willing to sign a contract with us? No problem at all. Hey, it all might not work out and it blows up in our faces, but what's the worst that can happen? We finish last?
 
Even if Luai did decide to leave after the two years, we already have the next big thing coming through in Latu Fainu. So long as we keep one of them it will be fine. Can't allow another Tedesco/Papenhuyzen situation to occur where you let your top 2 players in a position leave at the same time.
 
On the poddy with Chammas & Weidler Chammas goes more into depth about the Luai contract. He believes it’s not multiple player options just one activating the three years (27-29) says he has a really good relationship with Luai & even notified him before releasing the article. Says he’s fully committed to turning the club around & Chammas believes that Luai will see out the whole 5 years (of course anything could happen.)
