OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

Luai was good. He needs Latu to fire at 7. Game is about balance you need threats all over the park they just mark up on Luai. Rugby league is a simple game assembling a great team is hard for battlers like the Tigers.

Genuinely believe we're building a competitive squad.
The 18 - 30 needs to be really well thought out and beneficial not just squas fillers.
 
This guy needs to remember his role in this team.
He is on massive coin and has to deliver results.
He has to lead, he has to orchestrate victories and come up with the clutch plays himself occasionally. We brought him here to help with the rebuild and in part to deliver wins this season. So far he has been underwhelming.
His sinbnning last week and his second half today have both been causes in these losses. His record here is 5 & 7 this year and that’s not great considering quite a few of those 7 losses could have gone either way.
It seemed to me today he was playing excellent, controlled and focused footy in the first half and then became fixated on beating his old club and upstaging Cleary in the second half. Had he stayed the course he set in the first 40, easily his best this year, then we likely get the win.
 
I think having latu play at lock opened him up plus not having a hog at 5/8. If you look at the eels , walker has made a huge difference when he goes on the field and plays like a 3rd playmaker Aka YEO role. Can keep Luai at half if you have latu at lock

Agree. His first half was gold, his second half was bog average.

Im really looking forward to him being the main guy now Galvin has bolted. Galvins plays reminded me of Gallon how he played for years in Origin, thinking he was killing it by taking 3 basic dumbass hit ups a set to stifle any momentum. Its Jerrys team and he can now take the team by the horns, nobody has to play the fluffer role to keep the diva happy at 6.

Injuries have been a Tigers curse for years. Latu fit and in the halves with Jerry would have turned 3-4 of those loses to wins, and wins easily.

You make some sense when your not dribbling politics

He is still learning to be a 7 again.
Hopefully his kicking gets better soon.

What is it about our team and its aversion to true halfbacks? Prince then Lui, then nothing. We had Moses at 6 with Brooks at 7, ?

Probably but we lost ! Again ! Another close one ! Again !
When does all this development materialise into a winning team that sits in the top half of the ladder ?
That’s all I want from them.

This time really hurts.
6 mins out Bula about to score and Sorensen takes him out with a classic hip drop.
Should have been a penalty try.
But you're right.
"Probably but we lost ! Again ! Another close one ! Again !" 😡

Amazes me that we have had to come this far into the season to realise the high priced 5/8 we signed from the Premiers was not a 1/2 back. I think that was due to wonder boy Galvin clouding the waters..
Think him going will enable the team to slot into their rightful positions. I thought we went well today, just a few small things stopped us winning, but good teams find a way to win and whilst we get close we can’t ice it. Very frustrating !!
 
He tried really hard and did some great stuff. He had a few poor moments but overall it was probably his best game this season. He makes us a better side undoubtedly. The guy is a true competitor and that’s a quality we have lacked for many years.

This club has a learning disability, a Tigers sticker on your car should allow you to park in the disabled spots in car parks.

How long did we persist with a junior 5/8 in Brooks at halfback? Johhny Cronk, Marshall, Farah!!

Its always been 7. Latu. 6. Jerry. Just have to wait for the Tigers to catch up.

About 4-5 guys in the Top 17 now need to be in 18-30 next season … AD, Seyfarth , Twal, Bird and Hunt ..the squad would be looking real good then

Get busy Richo

After KPP we need 3 more quality first grade standard signings to be a top 4-6 squad. we desperately need a centre, backrower and front rower. The squad we have currently would be quality depth fill ins. AD, Shit stains, Bird, Twal, Seyfarth, Royce etc would be decent back up for injuries. Our 2025 first grade squad is basically an NRL squad playing with the real line up out injured and we have managed to stumble over some wins. Easy to say but all it would take would be a few more signings to be in the top 4. Get May, Get Fifita, Get on it Richo.

We know Galvin was the direct result of losing a couple of games this year (bombed try vs Souths etc). Along with all the turmoil in the sheds now gone with that diva, that also plays a part in the cohesion of the team, I reckon with him not even being here this year we would have won at least 1 or 2 more games this year anyway. We saw how much better the attack was last night without Galvin killing every play.

3 signings and Galvin gone = Top 4-6 squad.

The Storm cap after picking up that Titans prop must be bursting at the seams now, talk about Kamikamica being let go he's 31 but built like a tank could fill a spot at prop for 2 seasons looks fit as.
