OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

Pretty sure he will play 6 as he is not a utility to be 18th man. Although it does call to attention the issue with the 18th man being unavailable for his club, especially when the position is 5/8 and that what Burton plays week in week out for the dogs.
Poor Gus.. At least he has his little mate Galvin now to make things better. Although he won’t be cradled in for a downhill run with 20 mins left on the clock this week.
 
The QLDer in me wants Luai to get absolutely hammered. The WT's in me wants him to have an absolute blinder to do the club proud.
Either way, I'm sure I'll be happy as I will be watching from Ireland and will be enjoying a few Guinness beers.

Good luck Jarome and up the Maroons!
Like webby said to Kurt capewell, hope you get MOTM in a losing side
 
Apparently he is the first 5/8 or halfback to play for the Blues as a WT player.

I think Hodgo played in '05/ '06 but other than that, I don't think we've had a Blues player in the backline
Terry Hill in 2000. Tedesco as well. Scott Prince played halfback for the Maroons.

One of the greatest injustices was the way Kevin McGuiness was rorted in 2002. Started that season as the in form centre in the competition. Played City/Country, the game that used to be billed as an Origin trial, got MOM. Then didn’t get picked. That was the beginning of realising how on the nose our club was/still is with the NSW Blues. It took Farah years to finally break the door down as a regular, and they didn’t want to pick Tedesco either until they absolutely could no longer ignore him. The main reason I have no time for the Blues.
