OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

Manly got a bargain with Fogarty at around $700k a year, great deal.

Wonder what Raiders offered him ?

Think it was more around thr lenght of the deal… 3 years v 2 years …. Even Ricky said publicly he should take the deal…so I can only assume he didn’t see it as a bargain

Luai's a 6 who needs a seven.

He's been playing much better of late.

He won't live up to his contract as a player. He's an above average nrl player who made a career out of playing the easiest role in the greatest team of the modern era.

But we had money to spend and he has helped attract other good players.

It's a bad deal but the only alternative was to commit to Galvin and Latu as our future halves, which simply wasn't a reality for a coaching staff and admin that needed results sooner.

I concur with all of that
We needed him desperately..and still do..despite transparent shortcomings and the price tag we paid

Think Ricky will regret that decision..time will tell.
Dogs apparently squeezing Burton out...have realised he cant create anything,so LG goes to 6 and we get a 7j just like....the one they had that got them to the top earlier this year!!
