OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[hank37w]

I've got to ask the question.

Was one of the try assists that he is credited with for the try that he scored?

If the answer is YES then would that also apply to a try scored from a chip and chase or similar where a player kicks, regathers and scores, surely it should not go to the player that passed the ball to the try scorer.

No mate, the pass for Fainu and there was a grubber for kpp second pie

These solo efforts never get the assist that i know of

I know we shouldn’t continually bag players but when you’re on 1.2M a year a little bit of leeway can be given.

Luai should have nailed that game on the weekend.

Is anyone a bit suss on his passing game, that’s bread and butter for a good 5/8

Am I imagining things or is it rare to see Luai throw a good ball, cutout, double pump or draw players in to create an overlap

He has lots going for him but I worry about his passing game….too harsh?

What the little drop off, inside ball.....nothing overly special about that.

I don't know, IMO he has never been a 'real' ball playing type of player.

It's a bit pointless me whinging about it, maybe it helps me deal with our crapiness 🙂

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah nothing special about dragging a couple of defenders away, twisting almost 180 exposing his.back while engaging the.line to potentially get blindsided...to put sam over for a try

Hard.to.please

Mate the vultures are circling . We lose one game and they turn on the club. It got missed but this forum and our fanbase is full of the worst toxic fandom by some . If it’s not giving these people the dopamine hit at all times , they’re like junkies hanging out . The toxicity is through the roof .uts pathetic to read in my opinion . We lost by 4’points and you’d think it was 40…..

We are talking about the first try? I saw it differently, I thought it was basically a drop off?

Maybe some are too easy too please. 😉Just my opinion, no need to become snarky.

I saw him put a nice kick in for a try.

Funny thing was plenty were tipping souths to win and they were the favorites...i think it was the fact that we played well enough to create the chance to win that game quite comfortably yet didn't come out on top that has fans riled up.

Man the psychiatrists are out? Not even to able to express an opinion without being judged.

Let me be judgy then, this comment sounds like narrcisist behaviour which often means someone has a serious problem and requires sedation.

I'll say it slowly for you "It's okay to express an opinion about parts of our 1.2 million dollar man's overall game?"

Settle down, if I have offended you previously then sorry, its all okay.

You cant offend people with an opinion! but now its 2026 and opinions are akin to physical assault.

I’m not coming on here saying X player is short . Y player is a pea heart , and should leave now etc Hyperbole.
Like I said in another post there’s 2 types of fans posting right now…. Well really 3 the third being objective criticism , to debate ways the team can improve … but I digress ;
1. Weak minded toxic fans who lack resilience and objectivity so come on here and look for scapegoats , especially a player who they can pile on with others to feed some of that dopamine they lost went he team lost ;
Or,
2. People are coping with fact one of thier favourites is about to leave , feeding into the feeling that this team sux , an the players don’t care and they will always suck , so they bag out this player to try and make themselves feel better because they think that player will leave Z
You and your mate are Clearly point 1 . With the amount of bullshit I’ve see him post the last couple of days . Pair of pea hearts . Which is ironic with the stuff you guys are saying …

 

[Carefactor]

No i think its more the fact that we have seen for decades the type of players that have helped the the club and those that have milked the club.
When a fan has a legitimate opinion about the money spent and the return value it has FA to do with being toxic, its being honest!
Just spending a ton of money on players to keep everyone happy is exactly what we have done for years, and if you think that has been a recipe for sucess well your part of the clubs problem being an abject failure.

Luai was a big reason the blues won the decider in qld. He has won 4 premierships with the panthers. When surrounded by quality players, he looks amazing.

Do we want someone who makes good players look excellent? Or someone who makes average players look good?

The issue on the weekend was our edge. The 2nd row/centre/wing combo on both sides was new. How many halves played on the weekend with a different edge to what they trained with all summer?

Luai is quality 👌

I think we are a little too left dominant , and when wighton shut us down we lost our way a bit . AD was turning the play in far too much when running the ball , and I don’t think they were falling for it , as well as guys weren’t wrapping around to exploit collapsed defences on the right/ thier left . I also thought at the end we lacked patience , that we had in the first half .

[You Know Who]

Luai has been very good so far this season, and already looks way more comfortable than he did last year when he was playing the 7.

In early 40s bro . Those days are gone my guy . I let it go for a couple of days on here hoping it was prisoner of the moment stuff … but it still going into Monday morning , I was like … come on ! It just gave me Luke Brooks memories .
I hate pile ons . Like when people used to back me up against @Tucker , I appreciated it , don’t get me wrong , but I felt like I was rabble rousing , and leading the pitch forks.
Anyways … the mob can get ugly . I know it makes me
Look like a dick . I get that . But I’m hoping drawing this much attention to it , will stop it . The Luke Brooks stuff got seriously out of control .

out for 4 weeks, wish him a speedy recovery. IMO we are a better side with him than without. Opening for others to step up and make a mark.
