OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[clontarfkid]

Im two minded about his departure..he and Richo played a huge role in transforming the culture..and .im just not sure Benji has the capability to sustain it on his own tbh
On the other hand,he adds very little to our current playing roster..Madden and a fit Latu cld easily cover him..maybe better.
So its $1.2 mill we can save
But appreciate his input into getting us to where we are
I think he will go...tax freev $$...which makes Bulas retention critical

All good mtd no fullback no 5/8 no worries !!!! we’ll have a stack of cash for our young guys that haven’t indicated they want to stay either hahaa

You must have PTSD mate ..😂

You know he is 31 years old come 28 and would be leaving 2 years later anyway ? What will happen then ?

And now they are winning games and happy ..saw it onTerrells podcast in fact

Correct, and why is that?

Because of structures put in place by richo and benji...the actions of the independent board.

i mean, if you are happy to go back to the days pre richo where the club had a selection commitee, by all means

We lost two players last year at the exact same time ? Ofc we have PTSD

Don’t know how any player could risk so much by heading to this club. Tax free dollars to live in a third world country with no education for your kids and all it takes for you to be out of a job is some international political deal with China totally out of your control. Wayyy too much risk vs reward for me but it’s not me in the shoes of someone getting a contract

You realise there are literally hundreds if not thousands of Aussie expats living and working there now ? Probably most getting paid less money and living somewhere with less security than what the NRL team will have

Kids go to private schools in Oz...Mum has a 3 br escape house on the beach somewhere in Oz
Like winning the lottery..its serious $$
Plus..he gets to do what he does best..wld be a freat get for Chiefs and give them cred
Got a feeling his work here is done,and he can do it all again tax free

It was an episode within the last 12 months. Let me know how you go.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Fold the club then mate

we are run by dopes in hbg who have.a.track record of sacking independent boards and an excellent ceo

[mtd#2]

Nice straw man 😂

Sign of a strong argument, ignore facts and call someone names

 

[mtd#2]

like I said … I don’t recall it …I watch him every week

Probably Spencer or sitili

Why would I bother making sh1t like this up?

I dunno mate,,, just saying it’s the first I’ve heard of it … I don’t necessarily believe everything I read here

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

The culture in the club has improved out of sight and the players are tight.

I would be shocked if Luai didn't discuss it with his team mates and probably received their blessing, Benji also.
