OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

Give HBG what they want. Bring back the Magpies.

They can play in reserve grade, the NRL licence can be sold to someone competent & we can stop playing in the mirage that we are anything more than a feeder side for big clubs.
What the hell has Luai going to PNG got to do wth HBG - it was the saviour Richardson who set up the contract.
 
I'd feel much more confident about all this if Richo was still in charge and we didn't have such a completely incompetent board.
Yeah I dunno pete....this has all so far been handled well imo....all done in less than three days, 60 odd hours.
No specualation, no guessing..we cant stop media narratives and our other players off contract are still in the same spot as they were before all this...its not like PNG has been suddenly sprung on us all its been known well in advance

We handle this perfectly imo
 
The contract is not the problem it's the fact that he is being used as a possible recruiter for a cashed up club looking to put together a competitive team. This is not one quality player moving on to an established club fulfilling his contract - he is being encouraged to bring blokes with him while we pay him 1,2 for the privilege.
Some may not see that as a problem but it doesn't sit well with me.
 
It’s an absolute rort about the nov 1 rule, poor old Perth will get smashed ever week and these guys get double the salary cap, I think PVL is playing a dangerous game tho, any drama in the compound and the place will be a nightmare, or worse it will only take one person to rob it or anything like that and his plan goes tits up
Robberies , murders , kidnappings , blokes walk the streets with machetes, woman rapped , seriously dangerous place to live in parts of, plus the local thugs on the streets , sounds like Australian news but over there it’s ten fold , this is a very tough ask for the nrl to make work
 
Think they did as well as they could in the press conference…

The media narrative will be shaped by the results on the filed in the short term…and how they go re-signing players in the next 6-9 months

Yet Luai went over there to see for himself and couldn’t sign up quick enough

Yeah, but they won’t be living among the plebs. It’s a glorified working holiday. They’ll be out of there yesterday the moment their contracts are up.
 
They will also be about as well protected as the Prime Minister ..probably gunna have more taxpayer money spent on AFP protection
I know I’m thinking in extremes. But if one of them gets killed or seriously injured, then how do the NRL respond? “It’s a tragedy. We truly didn’t see this coming”.

I think it’s a pretty low risk anything happens …but yeah it’s not zero…

I said when this was first proposed … it’s pretty unprecedented in World sport that I can think of …it would be like the NFL putting a team permanently based in Mexico City ..
 
Peops still thinking HBG had no involvement lol.

Richo negotiating clauses out in November last year.

Gets punted.

Club is a full on basket case for the whole off season.

Player agents concerned and other clubs telling players and agents the tigers are a basket case.

Richo goes
Jarome goes
Bula, May ?

How many players will it take before people realize HBG are a cancer to this club?

Richo is the most capped CEO in the game. Taken 3 teams from the bottom to premierships and another from bankruptcy to a prelim.

How many have done that? Zero.

What have HBG done? Run this club into the ground since Balmain went into administration.
