OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Viva_Zapata]

Finally, some sense. Shammas can say what he wants, but ultimately he knows that the monetary player benefits are a rort. What's good for one club should apply to all, regardless of the politics. This applies to the Bears tenfold.

If he weren't the General Manager of Fluff and was still working as a 'senior reporter' for Nine, he'd be tearing holes into this highly questionable franchise.

The interesting thing is that all the reporters and commentators who work for Nine have either gone quiet or jumped on the bandwagon.

And the locals paying more tax in a developing country to then millionaire foreign players.

Players are going to be so jet lagged traveling to Perth & PNG
From perth to PNG is 10 to 12 hrs
Sheesh

Most teams don’t think he’s worth that … I mean….. do we ? Really ? It’s a fair question imo. What does 2028 Jahrome Luai really look like ?
Remember the last 2 years of the Reynolds deal ?

Honestly Lestronge

This is just the comment of the year.

From Syd -> PNG is long enough, worse then Townsville... but I believe only 50% or less home games are in PNG and the rest Townsville.

I think it was Tallis saying it's great getting a 25 year old player in his prime I think alot of people don't know his real age and 31 in PNG I think would be a good age to go they need dad's army up there

It’s about a five and a half hour direct flight … Im sure this will end up being a charter flight given the lack of a direct commercial flight

all the games will be in Port Moresby …

There is also no way the Cowboys would permit them playing out of Townsville or even Cairns for that matter

Cowboys express concern over NRL expansion

The Cowboys hold concern for the NRL's next big decision.

Anyone know what the night life is like in Port Moresby? The money might be tax free, but they’re gonna have to live like monks.

I hear there are a few places the expats hang …like the yacht club… probably wont be what 20 something NRL players would find all that entertaining ..

They will be back in Aust every second week playing games ..likely be given a night off to let their hair down .

 

[clontarfkid]

I reckon they will base some young familis in Cairns and use that as their second home.
Mums feel safe ..kids get a better education...and get together as a family at least monthly

There'd be a lot of players who's WAGS, (if not complete Bimbos) would point their other halves PNGs way especially if they have a reputation for being boozy, a gambler or just a tad lecherous, their boys will have to put the partying, gambling & their peckers away. 😆😆

They will have plenty of away games to get out and about

Where did you hear only half home games in PNG?

Like everyone else, I was so relieved and happy that the Mays extended. It got me thinking about Luai's signing with the Chiefs. Benji and Jarome are close. I'm sure they would have had a chat where it was agreed that Luai would not work for PNG by getting mates from the Tigers to come across. However, this pact would likely not extend to mates from other clubs such as Brian To'o. With this agreement, Jarome would be continuing to help the Tigers, while also assisting the Chiefs. Apologies if someone earlier in this thread, already made the same comment.

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah but Luai cannot dog team mates out of cash he went for.

How can he?
These men have minds of their own
Hes not going to discourage any if theyre keen either

x2 it does seem that way. It seems like Benji has a plan and he is executing it beautifully. I mean reports came out, what the day after Luia’s announcement that the Tigers were talking to TDM to extend, and a couple of days later it’s announced he and his brother have signed long term. Not to mention being announced on 1 May, aka May-day! Surely it’d take longer than a couple of days to get that over the line.

Either that or we just got very lucky lol

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

The bottom line. It was all about money Jarohme.

Men?
