OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Halbrowne61]

That he is not playing tomorrow? What have you heard mate ?

I’d say doubtful ( strained hammy at captains run today - just joking but gives him an out) )but nothing confirmed as yet !

 

[Halbrowne61]

Luai will probably play better for us than he ever has for the rest of this year - his ego wouldn't let him come across as being seen as a sook

Well M we all know what happens when someone is playing for a contract !

 

[hank37w]

Batman hasn't missed a beat since Robin left.....

. . . . . . and coach Alfred knew what dollar value he actually was.

 

[boonboon]

Rumour is Luai won't play tomorrow, just a rumour nothing confirmed.

I mean he does have concussion symptoms - ignoring everything else they aren't always simple to come back from and should never be rushed

 

[Gazman]

Agreed it starts at the top.
But it's always someone else's fault isn't it. They always point the finger at those they have put in charge and take no ownership.
Same song

That’s happens when a club has no leadership. No one in a high position who commands respect. I can’t remember the last season a player or coach did not walk out

Ryan Matterson
Ivan Cleary
IPap
Stefano
Galvin
TDS

We have no leadership. Therefore, no respect.

Agree been happening for too long not to be coincidental to our leadership DNA

An optimistic perspective and that this isn't as bad as we are initially thinking (who can blame us after the shit we have copped as fans).

I have a theory.. based on nothing but my own assessment of luai and his relationship with Benji and Latu.

Luai's rates Latu highly.. so highly thatv Galvin wanted to leave because he knew long term the plan was to move Galvin to 13 to accommodate latu.

Maybe, just maybe, luai is putting Latu first.. that his comment on socials last week was in reference to latu.. and that he knows within himself he isn't all in with the tigers anymore with one eye on PNG.

Maybe???

 

[Just Doueihi It]

Good call by Benji and good business by the club if they can find a buyer, he is surplus to needs. Based on form, the alternative is to play him in reserve grade, and that is throwing money down the toilet… At least this way the Tigers can get some compensation.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Tbh i know our stupid clauses allowed this circus but he's been more trouble than he's worth. He led the way with the Galvin fiasco which derailed that season. Then he went on to do something similar to what Galvin did, which derailed this season now he's being petulant in the background.
He's not a leader certainly not a captain, give me Doueihi everyday of the week and twice on Sunday's, can't go soon enough imo.

 

[Chunk]

I find this hard to believe because who would want him?

And people thought he was the saviour? It was clear Penrith didn't want him and there was a reason why. He may have changed the attitude a bit in the club and maybe helped bring a player or two to the club but his perfomances have been sub par, so overall, a failure and a very expensive one.

Lets hope he's not in the ear of some of the current players, and lets hope he's not talking the joint down in general, outside the club.

I still hope that he's going to play to part of the level of what we're paying him, he still may have it in him.

A less optimistic proposal ..:
Do you think it’s possible tnat Benji didn’t like that post he did last week after the game and there has been a falling out ?

Perth would take him … it’s worth it to them in publicity alone … but he still has to agree to go which I doubt is happening for 1 year and then going to PNG

I see how he could be surplus to us, he doesn't change our team much.

But it just looks so bad, and to give another club a cheap leg up yet again is frustrating.

This club is so frustrating.

 

[hank37w]

Ockhams Razor- reckon he will go early to PNG to help them set up, also take part in recruitment activity and promotion work.

Stupid idea if they let him. A year out of the game to be a media puppet. #legacy

They've already got one media puppet/muppet up there, how many do they need? 🤣

One step forward with all the recent re-signings. And now two steps back.

Im purely speculating, but it may have contributed.. potentially even been the trigger for the conversation, especially if it publicly challenged Benjis decision as a coach.

Yeah, no club is paying $1.2.... unless it's Perth.

 

[Sully]

I think Luai would accept being a franchise start up player at two new clubs and with Perth next year and PNG the year after.

We sure know how to implode as a club.

No, but someone may offer 800, we throw in 400 and we are 800 better off.
Now, do I hear 800 !!

Its the Wests tigers mate...more like we throw in 800 and receive offers for 400 lol
