OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

You gotta assume Latu Fainu is a big part of this. Why would he re-sign when he can’t sniff his preferred position. Benji saying righto kid, now there’s a clear pathway, time you and Samuela put ink to paper?

 

[king_sirro]

And I say they aren’t making it either scenario … it’s an opinion just like yours is

So if they arent making it either way then isnt llit wise to do whatever we can to build to the future rather than tread water for another year with a guy thats leaving?

Well, he hasn’t re-signed…Yet. And I’d say nothing is for sure with this kid. Supposedly letting Galvin go early was supposed to give him a leg up, yet here we are.

I’m sure they believe, but you can’t tell me there isn’t a performative aspect when they all do it in the middle of the field.

Seriously?
Do you think when a.player crosses himself.running out to play is an act too...or a.muslim doing what they do?

Not really. But there is a difference between a player crossing himself, and everyone gathering in a big circle and taking a knee. More proof of the game being Americanised.

Whats the difference?

And what do you believe in? Clearly nothing which is probably why you're so miserable all the time.

Imagine if everyone had your mentality. What a miserable place we'd live in.

 

[king_sirro]

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 ?

Forgive my ignorance, but what was Jerome's post?

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Maybe. But it’s another black eye for the club. Another year of a marquee player walking out early. The club has to bear some responsibility.

IMO the tigers have given this plenty of thought and consideration.
The conclusion;
1. Benji drives the culture
2. Benji attracts players
3. Luai not providing value for money.
4. Latu and Andrews killing it in KOE as a halves combo. Readymade replacements.
5. Money to shop around for depth

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Whats the difference?

Crossing yourself is a personal thing. It’s a quick act of faith someone does for themselves, whether anyone notices or not. A group huddle to pray is different because it’s a public, visible display that involves a bunch of people. That’s why I’d call it performative. Its a public display of religion rather than a private act of devotion.

 

[TonyTiger]

It’s another rumour mate … bit like when Bula was leaving

I believe we would love Luai gone (I do) but with the Vegas trip in mind he won’t intentionally be going anywhere - unfortunately..
👍,Latu, Doueihi and Andrew’s are our future focus and they need blooding next season.

Hopefully we never reach the point where players are coerced or risk exclusion if they don't join prayer circles like in the US.

Some people don't like when politics and sport mix, and I feel the same way about religion.

Forgive my ignorance, but what was Jerome's post?

I have no idea mate … I don’t speak jive or anime or whatever the kids are doing these days ..

It caused a bit if a stir though 10 minutes after the game

 

[Tucker]

It’s been a long time coming.
I haven’t enjoyed his stay with us one bit.
Batman?
Pigs arse.
Great decision by the club.
Cut the dead wood.

I’m young and couldn’t even understand it but it did seem to rile a lot up

Whenever I think about peak American sports culture, I think about this clip. Could you imagine Terrell May or Alex Twal, coming out at the presser at the captains run tomorrow morning and crying like this about how Jerome is their halfback. It would be national news for the next decade. In the US, they are so desensitised to this shit, it’s out of the news by lunch time

Disagree but we might leave it there as to not go off topic

Yeah..
He's been exposed as a fraud, and hasn't been able to dominate without Nathan, over hyped and over paid, unfortunately

Always the players fault & never the clubs fault with our club ehhh

 

[GNR4LIFE]

There’s one guy who comes out of all these dramas looking like a million bucks, and that’s Api. Given the way he’s carried this team the last 3 years, the blood, sweat and tears he has expended, if there was one player you could excuse for saying “F this. I’m out,” it’s him. Maybe he’s a masochist. Poor bastard.
