OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[GNR4LIFE]

Really puts into perspective how well Dylbags is going. I know that’s a long contract, and he’ll definitely have his quiet periods and come under pressure, but he’s jumped out of the blocks as well as you could ask. And he was never considered a 7 either,

Maybe Dylans coach might have more of an idea than Luai's

I've got no problem with Luai leaving except...
He was the central figure about getting on the bus when Galvin broke his contract
All the times he said he was going nowhere and was committed
He has completely derailed this season 5-2 before PNG announcement 2-8 since

Helped attract some good players here and probably did some good work on the training paddock and with culture. But good riddance. There are consequences for actions and karma has bitten him.

Will be a disaster in PNG with this clown as the marquee

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

If Luai is going to play like he did last night, it's better if we see Latu or Andrews in the halves from now on.

 

[Telltails]

I'm not sure what made people think Luai would play well last night given the leak that we are trying to off load him. Can't possibly have been in a great head space - let alone in a position to face a presser after the game.

 

[mtd#2]

Someone made comment that Luai was crying after the match... I didn't see this on the tv.. all I saw was him laughing with the warriors hooker after we were pumped..

Anyone got further info on this?

 

[Betterdays22]

Was in tears after the game. For all the abuse he cops it’s easy to forget he’s an actual human being at the end of the day and this has obviously been affecting him.

Anyone who goes and abuses a professional athlete who has more talent and work ethic and has achieved more in half a career than most peoples lifetimes is just a straight up loser.

Dont care if he hurt your feelings because your football team lost. Probably the same blokes complaining about how women are "too emotional" or whatever.

Jarome Luai to depart Wests Tigers

The Wests Tigers can confirm that Jarome Luai will depart the Club at the conclusion of the 2026 NRL season.

[davey_farrell]

He must have signed somewhere (parramatta) for this email to come out...would be a bit embarressing if he was departing but no one actually picked him up.. on his current performances 900k is a lot of money to fork out

 

[Telltails]

He will get picked up if not already and will be relieved to get out. The NRL community is well aware that you don't measure a player by their time at WTs especially one that has reached a level of success elsewhere.
Meanwhile more pressure on Benji.

 

[UnderTheBus]

Now that it’s official, he has to be our 19th man for the rest of the year. There is no point starting him

could be good for Luai to get away from the nrl for a while anyway the whole situation does seem to be taking a toll on him

I’ll still be surprised if they can get him away at $900k …will be really happy if it happens though

 

[Milky]

I don’t think 19th man, we would be silly not to have him in the team at all

He can come off the bench and play lock forward, allowing Twal to move into the rotation

 

[davey_farrell]

yup best case scenario... Pressure will be on Marshall to get this right or we are in a world of hurt

‘The Tigers had reservations about Luai’s third party commitments with PNG-based companies despite being contracted to the club next season’ daily telegraph.

“It’s a cloud that would’ve likely hung over Jarome’s head,” Mielekamp said.

Danny weidler on Triple M also spoke about these 3rd party deals and he needed to start servicing next year which Tigers not happy about.

Hang on...what?
Is this a general statement or did he cop some last night which ended in tears...did something happen?

The WTs $1.2 million not enough for him next year...gotta start getting those tax free $$$ asap.
Meanwhile some people are dreading their next electric bill

I don't even understand how that is legal..... To receive money from TPA's for you next contract whilst still playing for your current contract..... Seems extremely suss.... So much for an even playing field ........
