OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[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

 

[Tom Shines]

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

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

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

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.

 

[innsaneink]

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.

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 ........

He came to us as wooden sooners and we won't be that at the end of it.

I'm ok with his time here.

We've got a few assets like Mays, Fainus. Bula etc to sign with us. Maybe he helped, maybe he didn't. Who knows, but thanks JL, won't be hating on you like i have hated others.

Yeah that’s not cool

 

[EllisFan]

Latu Fainu needs the 7 jersey and the green light to call the shots for the rest of the season. AD to centre. The future is now. We won’t do great things until he gets some proper reps in FG so patience will be needed.

 

[Leck]

I don’t see him leaving as a bad thing at all. However, we seem to be in a loop of making one player the scapegoat, and once they are gone, watch out. Brooks, Galvin and now Luai. Groundhog Day.

Luke was with us for 10 years, however he was poorly coached and managed. He’s now finally found some better form at Manly under Foran.

Galvin and his family are banking on his potential at the Dogs, while Luai wants to go straight to the bank and cash his cheques in with the Chiefs.

Luai is a very astute businessman. The big dollars rule his business decisions.
He knows his football ability is less than the dollars on offer.
Who can't see that?

True. The WTs being astute in wanting him to depart and use the $ elsewhere. One can only speculate as to how much pressure there is now on Perth and PNG to sign players.

I have no problem with a man wanting to create a future for his family.

What I don't like is a liar.

 

[upthetigers]

Parra losing Volkman to sign Luai for 1 year, we're not the only basketcase

I’d be frothing at Luai and Moses halves if I was a Parra fan. He might not do much here but don’t forget Penrith and previous origin form with Moses

Add TDS, Smith, Iongi,etc they look good

Hard pass on Mitchell. You never date a girlfriend you've already broken up with.

Ennis is a very average analyst. Everyone used to give Buzz a hard time, but he had incredible footy relationships and an impressive hit rate when it came to breaking stories.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Great way to finish the week, and an excellent decision to punt him.

Jarome has proven to be an actor who can't play the lead role or stay true to his word.

He's been more interested in promotional deals than playing good footy.

Well you don’t think Ivan let him go thinking he had any good football left in him !
