OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[liltiger]

I don't think he's the villain, he's a hero as far as I'm concerned to make this decision and leave.

I'm positive the Tigers would of been very happy that he decided to leave, and most of the players as well.

Even though you like a bloke off the field it's what goes down on the field that counts and these guys were probably looking at him, thinking, "1.2m really?"

Imo iv got nothing but respect for Luai. Talk of if he was sucessfull depends on a personal outlook. Some say no cause we didnt make finals. Im in the camp if in the next few years we position ourselves as a regular finals team then Luai was a huge success as the circuit breaker the club brought in to teach us standards and requirements for success. Either way Ciraldo, Moses, Munster, Bellamy and loads of other people said a hard no to what Luai had the guts to try and do. You have to respect that. He tried what the rest werent willing to. On the pitch he didnt perform like at Penrith, though we arnt the Penrith team he really didnt have much to work with coming to the three time wooden spooners, yet always put in and tried. I think letting him go now is in everyones best interests he is moving in another direction, now the club has to, better to just rip the bandaid off. Once hes gone though i wont be hating on him like i do Moses or Galvin. Good luck to him. Hope he finds success at P.N.G he deserves it.

There was just that short period of time when WT was not a bun fight of disharmony and media leaks. Gosh. What could have changed? And more importantly, what stayed the same? 🤔🤔🤔

Funny hey Suzie, at the Wests Tigers it just seems that the more things change, the more things just stay the same. Theres only ever been one constant through out our vast majority of failed history. Two sides of a merger that prob never wanted to merge and did it to survive. Then an ownership group who make incompetence sound competent.

Stop it you guys , that ship sailed and we waved it goodbye.

Hopefully that ship gets sunk going though the Straits of Hormuz. 🤣

So when does Benji or West Board admit they got the Laui signing expectations wrong??

You're welcome to listen to it your choice, I won't be they keep the heavy artillery ready for us.

Its more complex than your analogy

How do you feel about Jarome receiving 3rd party payments from PNG during the 2027 season? Because that is one of the things the Wests tigers management had issue with..

I would be asking questions if I was a wests tigers sponsor…like where do I get a refund?

I can't blame them teeing off on us every year
we give them the ammo
whether it is
poor field performance
Poor recruitment
Poor Management

How come ? Their logos on the jerseys are in the paper every day..

Penrith offered him $850k as reported here

Canterbury fought them right up until the death think they were around a $1m.

The Canterbury Bulldogs are trying to stage an eleventh-hour hijacking of the Wests Tigers’ big-money Jarome Luai signing, with club honcho Gus Gould holding a formal meeting with the three-time NRL champion on Wednesday. The rushed-together lunchtime meeting, which was…

Refund for what? He is leaving so it's a non issue..he isn't being paid at the moment whilst under contract (that we know of)

I don't have a problem with someone making a dollar

If he's getting PNG payments to promote PNG from now till he starts that's bad because he's a Tiger's player but if it's direct payments and no promotion's of PNG just money into his bank account I don't care about that

I thought I heard on 2GB this morning that a press conference is tomorrow. Don't quote me on that tho.

I agree with this . But what baffles me is the guy who’s been paid the premium and still has all the leverage , has zero ground to stand on when the client decides they no longer want to apart of the arrangement . Especially after you’ve gone ahead and said , yea I’m out for even more money in 18months . Like I said earlier the social contract was already broken by Jahrome. What kind of mental gymnastics does your mind need to pull to reframe the scenario as you’re the victim .
I’m not anti Romey . He did what I would have done and looked after himself and his family . But the moment you do that , all goodwill is lost . Because as I said the social contract is yes tigers are paying you 300-400k overs , but both parties are now all in together . For better or worse. … and like I said he broke that contract . Because I’m sure the unspoken truth was the get out clauses were tokenism….. until they weren’t.

He's a mercenary and I don't have a problem with it as long as he's not promoting PNG and only the Tigers until he leaves
