OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

if he has backflipped on perth it would seem he would be heading to dogs or staying at souths.
He would be a good signing though, however I think the luai stuff has come a little late i reckon he back flipped due to interest from dogs

He was a ball boy for Wests Tigers during 2010-2013 because of his dad, wishful thinking but hopefully it converted him to being a fan lol

I reckon with Luai’s money being available we’d be able to offer him a competitive deal and then who knows
 
I see that the WTs have finally found out what they really bought in JL...1.2mil and hasnt really lived up to that price tag,he maybe a great guy etc,but he never reached the heights here as he did with the Panthers...why ? because in my opinion he had far more experienced and talented players to play with,here he has had mainly kids and fringe fgers..
I wish him all the best,our youth will get the opportunity to develop and be the core of the WTs for a few years while Benji and co start to recruit good players to compliment the team..
We don't seem to have the depth to put in place when our good players are out..

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.

100%

The St George game, it's close and Api leaves the field. Suddenly we give up and let through a bunch of tries.

I love Api, but I wonder if that is a part of the problem. Our team need to own the game and own the effort. Api is always putting in 100%, others are slacking off.


This sounds weird, I wonder if holding Api back a bit and let someone else start. Make the team own the performance and take more tackles. I wonder if it would get the rest of the team putting in. Thinking have Api come off the bench.

Sadly we don't have anyone crying out to be hooker. Really wish we did.

I dont know how amicable his dad's split was
from memory we got flogged by souths 54 to 10 or something and he re-signed the next day
it was very sudden

That to me is the major problem
...relying on API far to much instead of stepping up and backing him..as we all know the NRL isn't a one man game,if the players are in the top 30 they all should know how the game is played...imo,step up or step out.. this is what kills confidence and talent..RELYING ON ONE MAN...

I agree with a slightly different slant. Imagine having a team where we have more than 1 personality with elite traits that try 100% of the time regardless.

It’s why players like Seyfarth gets a run every week.

I don't think he should receive any payments whilst at tigers. It blurs the lines. What if he was here next year then one of those making payments asked for something? Where does the loyalty lay? We dont need the drama next year. We didn't need the drama this year. Injuries or not, the Luai decision has derailed our season the same way Galvin did.. 2/10.

Injuries derailed our season, and players not giving 100%, and that does not include Luai. I'm a contractor and I see this crap all the time, but if you dwell on this for weeks or months you're not a professional.

It's like no one is allowed to leave of their own free will or everything is your fault. Clubs created this environment of uncertainty. Fair dinkum, this game is worse than an old wives club.

Samuela is top priority - let’s not get distracted, he’s on everyone’s lips and we can’t expect him to take unders to re-commit - open the safe.
We don’t need some Family Tree halfback option, yes the Humphrey name is famous and his Dad went to England to secure Lote Tukiri for us BUT we have 3 great halves options already with Douehe, Latu and Andrews - maybe even Schuster if he pulls his finger out.

I honestly wonder what is next year's problems we all know that there will be one never boring at Tiger Town

I don't care what anyone says injuries,lack of depth they were definately contributing factors. But this contract situation would have been bubbling away in the background the group would have known about it or certain factions did. Of course it plays a massive part, just like the Galvin situation did so did this, its hard to say but we allowed it to happen to ourselves.

I don’t want him as a halfback, I reckon he has lock written all over him
