OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[TigerBurnsy]

If we weren't playing the Roosters Penrith and the Cowboys at home there might be some merit for not playing Luai but putting youngsters in that are likely going to face three hammerings is not fair on them.
He needs to be there till the bitter end. Id say he would happily sit it out rather than play in those games.

Yea don’t burn the young blokes with these big scores let ad and Luai cop the cricket scores, let the young blokes build confidence in reggies

I reckon Jarome is 💯 trying.
The energy he is playing with is decent, it’s just he is not the quality of player that we expected him to be.
He simply does not have the quality to lift a struggling team, but will always play well when surrounded by quality players.
Unfortunately for us when spending 1.2 million out of our salary cap, we need a player with the qualities to be capable of lifting a struggling team.
Not quite the same money, but not far off, we now have Jahream and Terrell who also do not have the qualities to lift a struggling team.

I believe this to be true - he had no idea what he was walking into. It can break most players

we are going to get pasted anyway both Roosters and Penrith need to keep improving there for and against

We could end up with the most lopsided for and against of any team that DOESN'T win the wooden spoon.

Obviously the individual is to blame but that missed tackle. Man, I've never seen him get even close to being this bad at Penrith or Samoa or NSW.

Remember when he signed, he said he reviewed all our games that year and was 100% sure if he had been playing we would have made the finals? lol.

He fooled us all in sooooo many ways. He has always been a grub. We got sucked in because we were so desperate for hope. Worst signing in this diabolical clubs history.

I think we have proven time and time again that no matter how high the quality of player we have bought, they turn to crap as soon as they don our colours. It’s difficult for any player to stand out consistently in such a consistently shit team.

We’ve bought some good players over the years, who were playing well with their respective clubs at the time of purchase, but in just about every case these players have dropped in form and effectiveness the longer they stay with us. It’s like the losing culture here just swallows them up and they are never the player they once were, again.

None of those past players had the ability to turn our losing culture and low standards around. Luai was the first real hope in so many years that things could actually change for the better around here. It started off well, but as we are all now witnessing, it’s turning to garbage once again. The losing culture and low standards are back worse than ever, imo.

I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with this joint. We can all say it’s because of HBG, but should a disconnected ownership and board really have that much effect on how a footy team performs on the field each week? There has to be something else, something inexplicable, something spiritual, something seemingly beyond repair.
