OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[Dennisspicer1]

Just one thing that I think needs to be pointed out Dennis, It's not LABOUR, it's actually LABOR.

The reason is that they don't care about U or me when it comes down to it. 😡

I will say one more thing and that is that you were 100% correct about ALBANESE BEING AN IDIOT. ✅

Thanks teach for the correction.

Give him a BBQ.

For old times sake

Not sure why this is a shock. I said a month ago that Benii would ride the dead horse all the way to the finish line, and here we are.

Because Benji has honour and integrity. That’s why he has the backing of so many.

Yep. Benji had no choice. As he said, he respects people who show respect. Benji is trying to set cultural standards and clear lines of what he accepts and what he doesn't.

If Benji were to have dropped Luai, after he did everything right contractually and with respect to the club. What message would that send? It would impact our recruitment chances in the future.

Benji played it correctly.

Jarome has broken no rules. The only thing wrong he has done in the process is the I'm here for life talk he came up with in July last year after constant media questioning about his clauses. It makes him look stupid now, but since then he's done nothing wrong. Trip to PNG in April was before his clause would be deactivated on April 30 until November for going to market, with the PNG opportunity and money not likely as high if he wasn't the first signing. His form has been very poor. He has also been a constant feature on daily news segments and drama shows targeting him solely even during games where he wasn't that bad. The club moved him on when he was happy to stay another year under contract. It's an easy scapegoat this PNG thing

The same Benji Marshall that showed up on TV in an Auckland Blues jersey while still under contract to WT?

That Benji?

I thought Ivan valued him at a bit less than that, around 700k.

In a good team like Penrith, he's arguably worth $700k. But his output for the Tigers is on par with a back-up half on 250k.

Ivan is no fool.

Give him a BBQ.

For old times sake

Give him a kick up the arse on the way out.

Maybe technically he hasnt broken any rules, but whilst contracted with the wests tigers, promoting png chiefs wearing 001 is as shit as it gets.
