OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

I didn't raise the topic I simply added to a discussion

No you didn’t, you came in like a furious drunk trying to swing haymakers.
It was funny.

Again, that’s rubbish.
You are not giving fans near enough credit for their knowledge.
You are commenting about a forum that has a lot of older members, who’ve seen it all.
Criticising a kid who loses games on his own is totally fair…and he did. Hopefully he learns from that and more importantly his coach does.
100% not ready for this level and it was the fan and media hype train that got him there.

Its not something specific to this forum, which is fairly moderate compared with your standard fan.

We agree re Makasini, but he is a good example of the issues with the fan base who go all in on these guys then chew them out in an instant. Kid had only ever played against school kids, should not have played as much as he did but held his gloves up all year only to get ridiculed.

Haha now you're making things up in your mind

Well, there are contradicting narratives around this. Benny Elias was on NRL 360 tonight and stated he heard that the club knew he was going overseas, but were not aware that it was to PNG. Not taking it as gospel by any means, but if that is the case, then he really did the club dirty.

Yeh apparently the entire board, CEO and Benji was "blindfolded" by Luais first trip to PNG in April...dunno how the others keep a straight face when Bennys tripping over his own words.

If what he says is true however...not good, but somehow i think hes stretching it a tad

 

[happy_tiger]

Maybe we are all wrong about Luai ......Benny Elias agrees with us 😆

 

[Telltails]

I can't be bothered hating on players that don't live up to expectations while they are here there is too many of them. Glad he is gone - and I was on board with him - but it's obvious he is completely invested in PNG and the trimmings that come with it.

With all due respect that stuff is totally irrelevant. It is not a competition. Of course I'd respect the people that put their lives on the line such as police officers, soldiers, etc over a professional athlete. None of his misdemeanours are as serious as people make them to be. If one's happiness is dependent on the win/loss ratio of their football team they have bigger issues in life. There's always that starving kid in Africa type of analogy one can fall back on, which is irrelevant to the initial discussion

Its extremely relevant as it keeps things in perspective, keeps us humble. When were humble we dont feel the need to post cryptic gibberish on the internet cause we know in the big scheme of things were not that important.

Good on you mate that Brandy is a world class arsehole. I’ve been in rooms with him a couple of times. Arrogant doesn’t begin to describe him.

It wasnt even about Cleary, that aggrevated me, it was that the up start just assumed i wanted his autograph because i looked at him. How far up yourself must your head be.

 

[liltiger]

I am retired now after working for the same company for over 40 years what I do know is that if I could have earned close to 50% more dollars for another company doing the same job nearing the end of my working life I would have jumped at it.
People having a go at Luai for looking after himself and his family wouldn’t worry him at all.
It’s not his fault that these Clubs (Wests included) offered him an unbelievable salary that he couldn’t say no to.

Same as Galvin, no one is begrudging you for leaving, but do it with some class and grace.

 

[Leck]

I have no idea to be honest. Our fanbase is right up there with toxicity along with the Bulldogs fans. They are probably more bandwagons whereas our fans are just depressed and have to take anger out on something

The true reality is that we have been poorly managed. 11 coaches in 26 years is unreal, out of control, and absolutely unbelievable.

So, is it the coaches, the players, or is this the worst organisation in the NRL ever?

Magpies supporters, wake up. HBG need to go.

Another day, another cryptic Luai post

View attachment 44059

Obviously, he doesn't have any idea how important relationships are. This is an AI generated image of Shikamaru Nara, who would manipulate people and play a game in the comic Naruto.

It seems very relevant now.

Richo never said that .. Jesus Christ do you people ever let the truth get in the way of your narrative? Richo, the guy that was knifed in the back a year ago, said he believed our spine was as good on paper as any spine in the comp.. Benji is employed by HBG .. I’m sure he is well aware of the lack of self serving , incompetent D1ckheads he answers to, which is why he tries to separate the league team from them to the best of his ability . This fandom is freaking toxic, I can barely stand to read the nonsense, the duplicity, the absolute spite I see directed at our players and Benji so I understand why any origin class player would laugh at the offer to come here.. we want players loyal to the club but we show them all zero respect and loyalty.. Terell may has been incredible for us and yet morons on here call him pillow and soft and stat padder..ffs he tries his heart out every week..and he and his brother are the type that leave ot all out their fir the jersey.. their team mates LOVE them, they are the type of bloke you would want in the trenches with you, they would die for their mates and yet we put crap on them? The way so called fans talk about makasini is absolutely disgusting, the bloke is 19 and as soon as he shows some form we will be begging him to stay and stressing that we will lose him.. Jesus it makes me sick.. you get what you give and Benji is doing a hell if a Job imo .. Kpp and averillo running off some real ball plating halves and Heywood and api could be anything next year…give them some grace ..

So you agree with my post then? 🤣

Magpies supporters, wake up. HBG need to go.

"Forget the past and look forward to the future".. they say, with 3 magpies on the jersey, a magpies koe side and games at lidcombe.

** i know its only a handful.. there are plenty of magpies faithful on here who are fully onboard with the JV

 

[Leck]

As supporters we've being supporting this club financially and filling HBG's pockets for so many years.

All of HBG's future intentions will lead to the club falling apart, I guarantee this will happen unless we get rid of them.

The problem is no-one appears to have a clue how to achieve that. We had the principal and owner of a law firm on our board for a while. I figure if anyone could come up with an appropriate strategy to get us out of HBG it would have been him.
We're still here.

The Jerome Luai era has ended in disappointment both on and off the field

I don't think we are filling their pockets

 

[Surfers Paradise WT Fan]

Hope the boys fold the cat next year

 

[matchball]

Around and around we go. Lot of us were saying HBG needs to go a decade ago yet here we are. Still in the same loop.

Love to see him in a few spoons

Yeah, that’ll show him. Wishing him spoons or even injury is futile. If you want him to suffer, you want it to be in his hip pocket. Like the tax free incentive blowing up in the players faces, leaving them to earn nothing. Or all of his endorsement deals eating shit. That’s what you should want to see. Not him getting a spoon. Who cares. He’ll only wipe his tears away with hundred dollar bills and post it on Insta.
