Klemmer would take your mum out to dinner and not call her back. A measure of a true gentleman.

Well they do win a lot of football games, it brings certain perks for your mindset. You could argue they are the total opposite of us.

We needed a bigger tantram but the longer it goes I'm pretty confident it's for next year.

Well, absolutely is a massive leap when dealing with human beings who can always change their mind but I'm more certain he's wants to be here rather than the dogs......or Penrith .
Been confident that there has been a willingness for a while.

Ch9 earlier had a lead in story about Nathan Cleary wanting to convince Luai to stay a Panther. I think the only thing the highest paid player at the club could say to convince him is that he will take a pay cut himself if it helps Luai stay. What else could he say? Money isn't important...

A lot of the hate directed towards Luai is media spin. They jump on every little thing he does. The media love to bring down people that appear to have a bit of confidence in themselves. In all fairness, when I've seen him interviewed he does come across as far more humble than you expect...

I think there is more to the story about him not training than meets the eye. I think he has been upset since Ivan’s comments to the press.
If some how he does leave the panthers early I won’t feel any pity for them, I haven’t forgotten how they had no issue taking our coach who was also under contract.
For some reason I think if he has signed with us or agreed to terms with us, he will honour it. I just don’t see him as a person that would go back on his word, I think his word is important to him.
As for him owing the panthers, I think he has done a lot for the panthers, it’s time for him to do what he thinks is best for him & his young family.
I think we have him, which season we get him remains to be seen but I don’t see the sense in any club keeping a player that isn’t happy to be there.
I don’t agree, pamfers have had this policy for sometime now. We are the weak team that buckles at any players request to leave. Although Cleary is a massive tool, it was us that let him leave. That’s on us!
I hope we change our stance and hold players/coaches to their contract in the future.
That’s a great get and first time I’m seeing it. It’s obviously fake cause there was no reference to ”the masthead”

Nothing to.it this stuff happens... Must be a bit stressful for. Him at the moment, he requested a week off at a time that's not crucial, his club responded positively letting him get his head together.
Respect all round sometimes things pop up we just gotta take a break from it all

Apologies if already posted:
Former NSW coach Brad Fittler backs Jarome Luai to make Wests Tigers move a success
Former NSW coach Brad Fittler believes Jarome Luai doesn't need to replicate Nathan Cleary's play to justify his $1.2 million price tag with the Wests Tigers.
The reason? Tigers hooker Apisai Koroisau.
Having handed Luai his Origin debut, Fittler believes on top of having the creative hooker by his side, Luai's attitude in general means he can make the move to Wests a success.
"I think [Luai] thrives on people suggesting he can't do something," Fittler told The Sydney Morning Herald. "I'd suggest he'll find a way to do it. He puts up with a lot, Jarome, and he seems to have that ability to use it to push himself.
"And with Nathan Cleary, he obviously brings a lot of the traditional halfback play while Daly Cherry-Evans, Jahrome Hughes, Sam Walker, they bring a different [style], don't they?
"You do have to tick certain game management boxes but as long as your playmaking spine, between the three of you, has them covered, there's no reason why [Luai] couldn't be a halfback.
"If you look at Api in particular, so much of their game is played off him, and he can do what it might take other teams two players to do, that freeing-the-ruck-up side of things. Api can do that pretty much on his own.
"I think it's about having a group or a spine of players to get those basics right more than just one player."
Even though Penrith coach Ivan Cleary questioned Luai's playmaking credentials in warning rival clubs from signing him, he was the chief playmaker at last year's World Cup, steering the island nation to a final against the Kangaroos.
Fittler said having Marshall as his coach will also benefit Luai, with the Tigers coach growing into the playmaker role as his career progressed.
"Benji did it himself, didn't he?" Fittler added. "Benji wasn't a traditional halfback, but he ended up playing h loalfback his way.
"Some of Benji's best footy was at the end [of his career] and he was playing a completely different role. He's a great example of the possibilities here. And again, Jarome's just never had that responsibility. So I think there's a lot of just assuming he can't do it, just because he's never had to.
"And Jarome does have a really nice [long] kick on him. Maybe not as far as Nathan Cleary. Traditionally, that kicking game is the halfback's job, and I'm sure [Luai] could do it. He's had arguably the best teacher right there too by playing next to [Cleary], one of the best at it".

Yes. Freddy is backing Luai to be a dominant 7 which is what we need.
