Jarome Luai

[king_sirro]

Another day another Benny Elias appearance on the news. How appropriate his shirt has FC on it. Anyone care to guess what FC stands for?

What did the effin c say?

 

[Halbrowne61]

According to Chammas- Jarome Luai has signed with Tigers for 6 million over 5 years

Crazy business imo.

 

[liltiger]

I’ve never been this excited about a player signing. This is the real lead domino!

If it gets done, it's the type of signing that other players are willing to take unders to play along side.

 

[liltiger]

There are to many to respond to so I’m just gonna write it here it’s not just Penrith that can negotiate with him for the 10 days dogs are still in play

Don't the 10 days only include his current club.

 

[supercoach]

Luai is a great Signing for the club he will go great at 7 well done tigers for finally landing a big Signing. Better player than Moses

Not sure he is a better player than Moses, but he brings things to us that Moses doesn’t. He is a hard nut, he is ultra competive and a proven winner over a long time. We need these quality probably more than the stuff Moses brings to the table.

Well he doesn’t bring goal kicking, which is certainly a useful asset.

He’s a winner. Moses isn’t.

 

[Halbrowne61]

True, but hypothetically if you dropped Moses in the Penrith side he’d be a winner too.
Can’t forget that Luai has been part of an elite unit with so many different players who can dig them out of a hole.
Very different in Tiger town where he’ll be expected to organise, lead and support. I hope he succeeds, I’m just a bit nervous that we may be expecting too much from him, at top dollar !!

You can’t argue a negative. He’ll never be in the Panther system so we’ll never know.

 

[hammertime]

Reading between the lines and the info from @Mistymuzzle , hes through the 10 day, just hasnt signed the contract.

It aligns to penriths statements earlier last week. About wanting to bring him in and chat.

It also aligns with richo's confidence

Hey mate, i’ve been one of the few who has been staunch as hell, never once have turned to water and have tried to hold everyone’s hand throughout this, telling everyone not to worry, he’ll be here. Never wavered once. Total optimist.

Kinda, Moses has a much better kicking game. Both goal and field, Pitty he’s a bigger wanker than Warner! And can only ski down hill..,

Even showed some growth, coming around to giving Sezar a few months to prove his value....

😂

Love your work GNR.

Having read more into the rule it still leaves questions open. It's clear as mud to some degree.

It specifically says...

NRL documentation: Last Right of Negotiation clause

Every player must provide his incumbent Club with a last right of negotiation for a 10-day period from the date of notice that the player has received an offer from a rival Club, and that offer has been submitted to the NRL, that he is prepared to accept. In order to give effect to this clause:

a) the player must provide notice to his incumbent Club that he has an offer that he will accept in 10 days' time (subject to negotiations with his incumbent Club);
b) the Club can then engage in contract negotiations with the player for a period of up to 10 days, or the Club may waive its rights in writing (at which point the player is free to sign with the rival Club);
c) the offer from the rival NRL Club must be an official offer and submitted to the NRL Salary Cap Auditor (the contents of which will remain confidential, but the NRL Salary Cap Auditor can provide verification to the incumbent Club that an official offer has been received). The offer must remain open for acceptance for a minimum of 14 days, and for at least 48 hours beyond the expiry of the 10-day negotiation period with the incumbent Club. There is no requirement for the player to disclose the terms of the offer to his incumbent Club;
d) at the expiry of the 10 days, the player may sign (or reject) the offer from the rival Club.

That part (d) should really to be changed to be at the end of the 10 days the player may sign either the deal with the rival club or an extension with his current club.

I think you may be right. I reckon today was the day he told his teammates he's leaving, the last day of the cooling-off period. I predict his signature to be announced tomorrow or Monday. Or not.
