Jarome Luai Belmore bound

In what could be seen as a lump of coal for Wests Tigers fans, the Bulldogs could be receiving an early Christmas present of Jarome Luai, who have formally lodged a $7.5 million deal over 5 years for the off contract half, making him the highest paid player in the NRLIt was believed that Luai had agreed to join the Tigers on a $6 million deal earlier this week, but it is now understood that Luai and his management will pull out of their deal with the Tigers, and agree to join the Bulldogs from 2025.

Under the new NRL rules, a player must tell their current club that they have received an offer from a rival club and that if that player chooses to take their offer, their current club will have a 10 day period to convince that player to stay with them instead of losing them to a rival. However, that player can pull out at anytime if they so choose and don’t even have to accept the offer after the 10 days has passed.

Penrith have already conceded that they will lose Luai after next season and will not release him early under any circumstances, but it seems likely that the Dogs and Gould have landed their man once again. It seems as well the Panthers connection of Kikau, Burton and Crichton may also be another factor in Luai’s defection from his deal with the Tigers.Luai may yet still decide to honour his deal with the Tigers, but if his decision is based on money, I hate to say it Tigers fans but I think unfortunately, you’ve missed your man again.

Been down this road before.

It's not on it anywhere and I have a subscription. Perhaps it hasn't been released yet but your friend somehow got a leaked version?

It's possible, I think he has a journalist contact there. @TillLindemann saw the headline though I think?

 

[rugbygoated]

I saw the headline but it's behind a paywall unfortunately

Maybe they've deleted it?

 

[TillLindemann]

Maybe they've deleted it?

Possibly got pulled, maybe they're on the christmas drinks already over at the SMH

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Surely a g-up but if people think a million is overs for a half…bad luck boys and girls lol

 

[PrattenParkMagpie]

If any truth to it at $1.5m a year they can have him.

 

[Telltails]

Let's see if Jarome responds to this story. Best it gets out there.

SMH has a far better track record than DT but it would not surprise me. They all fawn over the smallest rumour and proclaim it as gospel

Maybe they've deleted it?

Apparently a deepfake website… not having the authority to comment myself but Benji called this arvo, Luai registered with Wests Tigers. Phillip Elmo Gould is not happy with being old and senile.

So Blocker has treated me in a unfair and unjust way? Do you even know what the word means? I understand you think you do, but i don’t think you do.

Is it fair to say you are bitter towards Luke Brooks? It’s the same thing right? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seems he has... in your mind.
You, and some others, can never find anything good to say about him no matter what he says.
I have met Roach on many occasions in the past and can't say I thought much of as a person... although it was a while ago and he may have changed.
He is , however, a media commentator (his job) which is why his thoughts are reported on.
Whether you agree or disagree, or can read his mind and tell us what he's really thinking is anyone's guess.
Why don't you tell us why you REALLY dislike him?
Balmain thing?

Yeah it's way overs. I think 1.2 is about 1-200k over for Luai but 1.5 is too much. It's crazy money for a team like Dogs which have 2 centres on 800K already

I just picture Jabba the Hut sitting in his Chinese restaurant in Belmore with a secret camera man there for the drama

 

[Pascoes_barber]

At least the pathways players aren't blocked

We have enough halves if he doesn't come. Would love him to come, but not for that much especially with the shoulder injury

Why do you assume it has anything to do with Balmain?

Now when I do the same search I did before, it looks like I may have been turning up an old headline about Pangai Jr being Belmore bound, might have misread and jumped the gun again, apologies if any confusion. I'll reserve judgement til later.

 

[Pascoes_barber]

Situation normal at Tigers HQ

TBH I needed that preparation in case this typical Tigers stuff up occurs again so thanks

Lol they are dumb for that much money.

Amazing how this 10 day cooling period is already rorting teams. Dont think the NRL realised what a can of worms it is.

RLPA you are a joke.
