Oh please...
Jerome came because of Benji Marshall, Api Koroisau, Staines and Naden.
Jerome could have easily been lured to the dogs, but I suspect the dogs were not keen on him and had Burton locked in at NR7.
The club Manager, the board and all that stuff just isn't relevant to him. Players pass balls, train at gym, tackle and that's that. They don't care about the board level and maybe wave at the club chairman occasionally. Luai knew Pascoe, maybe liked him a little, doubt he mattered anywhere near as much as Koroisau.
What I think swung him was Luai actually lined up in a grand final against Marshall. The more I think about it, the more I go "wow, that is some weird history"... Even though I don't believe Marshall played that round.
