Greetings all! I'm new to this site and this is my 1st post. Love him or hate him, Jarome Luai's combination with Mitch Moses for NSW was electric. Imagine those two being our halves combination.

"If that's the case based on what we've seen he's not the answer. Unless he starts to brain it, I just can't see him making that jersey his."
"Being the main man and being paid as the main man are two different things. Do you think that Laui has achieved that status? His body language and performances would indicate that he is "really not that interested in being the main man". Now that is…"
"Yep - do not pass Go, do not collect $200"
"He's a total Grub. His history in the game is chequered , from betting and fixing allegations , to white anting coaches who gave him a crack when nobody else would give him the time of day . Bloke sat out and took millions off us whilst shacked…"

When you look at it that way, 1.2 is a lot. I reckon he has more in him than what he's showing at the tigers. Under Ryles he'd be a different/better player in my opinion.
no, just no
Awful idea
Luai or Katoa at the EELS is what we need as a 5/8 replacement of Dylan Brown.
JR needs to get either one over ASAP as we do know these days contracts mean nothing.
Laui for me would be better as he & moses geled well in origin last year.
Moses is a different player to clearly so luai would be able to run his own show when needed.
oh the west tigers need to fold have half there territoy be taken by the eels & the other half by the dogs
No I personally can't stand the guy. Overrated as hell and just his overall personality and demeanor is off.
There are a couple things to consider.
First, his asking price. Could we get him for a price we'd be happy with and allow us to build a squad and retain players we need to.
Second is whether he fits the culture Ryles is trying to build. Ryles is setting the expectation you play for the badge. If you don't, you're out the door.
Third is how he would work with Moses. We saw the pair perform well in Origin last year. But 2 games is a lot different to the week-to-week grind of NRL. Luai has previously stated he wants to be the man and that's why he left Penrith. I don't think he'd want to be second fiddle to Moses until Mitch retires.
I just don't think Luai is the type of player we'd be going after. I'd be hesitant to go after a guy who ditches a club barely a year after signing with them.
Yes for the right sum
I'd take him for sure and Parra would have a very good shot at getting him too , no chance in hell Jarome would be happy at the tigers so I'd have no doubt that if the right club came along he would take up his get out clause.
Money wise I think Jerome would accept a bit less to go to better club with better prospects and Parramatta would be a perfect fit for him in every way .
Cmon Frankie Luai's agent pulls MoNs pants down everyday of the week.He's not taking less to come here.
No doubt having proven dopes like Mark O'Neill and Jim Sarantonis puts Parramatta at a huge disadvantage as has been proven , but if Jerome is unhappy at the tigers and wants to join a club with better prospects then he knows he will have to take a bit of a pay cut .
He either stays at s shithole with zero prospects for the future purely for money or he goes to a club with some prospects for success and takes a couple of hundred less , he will also have more opportunities for private sponsorship playing for a big club like Parramatta than at the tigers .
