Jerome Luai Has More Get Out Clauses!

If you've kept up to date recently with the drama at the Wests Tigers, you'd know that the club is in complete turmoil, tearing itself apart from within. Board members being sacked , the CEO being investigated for family contracts, possibly gone by weekends end. Good Players have been leaving, think Galvin, Papalii, Da Silva, which brings me to Luai.

The NSW rep has more get out clauses from his 5 year, 6million dollar contract. Its being reported by Fox, Code sports and Luai himself that he has get out clauses throughout his 5 year Tigers deal. Luai is being quoted by Fox as saying "that's why I have get out clauses" The obvious question raises itself is Luai someone that the Eels could target for 2027, when Pezet leaves for the Broncos.

The pairing of Luai and Moses at state level worked a treat, imagine that partnership at club level. Not sure we have that type of coin, but then again maybe we do have close to it.

What are peoples thoughts, is this something powerbrokers may look at or will Joash or another junior be the clubs answer.

"'This place' matters far less than what happens on the field. I suspect it wouldn't have been good for us if Lomax had stayed and kicked stones while chewing up ~8% of our cap. We are far better off with good culture than more talent, if it meant…"

"Lomax was replaced by Simonsson, who would probably have left otherwise. We use Lomax's money to sign a replacement for Simonsson and spend the difference elsewhere in the roster."

"It's good therapy, Clayton. A community service, so to speak. Better here than at home. No sane wife would put up with too much Poo Bombing (or maybe too much Unicorn lol). And they'd lock all the doghouses too not just the doors and windows. LOL. "

I hope you're not going to be devastated when we don't sign (or even approach) him.

He will either go back to riff or Perth .. would love for him to go to dogs to reunite with Galvin

Margo Kneel has him locked in for a BBQ and Gus has never met him

He would unlock Russel and Fox on that left side, yes for me.

if you don't even try to get him I'll be done with this ass club and the people that run the club.

If there open about talking to Luai then I'd say your pretty much putting the line through our junior development around our halves that's what a move like this tells me.All the Renzo Fletcher noise is just exactly that front office speak around pathway development.

If we did do it,it's a push all the cards in the middle hoping lightning strikes and Custers last stand around Moses's prime.as that's not lasting forever.

If we are interested and somehow get him, by all means would welcome him. Though i think he would want to be top dog at a club, not behind Moses in terms of commanding a team.

Perth could be very likely.
