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.

Yes, we went hard for Galvin. Yes, if Ryles sees someone as the answer, he might go for it. Yes, Wiz's "bench fantasy" is a scene out of a LaLaLand movie.

But again, Luai & Galvin aren't the same, right? A $1.1-1.5m six with POs? Mmm. Would you? If we could rort the cap, the easy way out, like some with sugar daddies and no POs, maybe. The ultimate fan aphrodisiac lol.

But even the Panthers, with four-peat titles, Matt Cameron, Ivan Cleary, couldn't afford to keep Luai or woo him to stay. Hello. Hypnotism, perhaps? But I could be wrong. People change. Luai might. Dunno. Also, has Luai activated any POs or asked for a release?

It's a bit naive to assume that if he went hard over Galvin, he's going to chase every bird on the market. If he thinks one of our juniors could be the answer, he's going to go for it, too. Why wouldn't he?

"Well think about it Coryn, we went hard for Galvin. Offering him a 4-5 year deal on good money. We had Fletcher signed by then and Talataina was at the club too. So yeah invest in pathways.......unless someone comes up."

"Yes, we went hard for Galvin. Yes, if Ryles sees someone as the answer, he might go for it. Yes, Wiz's "bench fantasy" is a scene out of a LaLaLand movie.

"Arguably the best winger in the comp when he's in his happy place , on what 600 or 650k? Ryles needs his head examined if he thinks that's overs.
Unfortunately me thinks Ryles coaching inexperience was what drove Lomax's decision. He went…"

      Though still we went hard for Galvin despite having Fletcher and Lorenzo.

        Exactly , LB. But don't ruin their fantasy mate, we were going to bench Galvin next year when these future immortals were ready.
