He is one of the nicest people in real life. Which shows again, opinions are construed by media and aren’t based on a legitimate understanding of a particular human - nor it seems can people differentiate a competitor on field from the person they are off the field.
Which honestly tells me more about your viewing of the game than anything else. All things you have mentioned which apparently vilify Luai - Wally did, Slater did, Munster did and in no other terms could those 4 be considered anything but greats. Thats their legacy and standings. This is due to the high bar set and maintained during their careers. I’d argue with the fact that Munster’s standards are lower and there was no push back when the club chose to chase him.
Ultimately, your view of the personality of a man which you do not know does not change the fact that person/player can be uber competitive and that competitiveness pushes them and his team mates to try be the best version of themselves through high standards being met during the week at training and during the moment of games.
The Galvin situation has no bearing on Luai’s ability and consistency in always chasing those standards.
End of the day - this is all hypothetical. I stand by my statement that I cannot see Luai moving away from what is important to him and therefore moving away from Sydney. I have no inside knowledge of if the Bears are or aren’t interested in Jerome.
I want to conclude that you’re free to dislike whoever you want. I just think it would be wiser to be able to differentiate perceived personality from work ethic & commitment.
