Luai the tigepie.

[Nealo 12]

Today I learned Pip doggs is a Panther supporter , lols

 

[Black Panther]

Really? Wow!
How does he get his skirt down over his chin. He'd look like a lampshade if it got stuck

I think he uses one of his many trophies to assist…

 

[Tigerm]

No idea who this poster is, but gives a bit of insight to the kind of bloke who signed a contract with us.

[Tigerm]

They’ll have to convert then.

 

[Tigerm]

A pretty impressive bloke.
“I’m locked into the club and bringing success to this team. If you’re a Tigers fan be excited for years to come. I’m all in. That’s the kind of man I’ve been.”
Luai on the WT squad: “They are young, full of energy and keen to learn. It takes me back to when I was first coming into grade. Hopefully I can instil in them some good habits”

[Das Hassler]

Even @ 1.2 m I think we got the bargain of the year.
He definitely sounds like he left the Panthers with a point that he intends to prove. "When someone tells me I can't do something......" sounded pretty laser direct

 

[Clarkent]

He's definitely not lacking any confidence at all. It's what the tigers needs the most! Because a few of those current players in the team aren't used to this type of player next to them. Luai's confidence will bring alot of energy and team chemistry together.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I’ve never met a player like him, so driven to deliver.

It’s not like he’s massive unit or anything close.

And so far as I could tell, he was understanding and enjoying the kindness and thanks shown and he understood our desperation.

He was popular at the Panthers, but the support for him here was next level.

We’ve got a number of ex panthera now and they know each other games very well.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I’ve always thought his running game and defence was better than Nate’s, but he doesn’t have that kicking game or finesse.

He throws this massive dummy here, then he wastes their fullback, running an angle at speed.

They only offered him 800.

 

[Tigerm]

He's certainly not talking about 2 years with an option?

 

[Tiger Ted]

He oozes leadership qualities & he will have a gargantuan influence on the development of our talented youth especially the Polynesians.He is the personification of the do as I do attitude & will be a godsend for our greenhorn coach.I expect we will look back in the future $ realise the $1.2m/yr was big unders.

Might be just in the moment talk, but could Jarome Luai be the biggest signing of the NRL era?

Just look at it purely on terms of face value:

* Four time Premiership winning half
* Current Origin half who came up with the series winning play
* Captains his country
* Genuine Superstar and huge media/corporate profile
* 27 years old in the prime of his career

Coming to the team who has won the wooden spoon 3 times in a row and hasnt made the finals for 14 years. The only one I can remotely think of is Greg Inglis to Souths, however he wasnt a spine player and was forced from the Storm due to the Salary Cap Breaches.

I get that he hasnt set foot on the field for us and could still be a slop, but I'm talking purely about the signing, not the on field impact which is TBD.

 

[Perth Tiger]

He sure knows what to say and how to act. It seems he is in some peoples all time favourites before even playing a game. And that type of behaviour makes a huge difference.

Compare Luai's behaviour to Papalili and the garbage he came up with when he arrived.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Some articles in mainstream today talking about his decision and desire to be puckered off the cud of clearyism.

I have detected some resentment on the panther forum about him leaving.

I don’t want to be mean but on what planet does the panther retention commission choose Dylan or Brian over Jerome? Short term thinking.

Jerome can occasionally let his on field ambition overcome ball security but that’s the price of a spirited play maker.

If you hardly touch the ball, you don’t make many mistakes, except our ugly lot of course.

I criticise him, but Benji did a great job helping to secure him. Unbelievable!

I’m looking forward to belting the panthers again.

I’ve said it earlier, I believe he needs to be the team captain.
Api can be club captain.

Api was our captain last weekend. He’s still the man.

Api love ratio: 10/10
Jerome love ratio 9.9/10

I don’t not like the guy, he’s a gem.
But he leads by example, and doesn’t seem to get others to follow him.
I think Luai, will lead by example and demand they follow him.
I hate the idea of co-captains.
