It's clear that you do that's why I never pick arguments with you.

I hope that's not a dig?

@jane the pain,

I'm sorry to hear that you suffer from mental health issues.

I'm regretful for the word I used in a previous post,,,,(since deleted) . I didn't intend to offend, but obviously I did.


and for that I am sorry.

If people learnt to respect other people's opinion, then this will stop. @Aliceinwonderland overstepped the line. Others are continuing on. People need to let sleeping dogs lie.

There is very few clubs who have the cash or are at a stage to have Luai as a plan B from their existing halves

Can’t be much going on when the media are reporting on home visits that occurred ages ago.

The media at this stage (I'm sure) are almost camped outside Luai's watching and waiting.

They appear almost 'desperate' that Luai leaves and joins the W/T's.

Below is Hooper and Buzz. Doing what they do.
Not unlike this.

For those who don't stalk social media Luai and his family (Luai, along with Critta are 2 of Atreus's god parents (Bizza's son), all went to church today for his blessing.....(Not unlike a baptism)

Bizza's church I believe does such a thing as a 'believers baptism' (full immerson in water) when the child makes a personal confession of faith).

The media were camped in MT DRUITT. And as a proud MT DRUITT resident I can now report that that is not the case anymore they got tired of walking back to there cars with cameras and microphones to find the cars on bricks with tyres missing

Seems to appear that clubs have gone cold on Romey (only seems to be the WT stuff recycled weekly).

club is in a great position - we love Romey - we'll offer him a good fair offer and we'll look after him.

i think if another club hasnt signed him by Xmas - he's extending with us

 

[Munky]

If Jarome signs with us I hope he had a clause in his agent contract that they only get commission on any wage above the original Penrith offer.

Otherwise he's played himself.

 

[Westernised Panther]

The issues are we could lose players. This could create unrest among players. Our team can do without Luai.

@Blade23 ’s reaction to the above post assures me that this suggestion is erroneous.

Were clubs ever interested?

I think he just listened incorrectly that any half will get huge offers

If Deardon gets taken off the market that could change interest.

Right now as an observer. I get the feeling this is like Crichton coming off contract back in 2020.
Informal interest pre-Nov 1. Is talked up by the media. Linked to a few clubs. When push comes to shove no rival submits an offer. Player re-signs months later.

The secret house visit which could land the Tigers the NRL’s No.1 free agent​

Adam Pengilly

Benji Marshall has upped the ante in pursuit of the NRL’s No.1 free agent, making a secret visit to Jarome Luai’s house as he tries to land the huge signing to kickstart his head coaching career.

A fortnight after Luai officially hit the market, sources familiar with the situation not authorised to speak publicly said Marshall met the three-time premiership winner at his western Sydney home to discuss the merits of a move to the Wests Tigers.

Despite being yet to coach his first game since taking over from Tim Sheens, Marshall has taken a hands-on role in trying to attract some of the NRL’s best available talent to the wooden spooners of the last two seasons.

And he’s set his sights on the market’s biggest name, one who has admitted Marshall was his idol growing up, and has so far resisted signing a $1.7 million, two-year extension from the Panthers.
The Tigers are yet to table a formal offer to Luai, but Marshall’s decision to meet the 26-year-old is an indication the club is ready to make a statement signing.

Marshall did his best to distance himself from any Luai speculation just over a week ago when he fronted reporters in Sydney, preferring to focus on the players he will have at his disposal for 2024.

Veteran half Aidan Sezer, Jayden Sullivan and Latu Fainu will all join the Tigers next season, while Adam Doueihi is on the comeback trail from an ACL tear and could be available later in the season. The club also has highly rated teenager Lachlan Galvin on their books.

“All players that come onto the market, you’ve got to have a look at, especially if they’re marquee players,” Marshall said. “But we’ve signed halves. We’ve got four halves for the season going into it. We’ll prioritise that at the moment.”
The Marshall interest only adds to the intrigue in the Luai stakes, which could have a domino effect on the sluggish player market for the likes of North Queensland’s Tom Dearden and the Roosters’ Joseph Manu.
Marshall wanted an experienced half in Sezer at the club to provide direction after Luke Brooks’ switch to Manly, but Luai could easily assume the halfback role at the Tigers and run a team away from the shadow of Nathan Cleary.

The Panthers are hopeful of an answer from Luai before Christmas given they’ve set aside significant money for him, but it could be dwarfed by a multi-million dollar offer from a rival club such as the Tigers.
The Panthers have refrained from escalating talks with Luai recently as he recovers from shoulder surgery, but his future will be a priority over the coming month as title-winning stars slowly return to training.

Ivan Cleary’s record breakers have shown no appetite to release players early who sign elsewhere, keeping Matt Burton, Viliame Kikau, Api Koroisau, Stephen Crichton and Spencer Leniu during premiership-winning seasons.

Jarome Luai is yet to sign an extension with the Panthers - and a rival coach has shown he’s serious about landing a statement signing.
