Darren Lockyer was roughly 10 times the player pig nose Luai is and as an opposing fan I never hated him.

I guess he wasn’t doing it right.

What is the alternative... players are robots and don't be themselves?

I am all for that especially fighting back against the media
Im all for players being themselves.
There are plenty of players who can be themselves and don't require the hate.

Seems more that he just loves attention, and its so much easier to attract negative attention, like some form of robotic troll.

There isn't a player that wouldn't cop shit after a game. Latrell, Luai and a few play off it.

Others either report and block or don't post at all. Guys like Jake Turbo etc you don't see the real them due to the haters,

I dont like Luais persona at all. However what people think of him as a person have drastically effected what they think of him as a player. He has become the most under rated player in the game. Make no mistake Rome is one of the absolute elite players in the game. If he doesnt make it back for the GF Penriths chances are greatly reduced. Im not saying he is a better player then Clearly, however I do believe Nathan is more easily replaced then Luai in the Panthers structure.

I would have literally zero issues with Luai if he just owned his merkinry and didn't try pull off the alter boy persona. Just own it son!

100% and really this is the whole Panthers club. They're the most arrogant, smug team Ive ever seen in 40 years of watching footy. BTW This is fine, youve earnt the right to act that way if this is how you want your legacy to be remembered. It would be boring if every team was vanilla. However the second they get called up on it they scream victim. Pick one. Rugby league is a soap opera, you have selected villian, run with it

One of the issues the media has is about our uppity blacks talking shit.
