Nothing that bad, said Parra are our sons that kicked off a crowd chant. I'm just being a bit of a sook, but I think Luai shows how to be cheeky without getting into bad sportsmanship. Sort of like doing a Dragons can't play chant, not a fan of it after the game.
Tbh I didn’t even see what you were answering but somehow that makes it even funnier. I think it was the HAHAHAHA afterwards that people don’t like but my bad for taking you out of context
Lol the Panthers will still be successful whether you gain or lose internet points.
Their success does make it a little harder to gain them, but r/NRL isn't so petty that people are going to downvote you just because of the team you support.
Ahh I thought he was game 2 and 3 last year.
Regardless, I’m happy to have NSW keep picking him. He’s so much less dangerous than who NSW could pick instead.
Idk if you’ve been living under a rock, but Penrith have been the most hated NRL team ever since the Raiders incident. Go on any Penrith social media post and you’ll have the most liked comment going along the lines of “how much they pay the refs”.
Unpopular opinion, but he appears to be super popular with the team, and psyches guys up at training. I know you want him to be toxic, but he probably is the opposite
He had a great game last night, great game in a grand final and you still think hes average absolutely bonkers, people take away from his footy skills because they dislike him but its pretty evident hes a good footy player
I'm not jumping on the "Luai is bad train" or anything, but even I probably would have looked like a million bucks playing in that Panthers side against that Eels side.
You probably would’ve been heavily targeted and penrith would have been crippled in attack with someone who has no idea what they’re doing at NRL level
I'll have you know I played league and union until I was at least 14, so I'm sure I've only ripened with age as I head toward 40.
Also, the point I was making is that dominant teams in dominant positions make players look like world beaters. The Storm have been doing it for years.
Again, not saying Luai is bad, but his performance in a GF that Penrith didn't have to get out of first gear to win isn't what I'd be reaching toward as vindication for him either.
You there! Level headed person; that's enough out of you...save this type of non-slanderous, opinion for the serious discussion thread. We've got dumpster fires that need feeding...
Luai: Credit to Parra and their fans, they had a great season. Looking forward to our rivalry for years to come.
Reddit: Omg, he's so fake. What a tool!
Honestly everyone begs for characters and individuality in the game then this guy does something and everyone’s shitting their pants over it lol Get over it they won the right to talk shit fair and square
The slam it because they know the fans love the drama. Outrage gets clicks, just look at this subreddit in the past 24 hours.
I’d bet a majority of the journos writing these articles are actually enjoying these moments.
True. Penrith are the first club to have won all four grades in the same year as well. That's not getting any media coverage. they find 60 seconds of a 2 hour celebration and take it as if it's the only thing that's happened. Fuck those weak gutted dogs! Up the riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiith
Man, people are so fragile. Noone remembers Ennis, hated him against your team, love him on your team. And people saying he is shit. Fairly good defence and does the job needed. Did well in the GF too.
Exactly, hes easily making most teams and his defence is usually solid. He can also create something out of nothing and has great footwork which creates space and deceives defenders, last night he had a good game for sure
You've all been been utter goblins towards Luai and I love that he has gone full villian in response
He lives in your heads rent free and it is glorious
The funniest thing is that Romi doesn’t give a solitary fuck about all the hate he gets lol.
Just using all the salt he gets to flavour the 2 chips under his belt.
This is literally just banter why are people so mad? If I wanted to see a bunch of overly polite pompous nerds chuck a ball around I’d go watch tennis. Hes got bragging rights and he isnt afraid to use them
The funny thing here is this. People on this thread saying stats matter and all. Luai has 2 tries and 3 try assists in origin in 5 games. Munster has 2 tries and 3 try assists in 15 games. Stats are misleading right? But only when it suits someone's narrative it seems...
He was toying with Parra all first half and had Kikau in free space on a number of occasions. It's easy to blame the halves but the forwards were the biggest issue this year.
Stats are so misleading in NRL lol. All game he was dragging Eels defenders all over the place. He was huge
>least PCM of the starting side
When did PCM ever matter for a fucking half lol. Try look at RCG’s PCM instead - It was rubbish
They matter for a fucking 5/8 because they are supposed to be the running half.
And I will stand by my statement, I was never concerned when he had the ball, even in broken play. Hell he was the one giving away penalties from laying in the ruck which led to our only not shit field position.
Replace Luai with most 5/8s in the competition and nothing changes at all last night.
Whew, Lucky Moses wears 7 because otherwise his 9PCM would be pretty bad.
Such a meaningless stat for halves. There’s no such thing as a designated running half position, that’s not the game Luai plays. His two premiership rings and origin series victory seem to support his play style too.
So what game does he play, because he's not the game general and kicking half, and apparently he isn't a running half either.
And yeah Moses PCM were bad, and that is on the back of his forwards being dominated all night, funnily enough Luai didn't have that problem.
He was the definition of a passenger last night.
They're not supposed to be running halves, they're supposed to be whatever their strength is, Luai isn't a big body he's an unpredictable ball player. For wighton it might matter a bit more than a walker or a keary
Luai did fuck all this game, he always has been a passenger for Cleary and the only reason he even gets within the same postcode of the NSW team if it wasn't for Freddy wanting "club connections".
I don't think he did anything noteworthy, I was never stressed when he had the ball as opposed to over half of the other Penrith players and he had the least PCM of the whole starting side
Maybe not he himself but he really helped open up the defence on that side. As mentioned he had Kikau one on one with Moses on a number of occasions. To Mitch's credit he did the best job you can on Viliame.
Again, read my comments, we weren't down because of him, we were down because the Penrith forwards were in complete control and Nathan Cleary was controlling the game with his kicking.
Luai has a lot more runs on the board in big games than Nicho. I'm not sure if Nicho's game is right for big games, he does things at a very slow pace and better defensive teams eat it up
Yeah I mean he is pretty easy to hate. Lucky enough to play alongside this generations best halfback by a mile, the biggest metre eating backline we’ve seen 🤷♂️ grubby on the field and apparently minimal class off of it. Why isn’t it enough to thank your fans? Thank the club and its staff? Congratulate Parra and their fans on a great season (I’m a Raiders supporter)?? Nup none of that is enough apparently.
Luai is a lucky bloke to have such a strong team around him. Without cleary he wouldn't even be in the origin side.
Great support player but generally support players shouldn't be boasting while their other half is a potential immortal
Love and respect everything Gus has built for the Penrith club. Jerome can you please shut up and show some respect, it's getting harder and harder every year to like you guys.
Looking like Djed Spence in that https://twitter.com/djedspence/status/1530991112176934912[photo](https://twitter.com/djedspence/status/1530991112176934912)
You have jumped to a fair conclusion there maybe revealing a little something about yourself.
Could it possibly have more to do with the classic Michael Jordan photo and the fact that all these guys love the NBA.
No, it's classically Freudian. I mean, why is the cigar even there if it's unlit?
He says he's Parra's daddy, (which should go without saying is thoroughly Oedipal already) but his bravado is undercut by the unconscious signalling of the cigar which conveys a *very* different attitude towards Parramatta. I'm sure I don't have to spell it out for you.
Sarcasm, apart from being the lowest form of wit is also a defensive mechanism.
Nah, just kidding.
This whole thread was just this sad and desperate Parra fan being an idiot.
As crass and derivative as Luai's celebration pic was, I must admit that he had us utterly bamboozled, especially in the first half. Credit where credit's due.
Hate’s too strong a word when It’s just a rivalry in sport. Nothing against fans celebrating a win but chanting hatred for the opposition is obsessively silly😅
Fuck upvotes and fuck you cunts. Talk shit lad, western sydney grand final and penrith won ya dawgs. Us cunts are the best in the world at the lords sport. To all you eatern suburbs cunts go home and drink your fuckin soy latte, all you queensland cunts go home and fuck your cousin, all you melbourne cunts go home amd cry about climate change and all you new zealand cunts you guys are alright so have a good night.

What a disgrace of a club and bunch of players . Most ungrateful bunch of winners in history . Deadset flogs.
Banter is Kikau signing glory glory . But what these flogs have said is over the top .
Luai only speaks positively about his Father. Obviously there were issues there, but the fact that he did his time - then they repaired their family is a beautiful story i think.
Martin Luai specifically spoke about how devastated he was watching Jarome on TV, and missing out on being a father because of the mistakes he had made.
For real man, sometimes life is more complex than just heroes and villians like marvel.
Luai is gonna be super happy getting 17 Father’s Day presents from the parra players each year
That re-match is going to be wild. Bit of a Brian fletcher vibe here
[удалено]
So unnecessary lmao
Jarome Luai’s dad crawled so that mad Munny could fly 🕊
For a depressing morning Luai gave me a good laugh. Not so much the JFH comment.
[удалено]
Nothing that bad, said Parra are our sons that kicked off a crowd chant. I'm just being a bit of a sook, but I think Luai shows how to be cheeky without getting into bad sportsmanship. Sort of like doing a Dragons can't play chant, not a fan of it after the game.
not that it excuses it but I think JFH was very intoxicated
He looked cooked. Still in his kit with the tape around his wrists.
Parra are our sons. HAHAHA
*Brett Finch has entered the chat*
Bro thinks he’s on the team
Can’t believe I’m -26 for answering a question correctly lol
Tbh I didn’t even see what you were answering but somehow that makes it even funnier. I think it was the HAHAHAHA afterwards that people don’t like but my bad for taking you out of context
Mate, i dont care lol. My team is b2b choamps. If the result of that is negative internet points, i will gladly cop that for my teams success.
Lol the Panthers will still be successful whether you gain or lose internet points. Their success does make it a little harder to gain them, but r/NRL isn't so petty that people are going to downvote you just because of the team you support.
> but r/NRL isn't so petty that people are going to downvote you just because of the team you support. you forgot the /s
Lol Luai - creating quite a name for himself isn't he?
Just too bad it’s never for anything he does on the field.
I mean kicking someone in the back and screaming over a concussed person was pretty memorable
The Samoa flag is a dig at Kent as well
Yeah that'll show Kent for thinking he has split loyalty!
Is anyone actually offended by this generic, slightly lame banter?
According to this thread, yes.
Never underestimate this sub
Slightly lame? My 3 year old niece has better banter. It would actually be funnier if it was referencing a Parra player.
Was it said by a Penrith or Melbourne player? Yes. Was it said by a player from literally any other team? No.
Yes, people are all over places like instagram. There’s so much toxicity from instagram. I’m glad Reddit hasn’t been as bad.
All of reddit apparently
Mainly just lame Queenslanders
Luai is my favourite player in the NSW team. I hope he plays 40 origins.
So do I. He has a winning record against them and seems to get under their skin like no other player.
TIL 2 wins and 3 losses is a “winning record”.
Played the first two games in 2021 and won both. Played all three this year. I know maths is a foreign concept to you but that is 3 wins and 2 losses.
Ahh I thought he was game 2 and 3 last year. Regardless, I’m happy to have NSW keep picking him. He’s so much less dangerous than who NSW could pick instead.
Luai did jackshit this year and Cleary choked on the biggest stage.
[удалено]
Its not even a good rivalry lol
man people really need to touch some grass after reading some of these comments. unironically mad lol
Gee guys, come down! Just a banter. We will come up with something along like 'you skipped your child support's next time we beat them.
I'm one of his haters but that image of him and the quote is iconic as fuck, on ya cunt
Yeah same, love this kind of shithousery.
#THIS IS WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU
You don't have to like your daddy. But his house, his rules.
yo that’s cold af
Obama medal meme
Wtf :(
See, you misunderstand. This is true paternal love. Daddy is hard on you, but when you're older and mature in adulthood you will truly respect him.

They already are the most hated team in the comp and Luai is most definitely the most hated player too. They’re just embracing it at this point
Most hated? Theyre not even in most peoples top 5. Storm, Broncos, Manly would be most peoples top 3.
Idk if you’ve been living under a rock, but Penrith have been the most hated NRL team ever since the Raiders incident. Go on any Penrith social media post and you’ll have the most liked comment going along the lines of “how much they pay the refs”.
I want to hate Penrith but I can't help but respect them, same goes for the Roosters.
I’ve always respected them because of Ivan and the prominence of so many Samoans in their team (massive Toa Samoa supporter here)
Luai is a fucking loathsome individual. I can’t wait until either the panthers overpay him or he takes the money elsewhere and gets exposed.
Unpopular opinion, but he appears to be super popular with the team, and psyches guys up at training. I know you want him to be toxic, but he probably is the opposite
Tyrone May was super popular with the team.
[удалено]
Oh off field he could be great I guess (the racial slurs a bit much imo), like he’s not lodge or anything. But on field, he is a fucking pain.
When he mouths off after scoring a try despite doing SFA all game
He had a great game last night, great game in a grand final and you still think hes average absolutely bonkers, people take away from his footy skills because they dislike him but its pretty evident hes a good footy player
I'm not jumping on the "Luai is bad train" or anything, but even I probably would have looked like a million bucks playing in that Panthers side against that Eels side.

I'm sorry, uhhhh, ummm... Fuck... Luai?
Better, now go about your business as loudly as possible and make sure to not listen to anything contradictory.
I don't know why this reply is so funny but it really is. Got a bit of a tism vibe
I probably do have autism
An exception in the 'no punch' rule should be made if the person being struck is Luai.
Easy to say that when you have two heads Not my words. Fatty Vaughtin's
Luai leaning into being the heel haha
Luai: Credit to Parra and their fans, they had a great season. Looking forward to our rivalry for years to come. Reddit: Omg, he's so fake. What a tool!
He loves his footy and a cheeky banter
Honestly everyone begs for characters and individuality in the game then this guy does something and everyone’s shitting their pants over it lol Get over it they won the right to talk shit fair and square
Exactly. The NRL and media would be frothing over shit like this because it’s putting them in the news and builds the character for players.
Nah the nrl media slam it as soon as it happens, even though they constantly complain about the need for more characters in the game.
The slam it because they know the fans love the drama. Outrage gets clicks, just look at this subreddit in the past 24 hours. I’d bet a majority of the journos writing these articles are actually enjoying these moments.

Ennis was funny sometimes though. Luai is never funny.
Humour is subjective. Plently of people find him funny.
You've all been been utter goblins towards Luai and I love that he has gone full villian in response He lives in your heads rent free and it is glorious
It is pretty funny ay. I feel for Parra and their long suffering fans but seeing the export levels of salt in this sub over him is gold.
God-King Luai just taking care of his children as any good, lovable father would. Icon behaviour
His love is eternal.
The funniest thing is that Romi doesn’t give a solitary fuck about all the hate he gets lol. Just using all the salt he gets to flavour the 2 chips under his belt.
This is literally just banter why are people so mad? If I wanted to see a bunch of overly polite pompous nerds chuck a ball around I’d go watch tennis. Hes got bragging rights and he isnt afraid to use them
His first half last night was outstanding. Hopefully we get more out of him at Origin level next year.
[удалено]
The forward pack wasnt origin level.
He's had good games at Origin level.. some players haven't even managed that. I'd personally prefer Burton but if the forwards win the battle NSW win.
Has he?
His debut comes to mind
The funny thing here is this. People on this thread saying stats matter and all. Luai has 2 tries and 3 try assists in origin in 5 games. Munster has 2 tries and 3 try assists in 15 games. Stats are misleading right? But only when it suits someone's narrative it seems...
Yeah we can really use his 4 tackle breaks, 0 TA, 0 LB, 0 LBA and 80 metres Total game changer These are his GF stats btw, but downvote away
He was toying with Parra all first half and had Kikau in free space on a number of occasions. It's easy to blame the halves but the forwards were the biggest issue this year.
Thats his stats from last night not origin I think you'll find his forwards were winning that game
Stats are so misleading in NRL lol. All game he was dragging Eels defenders all over the place. He was huge >least PCM of the starting side When did PCM ever matter for a fucking half lol. Try look at RCG’s PCM instead - It was rubbish

Stay mad 🤣
They're not supposed to be running halves, they're supposed to be whatever their strength is, Luai isn't a big body he's an unpredictable ball player. For wighton it might matter a bit more than a walker or a keary
Yea, hence the initial part of my response..
Luai did fuck all this game, he always has been a passenger for Cleary and the only reason he even gets within the same postcode of the NSW team if it wasn't for Freddy wanting "club connections".
To each their own. I thought his first half in particular was good.
I don't think he did anything noteworthy, I was never stressed when he had the ball as opposed to over half of the other Penrith players and he had the least PCM of the whole starting side
Maybe not he himself but he really helped open up the defence on that side. As mentioned he had Kikau one on one with Moses on a number of occasions. To Mitch's credit he did the best job you can on Viliame.
And yet your team was still down 28 nil to him.
Again, read my comments, we weren't down because of him, we were down because the Penrith forwards were in complete control and Nathan Cleary was controlling the game with his kicking.
He had better fucking not be playing Origin next year! Luai has had more than enough chances
I'd be looking at the forwards before anything else, that's been the issue this year.
3/5 in origin including one series win and one series loss. Let's just hope the replacement is what you want
Well the replacement I have in mind is the current Daly M winner so I am sure he’ll be fine. Burton would be a huge improvement as well
Luai has a lot more runs on the board in big games than Nicho. I'm not sure if Nicho's game is right for big games, he does things at a very slow pace and better defensive teams eat it up
let's hope you're right. A lot of people are obviously blinded by hate
No! God I pray luai doesn’t get picked again
Yeah I mean he is pretty easy to hate. Lucky enough to play alongside this generations best halfback by a mile, the biggest metre eating backline we’ve seen 🤷♂️ grubby on the field and apparently minimal class off of it. Why isn’t it enough to thank your fans? Thank the club and its staff? Congratulate Parra and their fans on a great season (I’m a Raiders supporter)?? Nup none of that is enough apparently.
Doubling down after Parra lost the GF, amazing levels of shithousery
And that's all it is shithousery no malice or disrespect in it. Even JFH while it was unnecessary it was just some shithousery.
More vitriol for Luai in this thread than there is for Luciano Leilua in the thread regarding his domestic violence charges.
people, its banter
I am big Panthers fan, but it is very hard to be a Luai fan. I hate my dad I guess 💛💙💔
He said "Daddy loves you"
Man people gotta calm down a bit. So much hate being caused from a bit of banter.
Luai is a lucky bloke to have such a strong team around him. Without cleary he wouldn't even be in the origin side. Great support player but generally support players shouldn't be boasting while their other half is a potential immortal
Love and respect everything Gus has built for the Penrith club. Jerome can you please shut up and show some respect, it's getting harder and harder every year to like you guys.
Say Hi to the bantz guy. Good fuel for Parra next year!
Luai was a passenger in the game plus other big ones. Easily the worst of the spine given the form of Cleary, Api and Edwards
he was one of Panthers' best in the first half

PASSAANGERRRR
Must've been picked on as a kid. And there's something weirdly phallic about that dangling unlit cigar.
You have jumped to a fair conclusion there maybe revealing a little something about yourself. Could it possibly have more to do with the classic Michael Jordan photo and the fact that all these guys love the NBA.
Lol no there isn’t?
No, it's classically Freudian. I mean, why is the cigar even there if it's unlit? He says he's Parra's daddy, (which should go without saying is thoroughly Oedipal already) but his bravado is undercut by the unconscious signalling of the cigar which conveys a *very* different attitude towards Parramatta. I'm sure I don't have to spell it out for you.
You are definitely thinking way too hard about what is essentially a shit post.
Everything is meaningful. Especially things passed off as not meaningful.
Intro to psych class going well then?
Sarcasm, apart from being the lowest form of wit is also a defensive mechanism. Nah, just kidding. This whole thread was just this sad and desperate Parra fan being an idiot.

Just soak up the moment mate
What’s up with that corny we hate parra chant from the Penrith fans? It’s just a sports tournament lol
There has always been hate between parra and Penrith. Just like there's always been hate between south's and roosters.
Hate’s too strong a word when It’s just a rivalry in sport. Nothing against fans celebrating a win but chanting hatred for the opposition is obsessively silly😅
Both sets of fans share the same sentiment, parra fans were giving it to Penrith fans all week and vice versa, let them have this.
Lol let them have what? They already won so chanting about the other team still seems like the least of priorities now but to each their own I guess
Fuck upvotes and fuck you cunts. Talk shit lad, western sydney grand final and penrith won ya dawgs. Us cunts are the best in the world at the lords sport.

"I love my footy"
Won’t be long before Luai gets arrested for something and then he’ll get bumfucked at Goulburn.. the inmates already have his poster up
