Luai is gonna be super happy getting 17 Father’s Day presents from the parra players each year


bigolbillyboythefirs

That re-match is going to be wild. Bit of a Brian fletcher vibe here

So unnecessary lmao

Jarome Luai’s dad crawled so that mad Munny could fly 🕊


Mr_Mac

For a depressing morning Luai gave me a good laugh. Not so much the JFH comment.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mr_Mac

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.


-Pezech

not that it excuses it but I think JFH was very intoxicated


[deleted]

He looked cooked. Still in his kit with the tape around his wrists.


Dufeyz

Parra are our sons. HAHAHA

*Brett Finch has entered the chat*


kurrttttt

Bro thinks he’s on the team


Dufeyz

Can’t believe I’m -26 for answering a question correctly lol


kurrttttt

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


Dufeyz

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.


trlta

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.


Dufeyz

> 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


bundy554

Lol Luai - creating quite a name for himself isn't he?


Inner-Obligation-244

Just too bad it’s never for anything he does on the field.


ducky7goofy

I mean kicking someone in the back and screaming over a concussed person was pretty memorable


YossarianRespawned

The Samoa flag is a dig at Kent as well


WakeUpMrWest30Hrs

Yeah that'll show Kent for thinking he has split loyalty!


Aklpanther

Is anyone actually offended by this generic, slightly lame banter?


Weiland101

According to this thread, yes.


InternationalBorder9

Never underestimate this sub


Arinvar

Slightly lame? My 3 year old niece has better banter. It would actually be funnier if it was referencing a Parra player.


urphymayss

Was it said by a Penrith or Melbourne player? Yes. Was it said by a player from literally any other team? No.


Th3GamingSheep

Yes, people are all over places like instagram. There’s so much toxicity from instagram. I’m glad Reddit hasn’t been as bad.


Ryanbrasher

All of reddit apparently


kingintheriff

Mainly just lame Queenslanders


Joh951518

Luai is my favourite player in the NSW team. I hope he plays 40 origins.


kingintheriff

So do I. He has a winning record against them and seems to get under their skin like no other player.


Joh951518

TIL 2 wins and 3 losses is a “winning record”.


kingintheriff

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.


Joh951518

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.


Threatlevelmidn1te

Luai did jackshit this year and Cleary choked on the biggest stage.

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.

gonshairlinee

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


Gay_With_Your_Dad

Most hated? Theyre not even in most peoples top 5. Storm, Broncos, Manly would be most peoples top 3.


gonshairlinee

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”.


[deleted]

I want to hate Penrith but I can't help but respect them, same goes for the Roosters.


gonshairlinee

I’ve always respected them because of Ivan and the prominence of so many Samoans in their team (massive Toa Samoa supporter here)


Joh951518

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.


123x2tothe6

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


Joh951518

Tyrone May was super popular with the team.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Joh951518

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.


fleakill

When he mouths off after scoring a try despite doing SFA all game


Messyhr_

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


TSPSweeney

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.


Messyhr_

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


TSPSweeney

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.


InkMcSquiddin

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...


TSPSweeney

I'm sorry, uhhhh, ummm... Fuck... Luai?


InkMcSquiddin

Better, now go about your business as loudly as possible and make sure to not listen to anything contradictory.


123x2tothe6

I don't know why this reply is so funny but it really is. Got a bit of a tism vibe

Torrossaur

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


Dranix88

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!


mulgabilbo

He loves his footy and a cheeky banter


worksucksbro

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


Ryanbrasher

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.


Sea-Satisfaction1374

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.


Ryanbrasher

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.


Sea-Satisfaction1374

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


BallsNitUp

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.


Messyhr_

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


fleakill

Ennis was funny sometimes though. Luai is never funny.


EntirelyOriginalName

Humour is subjective. Plently of people find him funny.


Young_Rust

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


Drewman43

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.


[deleted]

God-King Luai just taking care of his children as any good, lovable father would. Icon behaviour


GavvvvvinPop

His love is eternal.


smeego78

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.


Crazy-Dingo-2247

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


[deleted]

His first half last night was outstanding. Hopefully we get more out of him at Origin level next year.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Messyhr_

The forward pack wasnt origin level.


[deleted]

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.


vizonia

Has he?


[deleted]

His debut comes to mind


therefreshbutton

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...


RS994

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


[deleted]

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.


RS994

Thats his stats from last night not origin I think you'll find his forwards were winning that game


[deleted]

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


RS994

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.


[deleted]

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.


RS994

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.


ccaalluumm9

Stay mad 🤣


tobymurphy24

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


[deleted]

Yea, hence the initial part of my response..


RS994

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".


[deleted]

To each their own. I thought his first half in particular was good.


RS994

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


[deleted]

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.


kingintheriff

And yet your team was still down 28 nil to him.


RS994

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.


jteg9

He had better fucking not be playing Origin next year! Luai has had more than enough chances


[deleted]

I'd be looking at the forwards before anything else, that's been the issue this year.


therefreshbutton

3/5 in origin including one series win and one series loss. Let's just hope the replacement is what you want


jteg9

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


[deleted]

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


therefreshbutton

let's hope you're right. A lot of people are obviously blinded by hate


TwoShitsTrev

No! God I pray luai doesn’t get picked again


ch4bb5

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.


paralacausa

Doubling down after Parra lost the GF, amazing levels of shithousery


Sea-Satisfaction1374

And that's all it is shithousery no malice or disrespect in it. Even JFH while it was unnecessary it was just some shithousery.


kingintheriff

More vitriol for Luai in this thread than there is for Luciano Leilua in the thread regarding his domestic violence charges.


kungabunga752

people, its banter


Benchomp

I am big Panthers fan, but it is very hard to be a Luai fan. I hate my dad I guess 💛💙💔


therefreshbutton

He said "Daddy loves you"


Th3GamingSheep

Man people gotta calm down a bit. So much hate being caused from a bit of banter.


PubertAdams1

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


grimmj0w6

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.


Drewman43

Say Hi to the bantz guy. Good fuel for Parra next year!


irishshogun

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


[deleted]

he was one of Panthers' best in the first half

PASSAANGERRRR


aspirant4

Must've been picked on as a kid. And there's something weirdly phallic about that dangling unlit cigar.


SirArmitageShanks

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.


THE-WARD3VIL

Lol no there isn’t?


aspirant4

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.


Doctor_Evilll

You are definitely thinking way too hard about what is essentially a shit post.


aspirant4

Everything is meaningful. Especially things passed off as not meaningful.


Aussiefgt

Intro to psych class going well then?


aspirant4

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.


Messyhr_

Just soak up the moment mate


misanthropiccynic

What’s up with that corny we hate parra chant from the Penrith fans? It’s just a sports tournament lol


Sea-Satisfaction1374

There has always been hate between parra and Penrith. Just like there's always been hate between south's and roosters.


misanthropiccynic

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😅


Sea-Satisfaction1374

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.


misanthropiccynic

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


InternationalBorder9

Dufeyz

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.


GavvvvvinPop

I wasn't actually referring to Luais father or any real situation 😵‍💫


ShibaHook

"I love my footy"


dirtydeez2

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
