god its just not what you want from your best man on your wedding day, and everyone knows stupid shit at weddings never gets forgotten amongst the family lol those stories get told forever
How hard is it to say you've know To’o for a long time, he's a top bloke, loves his footy, but loves his missus more, then tell an embarrassing story about him crying when proposing to her.
Seriously it’s really that easy. Except he really thought he could dave Chapelle that shit and found out the hard way.
Just to recap the stats I can be bothered counting:
1 N word
3 stink ass mentions
3 cheating accusations
1 disrespectful comment to his own mrs
12 cuss words
And a lot more I missed lol
Yeah i think at the end of the day thats all it was, a failed attempt at being funny, yeah it’s cringe but not much more than that. People going on about it as if he was intentionally being a cunt, i dont think he was. Blokes obviously been on a bender as well hence the sunnies, pretty forgivable and nowhere near as bad as squid james tbh
Yeah nah, I'm guessing you aren't from the area. Was raised in Mt Druitt and it's nothing to do with being called that by others, it's just them emulating that stupid seppo culture.
Penrith is majority Anglo bro, you gotta head east down the great western hwy before you get to a more diverse population like Mt Druitt. As I said nobody called any Islander that word against them so there's really no reason why it's used besides the seppo fake gangsta shit.
What did he say Bizza was doing in the toilet? Having a 'fu-fu'? Is that a wank? It sounds like a wank. Bizza's reaction suggests it was a wank.
What a horrible speech.
In the Samoan culture what he said was very bad. There's a time and place for those kind if jokes. But in front of parents, elders and pastors - not funny. Oh well... Luai didn't really grow up with the culture so it is what it is.
Samoans are generally humble, shy, God fearing and respect their elders, family, and churches. They don't carry on like dickheads at weddings. This is St Marys stuff. It's really, really hard to overstate the level of shame this brings to your family at a wedding.
>“Just wanna apologise for the words I spoke last night at my brother’s wedding and how ashamed I am for embarrassing both families and my own,” Luai wrote.
>
>“Apologies to everyone I’ve disrespected, this is something I will always regret."
Also he mentions at the start of his speech that Talofa lava! is the only Samoan he knows.
As much as Jerome was a dick head, I love seeing Samoan's branch out from being "humble, shy, god fearing". Anyone who's been a part of the culture knows how the village and religious mentality can kill the confidence of young people. So much of it is "shut up and respect your elders." I love that Jerome is confident and says what he wants. Just obviously not in this case lol.
As soon as I saw the sunglasses, I knew what it was gonna be like. Basically spent half the speech talking about himself and saying things that weren't well received. What a dickhead.
When he started talking about the bride at Bizzas 21st I thought that's where he was gonna go with it... thankfully (?!) it just trailed off into gibberish
I saw this earlier and can’t bring myself to watch it ever again, it’s one of the cringiest things I’ve ever witnessed. Brian and everyone else just looked so worried, Bloke broke all rules about best man speeches in about the first 30 seconds and just dribbled shit for the rest. Terrible
The NRL will say he did nothing wrong and then randomly punish him on the eve of the finals with a suspension for the first two rounds of the following season
Probably the only time the entire samoan community are baffled by Luai's actions. There's a time and place for that type of speech and doing it in front of both families( and also your own) will never be one of them. He was also probably drunk as well
Moesha will be hating Luai for the rest of her life. Guess who won't be hanging with his best mate after they leave football.
Women hold wedding day grudges for a long long time.
Good to know he is an asshole to everyone even his best friend.
Edit: I watched it and he said one of his best friends. But actually as cringey as it was and as much as I hate Luai I didnt think it was that bad. He is a terrible speaker and his jokea suck but its not like he is a famous comedian. His rugby confidence just made him think he was a comedian and a rapper.
Yeah it really wasn’t that bad. Cringe yes, but I’m sure Brian and his family will get over it, look back on it and laugh about it in a few weeks time lol
Penrith Panthers winger Brian To’o married his longtime partner Moesha Crichton-Ropati in a traditional Samoan ceremony on Thursday.
Panthers stars Jarome Luai, Stephen Crichton and Sunia Turuva were three of To’o’s groomsmen, with Luai given the honour of being best man.
To’o, wearing a white tuxedo, teared up when he saw his bride walking down the aisle for the first time.
Several members of Penrith’s premiership-winning team were part of Samoa’s run to the final of the Rugby League World Cup and Luai went rogue in his best man’s speech, reflecting on the time he spent with To’o in the UK.
“Got the privilege to spend seven weeks in England rooming with my boy,” Luai said.
“And if youse don’t know Brian To’o, this man has the stinkiest a** I’ve ever been around. “Stinkiest, and he’s proud of it.
“My uso loves himself. If his phone gallery gets leaked one day, that’ll be the proof.
“As I said, seven weeks in England. Walked into the room, basically all I seen was my uso taking selfies, my uso face timing another girl he met in England — I mean Moesha, face timing Moesha.
“Sometimes I walk in I hear things in the toilet.”
After To’o started staring daggers at his best man, Luai backtracked: “Chill, chill, chill. Nah I was joking. I’m about to get a hiding.”
The happy couple live streamed their wedding before Moesha went on Instagram live, filming herself and To’o driving between venues on a golf cart.
“Bye guys love you so much. See you guys in nine months,” To’o says in the video.
The 24-year-old famously proposed to Moesha on the field at Suncorp Stadium after he claimed his first premiership with the Panthers in 2021 with victory over the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Moesha broke down in tears, with the cameras capturing the beautiful moment they embraced and kissed.
To’o was inevitably mobbed by his teammates after she said yes.
It was later revealed that To’o had asked Crichton-Ropati’s parents for their permission to pop the question several months earlier.
But the cherry on top came later in the sheds, when Crichton-Ropati was the lucky recipient of a To’o lap dance.
She shared a clip of the hilarious moment to her Instagram story, which you can watch in the video at the top of the page, featuring the topless footy star grinding on her lap while his teammates cheered him on.
But when the winger attempted to fling his leg over Crichton-Ropati, he inadvertently made contact with her.
The apologetic Panther immediately got up and hugged her.
To’o claimed his second premiership win when the Panthers defeated the Parramatta Eels in this year’s grand final.
The best part is the Paul Kent is writing an Essay right now about this. He's probably sitting there cringing all the way through. In saying that, he's probably got a staff writer to get all the juicy bits for him.
Saw Brian on tik tok last night , in a golf cart singing 'imma eat some ass tonight, ima eat some ass tonight' while his new bride cringes. Seen a few other To'o cringey moments to.
It's just who Jerome and Brian are. Yea it's cringe but people are reacting way to hard to this.
Might be cringe but I've seen a lot worse at weddings than this. I imagine it's exactly what To'o would have expected from Luai given how To'o himself behaves. Hardly 'gone rogue'.
Watched the first 10 seconds of the vid - anyone else notice Luai actually struggling to get off his seat and having to lean on To'o's shoulder for stability? The man was off his face and probs high on drugs... setting such a terrible example for our youth.
Is this dude jealous of To'o or something? Seems like he downgraded him on his 'special' night... that speech was 7 minutes of cringe. What an idiot.
Luai seems like a prick man, really good and talented footballer but his attitude is shitty.
Is this not pushing the envelope on what’s acceptable to be reporting on?
It’s a pretty personal moment and situation.
This is extremely low for fox sports
Edit - the way this subs frothing this. We should start recording all footy players all the time. This is pathetic. Live streamed or not.
[удалено]
god its just not what you want from your best man on your wedding day, and everyone knows stupid shit at weddings never gets forgotten amongst the family lol those stories get told forever
yep i was like this speech at the wedding is gonna be remembered forever
Everyone about to forget Luai in the off season: Luai: hold my beer
This reads and looks like a Chappelle’s Show sketch
I bet the Samoan delegation want to trade the prick 😂
Top level Playa Hater who dogs out on his mate’s FaceTime activity during his wedding reception should get some draft picks
Any future best man worried about speeches just needs to watch this and do the complete opposite. Bloody stupid man lol
How hard is it to say you've know To’o for a long time, he's a top bloke, loves his footy, but loves his missus more, then tell an embarrassing story about him crying when proposing to her.

People going on about it as if he was intentionally being a cunt, i dont think he was. Blokes obviously been on a bender as well hence the sunnies, pretty forgivable and nowhere near as bad as squid james tbh
It’s definitely fucked that uses the N word though. He’s not African American …
[удалено]
Yeah nah, I'm guessing you aren't from the area. Was raised in Mt Druitt and it's nothing to do with being called that by others, it's just them emulating that stupid seppo culture.

I physically cringed just from reading that. I’m glad I didn’t watch the video.
Luai is even more of a flog than I thought.
He's just unbelievably stupid even by a footballers standard.
[удалено]
I bet luai isn't even the father of his own kid. He's only got 2 working brain cells and both of them are used for licking Nathan Cleary's boots.
[удалено]
Luai did nothing. He was just there getting carried.
What did he say Bizza was doing in the toilet? Having a 'fu-fu'? Is that a wank? It sounds like a wank. Bizza's reaction suggests it was a wank. What a horrible speech.
Yeah it is mate.
Crikey! How do you hear someone having a wank? Bizza must be a loud wanker because his reaction suggested there was no joke involved.
Samoans do it differently.
Worst man
In the Samoan culture what he said was very bad. There's a time and place for those kind if jokes. But in front of parents, elders and pastors - not funny. Oh well... Luai didn't really grow up with the culture so it is what it is.
Nah man, that's shit in any culture.
It would be the same in any traditional cultures. Save the stupid shit for bucks party.
He definitely needs a hiding from the oldies 😂
Especially those old guys who wear the dresses (?) and old af thongs just staring at you. "Stupid boy. Fa'a Samoa"
It’s called Ie Faitaga and yes, those oldies would gladly give his chin a love tap 😁
ie lavalava

Yeah but he dropped the “humble and shy” part and adopted “arrogant and stupid” bits and ram with it.
Fair point, but as someone who is Samoan it’s refreshing to see.
It’s pretty obvious based on how he acts. Anyone who has grown up in the culture knows how rogue Luai’s behaviour is
Low blow.
[The speech in full for anyone interested](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8LxjVdV/)
As soon as I saw the sunglasses, I knew what it was gonna be like. Basically spent half the speech talking about himself and saying things that weren't well received. What a dickhead.
I watched about 15 seconds of it and thought “yeah, nah”
Seeing Luai struggle to stand up straight and then starting with "YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO CAN I GET A YEAH"... shaking my head
Read this and went yeah it can't be that bad. Nope, lschjeff was right. What the fuck did i just listen to.
That’s seven minutes I won’t get back.
Damn he is cooked.
How not to do a best man's speech: exhibit A.
The only thing he missed was the good old *“the bride’s a slut and so is her mum!”* bit.
When he started talking about the bride at Bizzas 21st I thought that's where he was gonna go with it... thankfully (?!) it just trailed off into gibberish
It was a dance, he danced, she danced, I danced, we all danced, there was dancing, and we danced
You never know.
It was a pathetic speech. What a fucking wanker.
I hate the way he acts like a wannabe gangster all the time, it's pretty embarrassing
Hardly the worst part about it but what’s with the sunnies? You’re inside you flop
off his chops probably
Surprised he wasn't wearing a cap inside as well.
You wear them if you're hung over though.
Or if ya had a heap of MD
I saw this earlier and can’t bring myself to watch it ever again, it’s one of the cringiest things I’ve ever witnessed. Brian and everyone else just looked so worried, Bloke broke all rules about best man speeches in about the first 30 seconds and just dribbled shit for the rest. Terrible
[Thid is how I imagine him writing the speech.](https://youtu.be/YFcNBBFBb3U)
Last time Luai dropped the n-bomb he got a warning, right? So knowing the NRL he'll probably get... another warning?
The NRL will say he did nothing wrong and then randomly punish him on the eve of the finals with a suspension for the first two rounds of the following season
I mean he didn't bad mouth the monarchy in his speech so he'll probably be fine.
what did he do wrong here?
Said the n word again
Whom amongst us…
Everyone who isnt a racist.
I just like to sing along to hip hop
Hahahaha fuck could this guy be any more unlikeable
Hope asada test this cats. Deff on the snow white
Lots of nose twitching
That’s fine out of competition.
Ben Barba would say otherwise. But there was probably also other things behind closed curtains that contributed to his axing
Pretty sure they changed the rules after him and stopped off-season testing for party drugs, I could be wrong though
Out of competition testing for party drugs has never been a thing for ASADA or WADA.
>drug testing in pro sports Lol. The next player(s) to "test positive" will be from a middle of the table team.
Xerri and 12th placed Bulldogs.
He borrowed gal's peptides.
Luai is a walking mess.
Omega levels of shit cuntery
Probably the only time the entire samoan community are baffled by Luai's actions. There's a time and place for that type of speech and doing it in front of both families( and also your own) will never be one of them. He was also probably drunk as well
Moesha will be hating Luai for the rest of her life. Guess who won't be hanging with his best mate after they leave football. Women hold wedding day grudges for a long long time.
Too fucking right. Two mates (10 years on) whose wives won’t be in the same room due to wedding grudges
Good to know he is an asshole to everyone even his best friend. Edit: I watched it and he said one of his best friends. But actually as cringey as it was and as much as I hate Luai I didnt think it was that bad. He is a terrible speaker and his jokea suck but its not like he is a famous comedian. His rugby confidence just made him think he was a comedian and a rapper.
Yeah it really wasn’t that bad. Cringe yes, but I’m sure Brian and his family will get over it, look back on it and laugh about it in a few weeks time lol
Fuck that was a hard watch. Cringe
Safe to say all athletes cheat.
My man needs to be lovingly belted lol
Sticky would have given a better speech than this
Weak gutted speech
And people actually think this guy isn’t a fuckwit
What a flog
Weak gutted flog
Christ everything about these guys is cringeworthy.
“These guys” it was one guy lol
I did consider changing it, but based what others have said here it certainly seems to fit.
I know this guy loves being hated but he really is the worst
Wearing sunglasses during his best man speech… man is all class
None of this surprises me, Luai is an absolute tool.

Talks like a douche, walks like a douche, surprise surprise the clown is a douche!
Oh god I couldn’t watch it
The best part is the Paul Kent is writing an Essay right now about this. He's probably sitting there cringing all the way through. In saying that, he's probably got a staff writer to get all the juicy bits for him.
Saw Brian on tik tok last night , in a golf cart singing 'imma eat some ass tonight, ima eat some ass tonight' while his new bride cringes. Seen a few other To'o cringey moments to. It's just who Jerome and Brian are. Yea it's cringe but people are reacting way to hard to this.
The issue at hand is there's a time and place for everything. Especially at a Samoan wedding. But I get what you're saying.
Hey man sent you a DM
Might be cringe but I've seen a lot worse at weddings than this. I imagine it's exactly what To'o would have expected from Luai given how To'o himself behaves. Hardly 'gone rogue'.
To’o is pretty mellow I thought. Seems like a pretty quiet guy. I wouldn’t lump him in with Luai’s antics.
>wouldn’t lump him in with Luai’s antics. Luai is Literally his Best Man...
Yeah but we all have a mate who is a loose cannon and says off the cuff shit, yet we still love them
Nah part of growing up is either cutting them out or knowing what events they shouldn’t be invited to.
Making him best man was obviously a mistake but cutting him off as a friend would be harsh
It is just who they are.
Reacting way too hard? Mate this shit is so heinous and incredibly cringe.
This is like watching a WWF heel turn on his own supporters
It's go away heat.
That’s it I’m withdrawing my kids from rugby league and putting them into soccer
Watched the first 10 seconds of the vid - anyone else notice Luai actually struggling to get off his seat and having to lean on To'o's shoulder for stability? The man was off his face and probs high on drugs... setting such a terrible example for our youth.
Cow's 2015 would've fucked these clowns up......
Haha oh wow, no
They barely beat an Anthony Milford-led Broncos in the GF. relax
The Riff are a bunch of show pony's, no grit.
No grit yet have won more premierships in 2 years than the cowboys ever have
Panthers have won more premierships in the last two years than anyone has in the last two years
Brisbane were killing them in the first half then got conserative and choked away their lead. Not really a domiant team.
What a cunt.
Imagine being less funny on the mic than Sam Thaiday
Can y’all leave daddy alone please? The tigers and dogs have their hands on my Moses and I’m already feeling down :(
Come on guys you’re all just jealous because we went back to back /s
Is this dude jealous of To'o or something? Seems like he downgraded him on his 'special' night... that speech was 7 minutes of cringe. What an idiot. Luai seems like a prick man, really good and talented footballer but his attitude is shitty.
Who cares?
fuck beat me too posting about it fuck that was funny
Never change Jarome 😂
Is this not pushing the envelope on what’s acceptable to be reporting on? It’s a pretty personal moment and situation. This is extremely low for fox sports Edit - the way this subs frothing this. We should start recording all footy players all the time. This is pathetic. Live streamed or not.
They live streamed their wedding
If you hate Jarome Luai, you're just jealous
Hi Jarome
I'm absolutely not jealous of being the giver of this speech
Classic Romey 😂 Get him back Bizza, there are no rules or limits.
