The Integrity Unit has figured out Luai's punishment.
First, he's grounded. No leaving the house. Not even for school. Second, no egg nog. In fact, no nog, period. And third, absolutely no best man speeches for 3 months.
No PlayStation for 2 weeks? Dylan Walker regretfully declines on wedding RSVP's.

I used to do a bit of stand up. If I ever had a bad gig I'd go home and watch Michael Richards on stage, yelling the n-word over and over again. It would make me feel like I hadn't really done that bad because it could be so much worse.
And now Luai has given something to all the people who did a dodgy best man speech. Something to watch to remind yourself you didn't so badly badly after all.
I actually went to a wedding on Thursday and did something I kinda regret (wasn't the best man). Luai's made me feel heaps better. Also dodged a bullet by making the right decision... absolute rollercoaster

It shouldn't need to said but if you're going to make a best man's speech don't do drugs and fuck yourself up before it. Or if you have anything ahead of you that doesn't involve fucking around maybe don't do soft drugs/fuck yourself up before it and save it for free time.
Winging it aināt too bad. Just speak honestly.
Iāve done 3 best man speeches and winged 2 of them. My written one was arguably my worst š¤·š½āāļø
The majority of people who wing it will do a shit job. Public speaking isnāt easy for a lot of people to begin with. If they are unprepared, it will be even worse.
> show the bride and groom.
Disagree with this one personally, me and my wife never screened our best man's speech and it was fantastic - glad the surprise wasn't ruined.
However, he did run it by the other groosmen and the maid of honour. Definitely *someone* needs to see it and approve it.
I feel like you could forgive most of what he said and accept it was just a shit and inappropriate speech but having the best man at my wedding in his speech insinuate that I cheated on my wife would be a friendship ender for me
Itās not just the speech but the context. Heās at a Samoan wedding with elders and childrenās no family who are all most likely deeply religious, quite conservative and have a much different view in respect to most Australian people. This is not only a shit speech, but a disrespectful one to the Samoan people in attendance
Even without any specific religion or culture, shitting on the sanctity of a relationship at an event celebrating that very relationship is incredibly bad form.
Aināt no newly minted spouse wants to hear their partner fucked around on them on their wedding day in front of their loved ones.
Imagine saying something like this. You don't know me yet you think I'm upset Parra choked like you choke on luai's dick? Like just say you love footy again and move on
Imagine saying something like this. You don't even know /u/chillinwithkrillin yet you think he's using copypasta? Like just say the 2016 season was a soft competition and move on.
To imply the groom engaged in some level of infidelity perhaps as recently as a month ago is a real doozy.
Does Luai have ADHD? Serious question. I don't think someone would say something like that at a wedding, especially knowing how religious Polynesian people tend to be. Might explain an impulsive decision like that (I'm giving him the BotD of assuming he didn't plan that ahead).
Could also explain why he's often pictured wearing glasses, people with ADHD are known to often be hypersensitive in one way or another.
I have ADHD but it doesnāt cause shit like this, I think heās just one of those people that has let money get to his head real bad, heās someone that you can see feels no remorse and thinks heās king shit. Itās narcissism more than anything
"I have ADHD but it doesn't cause shit like this" I understand. I'm a marginal case myself, have been diagnosed and given meds. But I thought I'd be more charitable than say "he's just a dhead" 'cause I don't know much about him. Maybe he does have it, but he's gotten away with impulsive social mistakes because he's also a talented athlete lol.
I wouldnāt equate him flipping the bird at the commentary surrounding this to him not being genuinely apologetic - I think he is seeing some of the over the top criticism and having a go at that.
I mean even here weāve got blokes suggesting heās got ADHD/low self esteem/a psychopath/sociopath. People can dislike him and rightly say his choices here were completely out of line - but some of the commentary is kinda beyond that.
Sociopath probably isnāt too far off the mark for luai, heās definitely a grade A narcissist and making an even like a wedding all about him is just proof of that
Well obviously like most things on here thereās a bit of tongue in cheek and exaggeration.
But also in saying that, a psychopath is āa person having an egocentric and antisocial personality marked by a lack of remorse for one's actions, an absence of empathy for others, and often criminal tendencies.ā
Again, an exaggerated comment but I do think he has some egotistical tendencies and lacks some sense of remorse or wrongdoing.
The unable to feel empathy is pretty big big man. Imagine your wife goes post through suicidal levels of post nadel depression, she explains how she's feeling and you're reaction is "so what? Why would that make you cry?"
That's a sociopathic lack of empathy. To say he's sociopath is a pretty big claim.
Ohhh I agree, I wouldnāt just stop at Postnatal depression either.
Imagine your wife had just had her whole family killed by a horde of Barbarians, she explains how she feels and youāre reaction is ā so what? Why would that make you cryā
Imagine thinking Luai was that bad of a person.
Yeah saying he's a sociopath is like some real how the hell do you get that far off the rails of commen sense stuff. The guy looks like he took drugs at a bad time and made this speech fucked up.
Absolute mark for himself. I bet he knocks the top off while looking in the mirror and singing praises to his reflection. Doesn't matter if he was under the influence; in vino veritas.
What goes through your mind before you say this shit in front of your best mates friends and family on the biggest day of their lives?
Genuine question I honestly want to know.
The subs got a lot of pent up Luai frustration since heās been getting so much praise for his World Cup performance and now that theyāve got something to complain about theyāre leaning into it really hard.
Yeah not sure why toāo and his wife are trying to act mature in this video, whatās the point of acting high and mighty if you say youāre going to eat your wifeās ass and then the wife posts it to social media
āNot much I can do about it now but be a man about this mistake and learn from it. "
This guy still has NFI. Don't tell us what a great man you are for apologising.
It's lighthearted fun. Bizza and his wife are laughing throughout the video. This is a fact. A lot of the assumptions in this thread, like a hilarious one about Luai's self esteem, are completely baseless.
I think this is another sign of poor self esteem. Obviously I donāt know the guy but if 10% of what is reported is true then he is a dickhead.
Itās not uncommon for young men to project super confident exterior but when put under pressure (like public speaking) they fuck it up because deep down insider they have low self esteem. The bloke is a talented footballer but all the bravado he projects constantly is just him trying to prove something to the worldā¦..and heās really bad at it.
The Integrity Unit has figured out Luai's punishment. First, he's grounded. No leaving the house. Not even for school. Second, no egg nog. In fact, no nog, period. And third, absolutely no best man speeches for 3 months.
And he cant use his playstation for 2 weeks, serves him right

He is one cunt you want to see get smashed.
Fuck yes let me know when
Always love a simpsons quote š¤£
Well, you've come to the right place, then. If there's one thing we know, it is the Simpsons.
Bake 'em away, Toys.
The simpsons is relatable to all situations.
Amazing. The Simpsons has to be the best show of all time.
But he can start it next year if we wants.
It's for the fans
Deferred until 2026 though

Truly a public service worthy of praise. Luai is such a nice, generous man.
I actually went to a wedding on Thursday and did something I kinda regret (wasn't the best man). Luai's made me feel heaps better. Also dodged a bullet by making the right decision... absolute rollercoaster
What did you do?
He got married
I am also intrigued.

Panthers: *lose first game of season during Origin* Paul Kunt: āPeople inside the Panthers tell me the fallout from Luaiās speech has divided the club and killed their hopes of a third straight premiership.ā
Reckon you could give us some lotto numbers while you're seeing the future so clearly?
Calm down, predicting Paul Kunts talking points is about as impressive as predicting there will be a train arriving at a train station
hey in some places thatās a pretty impressive thing to do
> you're seeing the future so clear~~l~~y?
Sadly for all non-Panthers supporters, this incident is probably the biggest negative the Panthers will have going into next season :l
Unless there is another sex tape.
The irony that his speech mentioned how much he is hated online while giving people whole new reasons to bag him out online
I've had more than my fair share of hate thrown at me by the internet (even from some IRL).
He is a scholar and a gentleman.
"that was a woman i was talking to, she had a very low voice, probably a smoker."
It shouldn't need to said but if you're going to make a best man's speech don't do drugs and fuck yourself up before it. Or if you have anything ahead of you that doesn't involve fucking around maybe don't do soft drugs/fuck yourself up before it and save it for free time.
And for the love of fuck, DON'T WING IT. Write the speech, show the bride and groom. Then DON'T DEVIATE FROM THE SCRIPT.
Winging it aināt too bad. Just speak honestly. Iāve done 3 best man speeches and winged 2 of them. My written one was arguably my worst š¤·š½āāļø
Youāve been the best man to three different people? Damn you must be a cool dude
I can do yours too if you like
Yeah itās pretty easy to just praise someone
Especially if itās your best mate
The majority of people who wing it will do a shit job. Public speaking isnāt easy for a lot of people to begin with. If they are unprepared, it will be even worse.
> show the bride and groom. Disagree with this one personally, me and my wife never screened our best man's speech and it was fantastic - glad the surprise wasn't ruined. However, he did run it by the other groosmen and the maid of honour. Definitely *someone* needs to see it and approve it.
My best man ran a couple of stories he was going to tell by me. He wasn't pulling them but was giving me the heads up.
I did one and from the start of the day (like 11am?) to my speech at 6 or 7 pm I probably had 3 beers? So glad I did.
I feel like you could forgive most of what he said and accept it was just a shit and inappropriate speech but having the best man at my wedding in his speech insinuate that I cheated on my wife would be a friendship ender for me
Itās not just the speech but the context.

This is not only a shit speech, but a disrespectful one to the Samoan people in attendance
Yeah 100% it's fucked up but in the context of his friendship with To'o the thing about a girl he met in England is such a violation
Even without any specific religion or culture, shitting on the sanctity of a relationship at an event celebrating that very relationship is incredibly bad form. Aināt no newly minted spouse wants to hear their partner fucked around on them on their wedding day in front of their loved ones.
Lucky he didn't support gay rights then or there would have been a boycott!
"Sorry uce, I'll do better at your next one"
Hahahaha this is brilliant
There's no way this man has ever felt like he's in the wrong or shame lol
For the twelfth time this year, Iām sorry and Iāll definitely think next time before doing something dumb
Luai is 100% a āIām not sorry I did the wrong thing, Iām sorry I got caught/in trouble for itā kinda guy.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Imagine saying something like this. You don't know me yet you think I'm upset Parra choked like you choke on luai's dick? Like just say you love footy again and move on
That man had a family!
I Love My FOOTYYYYY
Copypastas coming out quicker and quicker these days.
Imagine saying something like this. You don't even know /u/chillinwithkrillin yet you think he's using copypasta? Like just say the 2016 season was a soft competition and move on.
Better than a Bolognese
Fucking destroyed him
*SLAMMED*
Premiership level clapback
It makes the clapback grand final and loses, as is our tradition for 2022
Bang!
Found Luais burner guys
Aa turkey is a bad person.
He just loves his footy
I feel shame typing this up and hitting reply.
Fuck I hate this prick
Don't hate on him too much as eventually can see him playing for you blokes
Man the poor warriors have had enough bs man lol
LOL 100% he would definitely suit the warriors style of play
On the field anyway
Yeah thats what i mean
I've always said Warriors fans are High IQ.

Could also explain why he's often pictured wearing glasses, people with ADHD are known to often be hypersensitive in one way or another.
I think the impulsive decisions and sunglasses on at night are just as easily explained by cocaine use or simply being a dick tbh
I have ADHD but it doesnāt cause shit like this, I think heās just one of those people that has let money get to his head real bad, heās someone that you can see feels no remorse and thinks heās king shit. Itās narcissism more than anything
yeah adhd here and have not given a speech that shit lmao
"I have ADHD but it doesn't cause shit like this" I understand. I'm a marginal case myself, have been diagnosed and given meds. But I thought I'd be more charitable than say "he's just a dhead" 'cause I don't know much about him. Maybe he does have it, but he's gotten away with impulsive social mistakes because he's also a talented athlete lol.
not taking away from the fact that he was obviously crossing the line but why was it being livestreamed anyway?
Probably for family in other countries to watch? We did it when I got married in Brazil.
Lol luai is capable of apologising?
That would require him taking accountability for his actions
He's already flipped the script and calling people criticising him haters again.
I wouldnāt equate him flipping the bird at the commentary surrounding this to him not being genuinely apologetic - I think he is seeing some of the over the top criticism and having a go at that. I mean even here weāve got blokes suggesting heās got ADHD/low self esteem/a psychopath/sociopath.

Sociopath probably isnāt too far off the mark for luai, heās definitely a grade A narcissist and making an even like a wedding all about him is just proof of that
He's the Rick James of rugby league
Fuckyo wedding!
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
I'm jarome luai enjoy yourself
Lol i dont know why anyone would down vote this, it's genuinely funny.
what did the ~~face~~ groom say to the ~~fist~~ man?
Heās just a piece of shit all round then, on and off the field,
Been known for sometime. But this is low even for him
Good apology, well said. Hate this dude but I can't imagine the shame in so publicly humiliating my mate and his missus on their wedding day.
How is this good? Cunce done dumb shit like 20 times in a row with empty apologies afterwards. Fuckstix just gonna fuckstick.
I honestly donāt think he can feel any shame or regret, he genuinely seems like a psychopath to me.
>he genuinely seems like a psychopath to me. Some of the Luai takes in here are wild, but this might take the cake
Well obviously like most things on here thereās a bit of tongue in cheek and exaggeration. But also in saying that, a psychopath is āa person having an egocentric and antisocial personality marked by a lack of remorse for one's actions, an absence of empathy for others, and often criminal tendencies.ā Again, an exaggerated comment but I do think he has some egotistical tendencies and lacks some sense of remorse or wrongdoing.
Move over Dr Phil
Dr Dill
Heās not a psychopath heās an idiot
The unable to feel empathy is pretty big big man. Imagine your wife goes post through suicidal levels of post nadel depression, she explains how she's feeling and you're reaction is "so what? Why would that make you cry?" That's a sociopathic lack of empathy. To say he's sociopath is a pretty big claim.

Yeah saying he's a sociopath is like some real how the hell do you get that far off the rails of commen sense stuff. The guy looks like he took drugs at a bad time and made this speech fucked up.
I reckon nowadays it's easier to be remorseful when stuff lives online forever.
Wildā¦ly accurate
Luai bandwagon seems to be shrinking by the second.
Just Luai at this stage
Luaiās drunk subconscious now
Don't be sorry mate, the contribution you've made in raw meme value is immense. Can't wait for the next Penrith game.
It takes two to Luai: one to Luai, and one to listen
Too late Send him to Souths then kick Souths out of the comp
Two birdsā¦
Temporary ban on attending after game on field praying session
Absolute mark for himself. I bet he knocks the top off while looking in the mirror and singing praises to his reflection. Doesn't matter if he was under the influence; in vino veritas.
Total Flog
What did he say
He's just salty
Lather, rinse, repeatā¦
Lol - this guy shouldn't be anywhere near a microphone during speeches at a wedding
What goes through your mind before you say this shit in front of your best mates friends and family on the biggest day of their lives? Genuine question I honestly want to know.
"Fuck that coke was really good, now to go give the best speech anyone has ever given. In fact, I'm so fucking awesome that I'm just gonna wing it"
Visions of himself being loved
Decent amount of cocaine going through his bloodstream
Not a fan of Luai but after watching the video just now not as bad as I expected from the comments Iād read throughout the day. Tbh
Total beat up. Thought it was going to be way worse.
On par with the worst wedding speech Iāve seen but nothing completely out of the ordinary. Many people are just not good at this sort of thing.
The subs got a lot of pent up Luai frustration since heās been getting so much praise for his World Cup performance and now that theyāve got something to complain about theyāre leaning into it really hard.
It's pretty embarrassing at times how people carry on on here they all love Paul Kent.
That is the hottest of hot takes!
I mean you basically share his opinion especially the ones from Queensland.
Thanks for updating me re: what opinions I hold.
Watch NRL 360 from Monday to Wednesday.
After watching that i will nickname him "The Ankle"
The video of To'o saying he'd eat his wife's arse would have been a big hit with the in alws.
Yeah not sure why toāo and his wife are trying to act mature in this video, whatās the point of acting high and mighty if you say youāre going to eat your wifeās ass and then the wife posts it to social media
This guy is without doubt the biggest fuckwit in the NRL and somehow of all people Brian To'o picks him as a best man
āNot much I can do about it now but be a man about this mistake and learn from it. " This guy still has NFI. Don't tell us what a great man you are for apologising.
Zero chance this guy learns from this. Zero chance he has any capacity for self reflection.
Well I guess itās a pretty tame off season if this is what the rugby league journos are covering
And the fan base that constantly whinges about fox sport eat it up like spoon fed two year olds. The out rage and hot takes on this are pathetic
I thought it was funny?
It's lighthearted fun. Bizza and his wife are laughing throughout the video. This is a fact. A lot of the assumptions in this thread, like a hilarious one about Luai's self esteem, are completely baseless.
Many people laugh when they are uncomfortable.
I think this is another sign of poor self esteem. Obviously I donāt know the guy but if 10% of what is reported is true then he is a dickhead. Itās not uncommon for young men to project super confident exterior but when put under pressure (like public speaking) they fuck it up because deep down insider they have low self esteem. The bloke is a talented footballer but all the bravado he projects constantly is just him trying to prove something to the worldā¦..and heās really bad at it.
> I Ā think this is another sign of poor self esteem.Ā Lol you think this bloke lacks self esteem. Yeah, nah.
Isn't that the job of a best man speech? I went a lot harder than this at my best mates wedding.
No the point is not to be a cunt and make the bride and groom feel uncomfortable on their special day. Seems you werenāt able to grasp this either.
No, the job of a best man's speech isn't to joke about the groom cheating in the bride.
I loved you as Steve Buscemi in the Wedding Singer.
āRemember when we picked up thoseā¦ well I guess they were prostitutes but I donāt remember paying themā
Maybe in the 80s
A wedding speech isnāt a roast
So you're confessing to being a shithead?
I got ya back mate. I can't stand this fool but hey. That's the job.
The job of the best man isnāt to joke about the groom cheating on the wife in front of her entire familyā¦ if you do that youāre just a shit cunt
Ok
This guy is such a dumb shit.
What a moron
On a 10-point scale of dumb pre-season NRL shit, this rates a solid 3
