His exit them became increasingly complicated when the Tigers granted him to explore his options for 2027 which ultimately led to a move to the Parramatta Eels for a single season before then linking up with the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
Following the messy departure, Tallis believes the saga could have changed the way he is viewed inside the NRL and particularly among the teammates he has left behind at the Tigers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t like it if he was playing with me. The dressing room changed,\u201d Tallis said on NRL 360.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he\u2019s signed for PNG and he\u2019s really powerful amongst players and he\u2019s there going to spruik the good word about PNG, there wouldn\u2019t be too many Tigers players who would go with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe turned his back on them and Parramatta is going to think the same because he\u2019s only there for six months and then goes to PNG. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest thing in rugby league is trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comments from the Queensland Maroons icon came before CODE Sports reporter Michael Carayannis argued that both the Tigers and Luai have a reason to feel aggrieved with one another by how the situation has unfolded.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like both parties feel like they\u2019ve been disrespected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cJarome Luai left Penrith on great terms because it didn\u2019t feel like he was disrespected. <\/p>\n
\u201cI have no doubt the Tigers feel like they were disrespected during this process and Jarome Luai feels the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Tallis suggested that his future teammates at the Eels may also feel disrespected he is on there for 12 months, The Daily Telegraph\u2019s Brent Read highlighted the different of Luai situation\u2019s at the Tigers and Parramatta.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a distinct difference between the Tigers situation and the Parra situation. Parramatta know what they are getting,\u201d Read said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re getting him for one year. The Tigers situation was we\u2019re getting him for five years. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got out clauses (but) we think he\u2019s going to stay. Then he left. Parramatta know what they are getting. They get him for 12 months (and) he\u2019s come for one purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fallout from Luai\u2019s departure continued on Tuesday evening with his decision to miss the club\u2019s awards night which added another layer to the growing tensions surrounding his exit.<\/p>\n
Read described the decision as a much bigger breakdown between the two parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a culmination of a whole lot of big deals. The season slowly unravelled. The relationship with the Tigers unravelled,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it was an isolated incident you would say it\u2019s not such a big deal, but it\u2019s a culmination of him joining PNG and it all unfolded after that.<\/p>\n
Phins up in Redcliffe? | 01:42<\/p>\n
Former Tigers star Braith Anasta revealed he was disappointed by Luai\u2019s decision believing it was the final opportunity to show his appreciation to the side and his now ex-teammates.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was (his) last chance really to show respect to the club. They\u2019ve given a lot to him,\u201d Anasta said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot just money but a lot of stuff. As a player, it doesn\u2019t sit well with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gordon Tallis agreed and shared Anasta\u2019a frustration.<\/p>\n
Tallis elaborated, \u201cIt didn\u2019t sit well with me too. At the moment, with what he was saying about the Tigers allowing him to go to PNG to go and negotiate and go back over there for the golf, I think it\u2019s disrespectful. <\/p>\n
\u201c(Not just) to the Tigers, but the game. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s about the club. I think it\u2019s a lack of respect for his teammates who are going to get the awards.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gorden Tallis has slammed Jarome Luai\u2019s messy exit from the Wests Tigers and believes it could have lasting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":894269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-894268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=894268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/894269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=894268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=894268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=894268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
