Jarome Luai’s future at the Wests Tigers is under serious question, and the NRL bunker is back under fire.In this episode of The Monday Kick On, we break down why the Tigers may be ready to move Luai on early, whether another NRL club should take the risk for one season, and whether a year in Super League could be his best option before joining PNG.We also discuss the bunker’s latest mistakes, why double movements should be judged in real time, and whether more technology is actually helping the game.Plus, Robert Whittaker’s light heavyweight win, Daniel Tupou’s 300th NRL game, Mark Nawaqanitawase’s freakish play, the Bulldogs’ defensive collapse, the Dolphins conceding 66 points, Tallis Duncan’s Australian credentials, and another edition of Danny’s Diaries.Chapters:00:00 Intro, Robert Whittaker & Daniel Tupou
