Welcome to the Jungle, Jarome Luai, our special guest on this week’s summer series edition of Behind The Roar.
Wests Tigers' marquee signing covers plenty of ground on the club’s official podcast, telling us how much he’s looking forward to the challenges ahead.
Actions do speak louder than words. I don't really want to talk about what we're gonna do, I'll let our actions speak for themselves.

He says he was blown away by the warm reception he received at last weekend’s Members Only training session, where he signed autographs for the best part of an hour and a half.
Jarome reveals his first taste of the NRL was watching the 2005 Grand Final from a caravan park on the Central Coast, and how from that moment on, he became a Wests Tigers and Benji Marshall fan.
‘Romey’ also tells BTR how important Benji was in his decision to join Wests Tigers, as was his good mate, Api Koroisau.
He talks about what it means to be “handed the keys to the car” as the club’s new chief playmaker, and what’s impressed him most about young gun Lachie Galvin.
Luai was nothing short of brilliant in 2024, helping the Panthers to a fourth straight premiership and NSW to victory in the State of Origin series.
It should be music to the ears then of Wests Tigers fans to hear Jarome admit he still has a whole lot of improvement left in him.
All that and more on this special edition of BTR which is available on YouTube, Apple and Spotify at 7 pm on Monday night.
One Jungle. No Limits. Get Behind the Roar.
