Jarome Luai's latest trip to Papua New Guinea has drawn criticism. Fox Sports reported it was shocked following his appearance. Yahoo News Australia observed the injured Luai turned up for a round of golf, asking what Parramatta are thinking. A Canberra golf star is also caught in the middle of the league controversy.
Nine.com.au said Luai is capitalising on the deal with a new sponsor. The Post Courier reported him saying he wants Nathan Cleary joins the PNG Chiefs. The National reported Luai added spark to the tournament atmosphere.
