Jarome Luai's recent visit to Papua New Guinea is facing backlash. Fox Sports claimed 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 stated Luai is cashing in through the agreement with a new sponsor. The Post Courier reported him saying he hopes Nathan Cleary joins the PNG Chiefs. The National said Luai added flair to the golf event.
