Jarome Luai's latest trip to Papua New Guinea is facing backlash. Fox Sports claimed it was stunned following his appearance. Yahoo News Australia noted the injured Luai showed up to play golf, asking what Parramatta are thinking. A Canberra golf star is also involved in the league controversy.
Nine.com.au said Luai is profiting on the deal with a new sponsor. The Post Courier quoted him saying he wants Nathan Cleary joins the PNG Chiefs. The National noted Luai added spark to the day's play.
