Jarome Luai's recent visit to Papua New Guinea is facing backlash. Fox Sports said it was shocked after his trip. Yahoo News Australia noted the injured Luai made a surprise golf appearance, questioning what Parramatta are thinking. A Canberra golf star is also caught in the middle of the league controversy.
Nine.com.au reported Luai is capitalising under the arrangement with a new sponsor. The Post Courier quoted him as saying he is hoping Nathan Cleary joins the PNG Chiefs. The National said Luai added flair to the golf event.
