Wests Tigers coach Brad Fittler says the situation involving Jarome Luai’s exit has had a “massive impact” on the club. The comments are made in the context of the Tigers’ current poor form, which multiple reports describe as a “horror slump.” While the outlets focus on Fittler’s assessment of the effect on the team, they do not provide detailed explanation of the specific on-field or operational changes tied to Luai’s departure. All three sources present the same core message: Fittler links the club’s struggles to the disruption caused by the Luai situation, suggesting it has affected the Tigers beyond routine squad turnover. The reports also agree that the Tigers’ downturn is significant enough to characterize the period as a slump. Beyond Fittler’s quoted view, the articles largely restate the club’s struggling performance rather than offering new information about the circumstances of Luai’s exit. Overall, the coverage centers on the coach’s characterization of the impact and the team’s challenging run of results.
