Luai was forced off the field in the NRL Grand Final due to a shoulder injury.
Jarome Luai, a Panthers five-eighth, was hauled off hurt in the second half of the 2023 NRL Telstra Premiership decider with a probable shoulder injury.
The great playmaker was replaced by Jack Cogger in the 51st minute of the game, with the Samoan five-eighth carrying his left arm as he walked around the field from the in goal to his team’s bench.
Luai dislocated his shoulder against the Eels two weeks before the playoffs, keeping him out until last weekend’s preliminary final loss to the Warriors.
Soon later, he was joined on the sidelines by teammates Isaah Yeo and Scott Sorensen, who were both taken off for head injury evaluations but cleared to return.
Meanwhile, despite an ongoing infection that has necessitated treatment for the past two months, Storm five-eighth Cameron Munster (knee) has declared himself ready to play for the Kangaroos in the end-of-season Tests.
After suffering a high-grade AC joint tear in Round 26 against the Sharks, Knights fullback Kalyn Ponga is hoping to avoid shoulder surgery in the off-season.
“I’m hoping not to have surgery.” “From what the physios and performance staff are saying, you either can or can’t, but I think it’s better not to,” Ponga remarked following the Warriors’ semi-final loss.
