About 5.30pm on Thursday, emergency services were called to Macquarie Avenue, Penrith, following reports a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle before it drove away from the scene without stopping.

I’m not exactly sure how Jarome Luai will be feeling heading into Sunday afternoon’s clash between the Wests Tigers and his former club, the Penrith Panthers. Some will bill it as Luai’s chance to prove a point – that he is capable of running a football team, doesn’t have to play second fiddle to anyone and is worth the price tag that comes with such a skillset. But Luai’s departure from Penrith was not one of animosity or anger.
