Playing Loup when no stealth needed

Greets!

I have an educated guess regarding this question but I pose it anyway just to make sure.

Can Loup be played (like Repulsion OBE) even if no stealth is needed?

Reference ruling: [Superior Obeah]
Can be used even if the stealth is not currently needed. [LSJ 20011214-2]

Name: Loup
[30th:6]
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Clan: Toreador
Only one Loup can be played each turn.
Put this card in play. Toreador get +1 stealth. Burn this card at the end of the turn or after a Toreador performs a successful action.

Name: Repulsion
[BL:C1, LoB:C, POD:DTC]
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Discipline: Obeah/Presence

 Only usable as the action is announced. If this action is blocked, this vampire gets 1 optional maneuver, only usable to get to long range, during the resulting combat.

[obe] +1 stealth.

[OBE] Put this card on this vampire. This vampire gets +1 stealth. Burn this card if this vampire is in torpor. This vampire cannot have or play another Repulsion.

Thanks in advance and I wish happy new year all!

Same ruling applies - the primary effect of playing the card is putting it in play. The rest is an effect of the card in play, thus does not limit when it can be played.
