Released after 2011 season after being charged with assaulting his partner to which he plead guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He was also charged with assaulting her after the 2010 season

Thanks.
Shame he was a flog. We might have had a real shot at the title

How about this for a spine 1. Isaako 6. Walters 7. Kelly 9. Turpin

🤮

Did we end up getting rid of him because of the off field nonsense or was it because Sheens got the ass?

Because of his disgusting violent attitude towards women,i honestly hope that he has learnt from it as there is never an excuse for that type of behaviour

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Garbage tier.

🚮😂

deadset QLD cup spine that one

 

[haberfield_tiger]

Lui had a great short pass and a good kicking game. He could get us into field position so Benji and Farah could do their thing. That is something brooks lacks and has been our problem for years. While brooks wears the 7 we will not make the 8.

 

[Tiger5150]

Extremely safe.

Not flashy or game changing... but allowed Benji and Farah to carve.

Very important piece of the puzzle.

People forget how bad a defender he was which was tolerable in that team. In this team we would be calling for his head.

I was referring to the fact that if we had of come last a few times we would have been more open to change and maybe been successful a lot quicker. Maybe.

He beat his missus, twice.

think his misses was related to Sam Backo,past up huge $$$ with warriors,to sort his shite,and show the Cow/b some loyalty

Well he didnt learn the first time so......

Recidivist....not a purty word.

That is twice that the media heard about,i would be very surprised if it only happened twice and i really liked him as a player

Our defence must be our primary kpi for this season, Nofoaluma we are looking at you.

. . . . . . . . and Nofo is looking at the A and B defenders.

 

[tigerballs]

and we had: Tedesco, Koroibete, Richards, Lawrence, Simona, Marshall, Woods, Farah, Fifita, Taupou, Blair etc.

There's a premiership right there...

Bellamy

It's alot to do with Bellamy but the player already has it he just seems to see it in the player just take JAC and Jason Taylor

Bellamy is like the horse whisper for NRL players

Remember 2010 vs Dragons Fulton through the hole under the post and Lui did not release the shot pass watching it live I was thinking try

 

[Merlot]

i dont think Bellamy respected his role of SOO with much respect

I had Rob Lui turn up at my townhouse unannounced one day before he played grade he was with a friend of my now sister in law. I’ll always remember he thought it was the best place ever ( in reality it was a shit hole) 🤣 he was a decent enough kid back then always hoped he would kick on with us but what happened happened.

I don't know his back ground extensively but pretty sure he comes from middle of nowhere somewhere in Australia.

Would of been a great story, didn't follow him in UK but think he did well for himself over there.

Scum

I honestly never saw the worship around Cam Smith. Spent his while career under Bellyache surrounded by some of the best players in the game (Cronk, Slater, plus all their monster forwards) and Robbie's stats per game consistently beat Smith's.

Longevity and leadership is definitely a factor and I think a healthy dose of media and NRL bias (diamond ring for the missus), but just watching him play for over a decade I would not put him up there with the Immortals. Hall of fame, sure, but Immortal, no way.

If he had played in a team with an average coach and the average players around him, I think he would have still been good but not as lauded as he is. Plus there's plenty of dodgy stuff he's been involved with that his supporters seem to turn a blind eye on. He's like the Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon of the NRL. 😉

Anyway, just wanted to get that off my chest. Rant over.

I heard Wayne Bennett talking about hookers once. He said most first grade coaches want a hooker that can follow instructions and tackle. He named Smith, Cook, Korisau and Manase Fainu as exceptional because a coach could trust them to make their own decisions as to what was in front of them and that is a game changing skill.
I guess the same applies to halfbacks. There's not too many like JT, Cleary, Adam Reynolds, Cooper Cronk. They seem to be able to make stars of the players around them.
If you have a rep quality hooker or halfback, preferably both, you're a long way to winning the comp.
