Too much investment in halves? Or is it ok?

Luai $1.1 - 1.2m
Fainu $500k
Sullivan $400k - 500k
Sezer $350k?
Galvin $200 - 250k

My educated guesses only; might be way off....

The club has certainly fixed its problems in the halves.

If he came and think it's a big IF
1. Bula
6. Laui
7. Sullivan
9. Api

Fainu is 18 so can replace either of them we need too when he is good enough but won't hurt him to learn his craft for a couple of years. Think Galvin will be a backrower in nrl as his body develops

Massive signing, if it actually gets done.

As I said in the other thread, I don't like Luai at all.... but I'm sure he will win many over when he starts winning us games.

If this is legit, huge credit to Benji.

Great photo. Is that Payne Haas, Deine Mariner and Katoni Staggs on the far left?

Wow, Laui tf lol ...

Why are we being complacent with typos

Better get used to "Laui" from now on, thread will be around for a while

Reminds me of Substitute Teacher when the dude can't pronounce anyones names correctly 😂

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Exactly. Especially when he signs on the dotted line.... Has to be official spelling.. Otherwise contract Void and Null. Great post. TF.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Hang on. I think you're onto something.

Every good team needs a player that people love to hate. Luai would be a great get but it's hard given our recent history to believe that we have a chance of jagging him.

I can see a world where Bud Sullivan owns the 7 jersey and Luai plays 6. Which gives Fainu a bit more time to develop, and Sezer is only used as an experienced head who covers for injury when required.
That makes us look much stronger for the next couple years.
Not worried about "blocking pathways" for guys like Galvin and Large.
More worried about us being in a position where we need a teenager to be a great white hope.

Competition for playing spots is good for the club.

I agree but I'd like there to be more competition in the outside backs.

1- Bula
6- Luai
7- Fainu
9 -Api

14- Sullivan

Would be really pleasing!

I see Luai playing 7 for us like he did with Samoa at the WC

Include me in the love to hate group I think he's a grub and will only upset Galvin etc coming through

You'd have to play him at 7.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

For that money. Running first out of the tunnel.

Love that skit. The other brilliant one is "married to Neil Degrasse Tyson".

Luai will be perfect for 3 years. I'm not sure how long we are aiming for, but 3 years would mean Latu and Galvin have time to develop slower.
