First things first, the only acceptable word in describing Chinese meals is succulent

And secondly, yes, he’s trolling. Let’s imagine for a second this 10 day period is in full affect, he’s ours. Gus decides he wants to have one last dip at him (assuming he’s allowed), he’s not gong to publicise it by plastering it all over social media. It wouldn’t be over a succulent Chinese meal at a restaurant either. It would be well behind closed doors.

You had me at succulent

Kristian Woolf has declared Latu Fainu as Luai’s long-term WT halves choice

I completely agree with this. Would be a super pairing in a year or two.

if he was seriously courting JL… he would be absolutely saying nothing…

Lucky the Rugby players who ate each other were Argies and not Chinese. Hungry again fifteen minutes after eating Chinese.

Dude it's the first few weeks of the pre-season. Not even close to the entire season.

Where did I say entire season?

Billy Slater

Part time coach with limited squad members sometimes gets in to show a thing or two doesn't cut it. Completely different to what Benji has been doing for the past year.

brother its a rumours page no need for an apology 🫡

also on the tupou front the deal with the dolphins is 3 year with a 4th as a player option capping out at 575k in the final year

tigers offered 3 year deal worth 300k capping 400 in the final year

the kid could be anything

As we rebuild the Club and the roster, I kinda feel losing a Winger with potential is an ok play if we strengthen another key area.

Mate there is a process in place which is required by the NRL. We have one of the most capable CEOs in rugby league looking after the matter. Instead of worrying about who got the Peking Duck, stay calm and see what eventuates.

Make of this what you will, some bloke on Facebook reckons it’s legit, even doubled down when challenged on it. So is this Luai or someone posing as him who wrote this

Personal experience 😳 what a shock the media and its expert fans have created & hyped up this drama about the signing of my contract. 🤔Now that it’s close to being done I can’t sit here and pretend it hasn’t affected me to a degree.
Imagine being in charge of a group of young men & go on to accomplish great achievements & become apart of the great culture and community for your Club. At some point you can’t keep all of us , but I came to you to tell you I have an opportunity to set myself and my family up for the future but then you turn your back on me and walk off & refuse to speak to me. But before all this you begged me to please stay 🙏 from a manipulative I mean an emotional point of view and now you cowardly sit there and watch all this unfold 🫡 if this was your own child mmmmm once again you are hard done by 🙄 I’m over it 😡 sick of this injustice bullshit. I’ll always be grateful for what you and the club have done for me, gives me an opportunity to give my family a better life I actually wanted your approval and thankyou but you made this bigger than it had to be. Walking out like you did on your previous club I’m not surprised.
If Jesus can love and help a prostitute then I wish you and your family a happy Christmas 🙏🫠

Too many apostrophes to be legit.

While the finishing touches to the Tigers contract – which will make Luai one of the highest-paid players in the game – are being put together by the club and his management, the Bulldogs continue to monitor the situation.

Canterbury have verbally put forth their own five-year deal for Luai. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Panthers had yet to receive formal notice of Luai’s intention to sign with a rival club.

We need reliable players to finish off the plays created by our new halves.
Our 3/4’s are our weakness.

 

[finnzo]

I can’t stand this cooking if period it’s complete rubbish if a club carnt convince there player to resign before they sign with another club it’s there fault

And the fans should at least be informed when a player goes into the 10 day period

In 2023 our halves were

 

[Blocker1963]

It is a concern that we have so many halves on our books for 2025, as Sullivan and Fainu are 4 year contracts. I read that Christian WOLFF has said that FAINU we be the one to partner LUAI if he does come. Then there is GALVIN in the background and the wraps are he will be special, unless he moves to a ball playing lock ? Anyhow, my smokey for the year is Narven WILLETT on the wing, big wraps on him.
