I wonder how those percentages would prevail without Cleary

Cleary has missed quite a bit through injury and they continue to win. Part of that must be attributed to Luai.

We had a spine in Tedesco, Moses, Brooks and Farah. A full spine.

Clearly Cleary never missed the big games. Luai did

We also had a meaningful game at Leichhardt in late August. LOL

Missed the point. But I hear you. If you are happy. Thats the main thing.

Sorry brah no idea what you’re saying. Big love.

Ditto.

Happy that we have competent people in charge of our footy club now and we’ll hear about the signings when they happen, or when the manager leaks the news. In this scenario can only hope it’s more good news. Go the Wests Tiges! 🦅 🐯

it seems to be a cheap shot at Luai that he's reliant on other players but real rugby league observers notice that Luai is helping other players be their best by not getting in the way rather than relying on them

I’m a bit surprised Penrith aren’t doing more to keep him but my guess is they hope Jett Cleary comes through into that role and they have some serious money tied into that family.

He is the perfect foil for the steady halfback in Nathan. He plays eyes up footy while Nathan plays the composer role. When Nathan is out he’s shown an ability to step into the organisational role which is why I’m so keen on the signing. He gives me Benji vibes in that he has the skills and attitude to play 7 or 6.

Benji was never a 7.

Never a decent 7

I disagree. When he lost his speed he developed an ability to control a game and play a much more composed style. He didn’t have the troops around him to parlay that into much success but he played some excellent footy late in his career. A guy like Wayne Bennett saw the potential in him.

If you want to say he wasn’t a 7 early in his career I can agree with that. He was just all out attack at that point.

I don’t think he performed at a consistently high level most games that a good 7 should.

Could still kick it dead on the third.

He was never a game manager. Never had the attributes of a Cronk or a Thurston. He was an attacking machine who regressed ridiculously from 2012 onwards.

He was a bit part player for Souths and Brisbane but had several man of the match performances playing the organisational role. Also played well next to Widdop at Dragons. Saying he was never a 7 I can’t agree with sorry.

Disagree.

Sure, he wasn’t an immortal but that wasn’t the original point.

P.S. May have won test matches verse those guys playing in 7 if I’m not mistaken.

Can not believe people would be upset getting Luai the main question should be does he improve the team and the answer is yes he does

Idk who’s still saying that. As time has gone on, it’s pretty much unanimous.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

The clubs only had one top notch 7.......Scott Prince.

I hope Luai stays a 6 while Sezer organises at 7 till one of the young guys are ready.
