He was a 5/8 on the other side of the feild.
They wouldn't even let him feed the scrum in the Roosters semi FFS

Thanks. Could have sworn in that U19’s SOO game last year Latu was playing right. Must have been thinking of someone else.
Latu did play on the right in that game.
Ethan Sanders (the NSW halfback that night) is a predominantly left-sided player too.

2010/11?.. Robert Lui the dominant half?
Please 🙄

When Benji played with halfbacks his game went to another level.
When he was running the show he struggled.

Agreed. His best years were 05, 09-11. The only years he had a legit 7 alongside him.

Did Benji run the show or was he freed up to capitalise?
So now Tim Moltzen (09) a Legit 7 as well?
😂😂😂
Lui played 5/8 his whole career to NRL... And mostly 5/8 for the 10 years after he left....
This insinuation he was a legit 7 because of a couple years here in NRL is kidding....

I just rewatched round 18 riff vs storm. Cogger was doing most of the kicking? Any other games where JL is the dominant half/kicking team into position?
I'm assuming this is going to be his role with us.

Nothing to do with Brooks... Someone else mentioned him.
I think you're highly exaggerating about Luai, who treats him like the worst player? (please don't say people on social media)
He's doing OK regardless and he's admitted he loves to prove people wrong
Pooper isn’t a fan. Has someone checked he still has a heart beat?
Be worthwhile to check on Blocker too while we’re at it.

100% Robbie and Benji would’ve been calling the shots over Robert Lui.
You said dominant half. 1st receiver or a jersey with 7 on it doesn’t mean that.

People I talk to, the media, and obviously social media (not that it matters). Obviously the only opinions that matter to luai are his family, club and people he looks up to, but as you said he would use any motivation to better himself as a player and person

At storm kicking wise it's about 70-30. Touches-wise between hughes and munster is 60-40. At Souths cody has a more dominant role especially linking up with Murray. Kicking wise it's probably around 55-45

Shaun Johnson is an example of what people thought Benji was like as a halfback, but in reality he struggled for most of it
I love reading how Lui was the 'dominant' half in those 2 years...
he was 3rd string to the Marshall and Farah show!!
Literally everyone back then knew that Benji played in the 6 jersey and Lui in the 7 ... but they played like the opposite.
Lui kicked and did the basics.
Benji & Farah show, for sure.

They definitely didn’t do the basics. Hence why we lost the final to the Warriors.

Lui ran the team. B & R over ruled him a lot and created opportunities but he did the set by set running of the side.
As soon as he was flicked and they tried to do what he was doing, they fell into a shithole of despair that they could never get us back out of.
Tucker

Yes, this is a good example.
They took over from Lui late in that game and cooked it because they were reactionary freaks rather than game managers. That game should have been shut down. It wasn’t because the B&R show took over from the real game manager and stuffed it up going for glory. This allowed the Warriors the chance for a Hail Mary and it worked.
Bloody Ivan got another one over us…
