Six Million Dollar Man

Attitude wise I kinda get it.. Imagine breaking up with your girlfriend but saying "hey we will stay together for the next 6 months!" You both are now in Akward hell.

I suspect Penrith a burned out. I mean what are they playing for now? 4 Premierships? They have been running hard for so long.... Cleary needs to manage this cautiously and he has either told the team to take a break OR he is burning out his team and hasn't realised.
I agree and that’s the hope that’s he’s simply no longer motivated while at the Panthers, but will be highly motivated once he commences the new challenge of playing for Wests Tigers.
 
Looks promising he was overweight, didn’t want the ball, when it did come to him he preferred to shovel it off to Cleary rather than take on any responsibility himself, last play options were atrocious and some bad misses in defence.
We can only hope something is still going down, he doesn’t want to be there and that’s what is the reason why he was so lacklustre.

He ran the ball 24 times (doesnt sound like shovelling it off)and missed 2 tackles, Cleary missed 5
 
The guy hasn’t played in 6 months, 7 if you are looking at him in reasonable health, and upon his first game back, people are judging his contract value for next year?
If he did his shoulder again, there would be some merit, but missing a bit of timing and being a tad gun shy? It’s game 1 FFS….

Agreed he will obviously improve a lot over the next few games.
Big game for the Panthers this weekend against the Eels, will be very interesting to see how much he improves from round 1.
 
I didn't see the game

But wasn't it Luai's 1st game back since the grand final?

And doesn't the chin run the team?

Why are we so concerned than?

Apparently Luai a great all round leader both on and off the field and even Api who we all love begged him to sign with us

So what is the concern?

I think Luai will prove to be an amazing signing

Stop fretting guys
 
Agree M but I was trying to watch him in isolation and picture how he might fit in our set up( and will continue to do so).
It’s early days but I’m hoping to see him take control a bit more coz that’s what you pay the really big money for.
I hope he can develop that and prove Ivan wrong.
It's Ivan the terrible and the Chins team

They won't let Luai get any glory there in his last year
