Benji has sold a dream to these players. I'm ready to go all-in the message to the opposition will be don't take us lightly we'll pounce.

Don’t fool yourself. It’s all Luai.

 

[upthetigers]

No he has not. It’s all Luai.

Luai is part of that dream a big part of it. His results speak for themselves without Cleary he took control of the team.

Don’t fool yourself. It’s all Luai.

Who got Luai over the line,it wasn;tfulton pascoe etc

It was 1.2 million dollars a year.

Who brought Luai in again?

1.2 million dollars bought Luai. You think he was going to turn down that sort of money after multiple premierships?

Cheap really for a player of his calibre,and how the cap is always on the increase

It wasn’t cheap at the time. He was still very much in Cleary’s shadow. It was only this year when the chin spent most of the year out, and Luai lead them and they didn’t miss a beat that his stock finally rose.

We still landed his signature over the dogs. Benji can relate to these players unlike other coaches.

The Dogs weren’t offering him anywhere near the money we were.

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

That's false. They offered the same amount of money as us but he saw WT's as more of a challenge & felt like he would've been too comfortable at the Dogs with Gus, Ciro, Critta, Burto, Kikau & Salmon all being there

Lol BS they did.

You can go back 10 years and the powers that be said he was better than Chin,good to see him in the spot light here anyway,at that,any cost

I know you have an agenda against Marshall but don't let facts get in the way of that.

Is that supposed to be a gotcha? Are you expecting some sort of denial here? I have a massive agenda against someone who is totally unqualified to be a first grade coach. Someone who served no apprenticeship and has showed no signs since he got the job that he’s capable of doing it.

You're allowed to think what you think but it's clear there's a bias getting in the way of the truth.

You don’t think our club was in a position where it needed to offer a player like Luai considerably more? You really think we bought him at his market value? 😅

I know Wests & Dogs offered the same & he chose us that's what I know.

His manager said as much in the press conference that the money was close to the same
