His two year tenure will be another unfortunate chapter in the clubs history…

I’ll say though that a lot of people defended his form until he decided to pull the pin…he was always the same player here over the two years …one good game out of 8,,,

Agreed.
Some people saw it from that first game v Newcastle in 25 but most didn’t until he went to PNG.
He had a lot of people inside this club and out completely fooled.

Haha I just posted the same thing in the coach benji thread 😂😂

He was here less than 12 months and the club self imploded. Really cant blame him for taking a better option.

Obviously, I agree on that, as it all starts at the top.

Whilst likely due to their legal agreements we will never truly know, I think it fair to say that WT would probably be playing finals next weekend had the disasterous HBG actions not occurred and pretty well everyone here being a lot less worried about paying Luai too much. Even the plentiful amount that never liked him for whatever reason.

I am still [This word has been automatically removed]ing dirty on those bastards for ruining our off-season and likely our raging 2026 finals dreams, now for the 15th year in a row.

Yeah I remember thinking in the first half of season 2025 when was the magic was going to happen. There were glimpses but I don’t think we ever got what was on the label.

He was a permanent fixture in a key position in the best team of the modern era of course Benji is going to play him - he was always the best option despite form. It was also the right decision to move him on next season.
We are always a couple of injuries away from being exposed and we were smashed this year rarely went two weeks in a row with the same squad available.
We call ourselves a development club and have rarely developed and or retained more than a couple of decent first graders in years.
There in lies the problem for any coach that comes to this club and the players that come from other systems who have never experienced what a 15 year rebuild is like, are not going to come without an inflated pay check.

I don’t have the same hatred for Luai as a lot of others. Came to the wooden spooners prove himself when guys like Cooper Cronk would never consider challenging himself at a lower club.

He wasn’t able to be Batman, but he gave it a crack. Today showed we don’t need him and by leaving we are saved from a salary cap mess.

I’m glad he’s leaving but no hard feelings from me.

I feel the same way until he left for png it’s seemed like his care factor went away a lot over that time and when he had in injury early and we won all those games without him

I’m saying that him bullying Galvin was not the story. The story was Galvin was a spoiled brat. But now Luai is a villain, it’s not a surprise that history is being re-written.

Nah Galvin was a dick, the club pandered to him and his family and he still walked.

The smartarse comments on socials could have probably been done without though, gave the Galvins a bullying narrative to run with, and now that Luai is on his way out too, it's aged like milk.
