But we have a 4 time premiership winner setting our standards?

At least the Mays are good.

Luai sets out standards guys!!! Hes so good!!!

Luai must have been crook all season then

This is embarrassing. The Titans are basically throwing this game against us lol

Deadset Luai would be getting dropped on serious teams. Also we need to drop Staines. Good grief.

May to May how good. Covered up Luai absolutely butchering a try two plays before.

He's an average first grader at the moment (which is huge for a guy who just turned 20) and barring injury, he'll be a very good player for many years. Trying to discredit him at this point is just sour grapes. We went all in on the wrong player in Luai and will have to live with it sadly.

Samuela was great with Galvin last year, looked good when Latu played on his edge last week and has been far less impactful with Luai.

Parra's in no worse position than we are. Arguably better as they're moving on some of their deadwood and now with Iongi and TDS in their spine, they have two very exciting youngsters to go with Moses who you can argue might be the best 7 in the comp when he's on the pitch.

We need a lock and bench 2nd row/prop type. Our pack isn't that far off really. A lot of it also comes down to the spine getting them organised and helping shape our attack. A good pack is only as good as it's organisers let it be.

Really begs the question why we're extending a guy who's going to become a part time player at the expense of one of the most highly rated juniors at his position.

There's a point in the next year or so where TDS will be a better player than Api and will only be better from that point forward...

The problem is this can make sense for forwards and outside backs. The halves and spine are essentially your system. So when you're paying big bucks to these guys, they should be improving others around them, and at the very least, performing themselves. Koroisau might not have made those...

I guess, especially given there will be two new teams coming in and potentially a new tv deal which will boost the cap. But still, a considerable overpay.

No. I don't think he was any worse this week than the prior games he's played for us. I hated the signing in 2023 and I hate it now. It's a massive overpay for a player who's reputation far exceeds his ability. If we signed him for 3 years on 800k a year, I'd say it was a good signing. But...

They're 2 and 1 with Schneider as the starting halfback this year and went 10-4 with him in the halves last year. Schneider isn't a better player than Luai obviously but they're winning games with him. Again as I said, it's much easier to play to slot into a team and play a caretaker role...

The only other club seriously chasing him if I recall correctly was the Dogs, and they didn't come close to the number we did (their number was closer to Penrith and that's with Gus and Ciraldo who were intimately familiar with him from their time at Penrith). And Cleary is a failure at origin...

Brenko Lee is an origin winner and Momirovski has 3 premierships. So? He's also directly contributed to origin losses, one of the premierships he "won" had a grand final which only went Penrith's way the minute he left the field for Jack Cogger of all people. The Samoa one whatever, they won a...

What's he actually good at? Like seriously? His grubbers are nice and that's it. Put the Brooks of last year on the Panthers instead of Luai and they're still premiers.
