Alright so should we just fold the club at the end of his 5 years? The way you guys carry on is insane like no footy club can ever succeed without the almighty Jarone. Roy Asotasi was the famous signing that turned Souths around. When did they win a comp? The year he left. Obviously there were...

If we have a bunch of players leave because Luai leaves they're not very team first are they? A lot of apologists here for an average player who is significantly overpaid. A player our team played just as well, if not better without. Yes he's helped turn us around and contributed greatly off...

Well as much of a disaster as HBG may be, at least they helped us out with that.

This could be an absolute blessing. He is in no way worth anywhere close to what we're paying him on the field. Doueihi and Madden have both been better this year, and obviously we've still got Latu around with a ton of potential. I'd understand if we were paying Luai 600-700k a year, which is...

Leichhardt v Campbelltown isn't a Balmain v Wests debate. Plainly looking at stats, which don't lie, we're a significantly better team there. 17% winning percentage difference over hundreds of games and 25 years isn't a coincidence or fluke. If we were a half-decent side, Leichhardt would be a...

Poor first half, better second half. Nice job on Doueihi's second try to put Fainu through that gap. The other tries down that edge were pretty simple catch, engage and pass stuff for a first grade 5/8th but at least he got it right this week compared to his last couple of games. He's so much...

The metres we've been able to make week in week out is remarkable. Our 5 props and 2 wingers were nothing short of extraordinary today. Laulilii and Tito's quick play the balls set the platform and the big guys do the rest. Exceptional stuff.

Lol these last sets have been hilarious. Just our forwards doing whatever they want.

Ok about time Luai does something but that was special from Fainu

Some low standards for a 1.2m player deary me

Laulilii has come on a long way. He's a good player when he's not dropping the ball.

Luai's having another shocker

Leichhardt has a real atmosphere every time we play there. There's history in the ground there and the players feel it and lift. Campbtelltown ... not so much.

He's probably paying the sponsor

Good to see Starford back. If he's actually healthy, he will go a long way to fixing our offensive woes. Makasini out for Lualii is interesting. Probably for the best he has a week or two off. Oh wow didn't notice Latu being dropped. Not a huge fan of that. He's too talented to not be in the 19.

Where does this stuff about him being a great player come from? It's just not true. He had success playing for a Penrith 2 and 3 wide of the ruck with Yeo and Cleary organising everything in the middle. He had Crichton and To'o outside of him and Kikau on his shoulder. He's benefitted from...

I must have dreamt the past 3 weeks. We flogged two teams in the top 8 and won a tense Easter Monday games. The way some of you blokes carry on is deadset like we got thumped 3 times and Luai is god on earth coming to save us.

Yeah, I think too many people conflate his on-field with his off-field impact. Off the field he's no doubt had an enormous, positive impact. Whether it's from recruitment, to fan engagement, to helping build a positive team culture. I'm less convinced of the winning attitude, given it's become...

He's not even remotely close to being our best player. He's been awful in 2 out of 3 games. We lost to a team missing arguably their 4 best, or 4 of their best 5 players amongst others. We totally dominated field position and our "best" player was pathetic with a platform that most halves would...

He's absolutely not the least of our problems lol. We just won 3 games without him and he's getting paid 1.2m a year. He quite literally is our biggest problem, and by a significant margin.
