Doubt it.

If the tigers let him go to another club , we are not serious about playing finals , it’s one spot that we just need to strengthen

Yeah I’m not a fan, but he plays lock. At the right contract price and short term 2 year max, then he could be handy.
We need an NRL run on 10 and 13 asap.

Not a big fan of Elliot at lock. I would be ok with him in the front row rotation though

I have said this many times , luai is not a 1/2 back , he is a runner , he creates his own space , he needs a 1/2 back who can direct the team around the park , and the one piece of the puzzle we are missing is a ball playing lock , that’s what Penrith have , and that we need , NOW

That’s why imo Benji will start with AD, coz he gives the team direction. The other guy will be 14.

100% All the talk was abt he was going to step out of Clearys shadow and run his own team and demanded the dollars for it. Im a fan of Luai and most people will call it negativity but he did not play any where near as i expected espiecially on last plays. No doubt hes been a major difference off field and culture but we are again talking abt having a player to lead us around a year later after spending over 1.2mil on that very thing. He needs to improve regardless whos playing half and i think this year settled at 6 he will have a better season, well im hoping even though i do believe its a lot of money for a number 6 that does very little leading the team around like a Moses.

There wasn’t a lot of info around Luai’s signing due to the clandestine nature surrounding meetings etc. it’s not clear to me who was pushing the 7 ? Was it Luai? Or Benji/Richo? Either way, the narrative was great for building fan expectations and excitement.

Tbf Luai has worn 7 or 6 depending on what the team needs. If Latu can become that organising 7 than im fairly certain Luai will happily ply his trade at 6. I love AD however I still dont think he can be a consistent 7.
