No. He played 5/8 vs the St George Illawarra Dragons in Wollongong this afternoon. However, he's been playing 7 superbly for the past 2 months.
Have you not watched nrl for the last few months?, was arguably a top 4 half during his fill in and was moved back to five eighth to accommodate for probably the best 7 since John’s

That’s the current plan, however, he’s not coming to an origin like team and after a few games Benji may need to find a way to give him more space and time? I’m very much looking forward to seeing how Luai changes the team dynamics. Our pack currently don’t look after our 7 like the Panthers pack does, and Luai will demand that.

I wish I could see Luai as the 2nd coming of JC, really do but I’ve seen it all before, we get a promise of things to come and it never works out the way we planned.
Panthers won a GF in 2020, so we think it’s a good idea to bolster our lagging leadership stocks by recruiting their captain on a solid contract. Expectations were at an all time high at Tiger town, then he wins a spoon in 2022.

Luai will be captain next season and it’s not even a close call.
It all starts in preseason and IMO When Laui turns up.
If he waits until he is required to then I am concerned but I am confident he will do a Stephen C and start early to see the standard.
We WILL have some better players here plus more games for the youngest under their belt. BUT we need to be much fitter as a team to handle the bad calls and stay in games.

If he even comes! Geez he must be having second thoughts. No amount of money is worth coming to this garbage club.

least he has Api and Turuva with him
That’s all well and good, but we have no forwards!

a different issue to him even coming at all
Not really, he can’t turn this ship around on his own.

Lot of pressure on the guy …hope others can whip the team into shape in his absence

That's all good though. Critta played for samoa last year after NRL season finished and still arrived early for Dogs training. Most of the main key players for NRL teams don't arrive until the 3rd week of November and even as late as December. The young guys are the ones who usually start early November
