What’s four wooden spoons in a row worth?

Personally think it was a great signing.

Players are human. Doesn't matter how tight a group is, if there is a player that has abandoned ship, getting paid much more than anyone else, and is playing poorly, that has a really bad effect through the team. Whispers start, looks across the room start, little shakes of the head when the said player speaks up...players stop listening, stop taking him seriously because he isnt part of the team anymore, he is a stop gap getting paid way too much. Resentment is only natural. Luai has derailed our season much worse than Galvin ever did due to his standing at the club. He will forever live in the same class as Moses and Galvin for me.

Mercenary ---- comes to mind,
Time to plan life without him. ASAP.

It was a good signing---that has served its purpose.
Plenty of notice all round to move to plan B
ie Life without Luai starts now.

I disagree. Changing the culture doesn't mean much if you don't have success on the field. It's not sustainable you need success early. That's what he was brought here for.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Fwiw, i don’t think he’ll be any better on the field at PNG. He’s just about the money now.

Exactly, but he can blame the others around him and get away with it because he has 4 premiership wins.
It must be the others. God is great!

6 total wins (pre Luai) to 9 wins to ~12 wins this season hopefully.

The proof is in the pudding, not in one terrible Sunday.

Terrible Sunday? We have been smashed in 4 of our past 5 games.

You can count on one hand the number of good games Luai has had for the tigers. He is not worth anything close to $1.2M.

Still a team sport last time I checked.

Yes it is, but your $1M+ players need to win games for you. He hasn't won one game for us.

Are u guys high !
Both Gutherson and Holmes imo not even remotely what we need , both early 30s.
Not for me !

That’s emotional rubbish.

I don't smoke pot anymore, but we were referring to the biggest dud signings, not who we should sign !

Ok, got it now, read the full thread HB !
Then I agree with you.

I dunno about Dylan Brown, he’s gone up quite a few levels in form since joining the Knights. Maybe not $1.3M worth yet, but they are certainly getting more out of him than we are Luai.

who takes his place ?

 

[SeanT]

Defence, attack and leadership have been sub par. Even for a 700k player let alone 1.2.million.

He needs to own up to it and do better or he should accept being dropped.

Knights 2026 backline impressive, Ponga, Best, Sharpe, Marjou, Young, Brown, Smith.
Helps to have quality players around you, and Luai certainly doesn’t have that.i think that’s a big part of the problem.
