Luai is a left foot kicker; though he did put in a decent grubber for a try from his right vs the sharks.

Luai has a great attitude. It might take a couple of years he could potentially have a similar effect on the Tigers as Crichton did for Dogs.
He'll be great for Api and Galvin too - it won't all fall on their shoulders. Poor Api was busted by the end of last year from trying to the keep team up, and Galvin ended up trying too hard and making mistakes.

I think it starts in pre-season. You miss an assignment at training, you all pay a price. Everyone understands that.
It could be a weighted sled exercise that everyone hates for instance, and if someone stuffs up, everyone hits the sleds.
A light jibe soon turns into a gentle spray and later a full on spray. It’s orchestrated and engrained into your culture. It’s happened in training, so nobody is shocked by it. It’s keeping everyone accountable.
It’s all in the preparation.

Speaking of which have you seen the Penrith pre season activities culminating in climbing up the side of the grandstand at PP. Fascinating watch.

My only concern is him suffering an injury, particularly a serious one, as WT need him on the training paddock from day one next year.

Luai is the accomplished player and should get first choice.

Api is a 60 minute player nowadays, particularly so in a side that he needs to somewhat carry and also be the main goal kicker.

Big pre-season for TDS.

Yeah...but the culture today is to ignore your shortcomings and call it bullying. The heroes aren't the ones that perform, but the ones that have been "brave" to call out a so called bully. Problem is the "brave" ones will never get any better because they can't cop when people wont put up with bad performances.
Successful people don't cry when they get a spray. They self reflect and get better.
Too many weak minds around.
Good on Alamoti for taking it on board and getting better.

I think you only have to watch Craig Bellamy in the coaches box to understand that some cultures haven’t yet been overtaken by the wokies.

Absolutely. I don’t think Luai spraying anyone on the field is unusual, because it happens all week 😂

Api was busted because we have used him incorrectly the whole time he has been here. Totally over played.
Lachie made a lot of mistakes because he was 18 and thoroughly unprepared to play full time NRL in such a pivotal position. Our pathways failed him.
Both will be better next year if our coaching improves.

This is the right opinion. I don't wanna hear no other garbage...
Both aren't perfect players, but thats not completely there fault, its the fault of our franchise being so mismanaged

True but he’s a natural left foot kicker so my feeling is him to left and Galvin right.
The poor bugger when he plays with us will be so dry after spraying the players he won't even be able to spit.

He’s been pre warned to bring plenty of Gatorade.
