If he wanted to prove himself, go win a first comp for the Titans or Warriors, they are set up for success. It’s why Bradman Best does these ones 🐯👀

I don't think players wanna prove themselves.... You're in a 17 man squad.
Coaches on the other hand, if they feel a need to prove themselves it's much easier for them even though they're part of a team too.
Coached like Bennett Bellamy etc have earnt the right to be able to basically choose where they wanna work... I think most would.elect to go where their best chance at winning another comp is.

Someone said yesterday it was because Luai was at the launch of some sportswear store in Liverpool, and Liverpool is Tiger territory. Makes sense right?

The difference is Moses was never coming in reality. Luai is a bigger chance for sure. But I'm interested to see if Penrith are willing to increase their offer to 3 or more years. If they offer long term I think he'll stay

I don’t think Penrith are the alternative, I’d be looking over Belmore way.

Is it even overs at this point?

He who shall not be named was reported at 1.1m and a mid range bbq per year.

4.4 or even higher for someone with actual ability seems cheap in comparison. I’d throw all the webbers I can get my hands on at the guy.

Now, playing Devils advocate, what happens if Dogs offer $4.8m( let’s say).
Do we get into a gazumping thing or walk away?
And what’s our cut off ?

The nameless one was at a lower salary cap too.
1 Luai = at least 2 nameless ones.
He's a red light special bargain at 1.1 million.

No cut off. Keep going until he’s locked in.

The club needs some wins off the field. Another pre season missing out like on LM, JAC, MM, and now JL is not acceptable.

Time for the clown management to show something. Anything.

i don't think luai is a good fit for bulldogs. They need a proper halfback and prop. Their game plan is completely clueless (not that ours isn't) but I can see Luai doing a lot better here than there. They are a team of individual players on big money (Kikau, Burton, Fox, Mahoney). We have a lot of team players like Bula, Api, Staines, Stef and Pole. We just need an elite half (either Mam, Dearden, or Luai) alongside Sullivan who is a 7. Fainu is very young and can learn in NSW Cup or off the bench. Isaiya Katoa at Dolphins is rated very highly but he's been kind of average so far. If you look at Luai's career, he debuted at 21, played bench when he was 22, and then from 23 years old has been in every grand final since. I don't think we lose Fainu if we sign Luai. He's on good money and I doubt another team risks signing him higher when there are halves like Dearden and Mam also on the market

Yes the advent of emojis has made body language reading a far more difficult task. Cowards hiding behind emojis to post their thoughts has almost wiped out the art of body language reading. I saw an article in last months " The Art of Body Language Reading" journal that nearly 65% of body language readers have left the industry solely from the rise of emojis. Its a disgrace. The fact that you are unable to see the poster of the emoji at the time of posting forces you to assume the mood the poster was in at the time of posting. Unfortunately the art of body language reading has gone from a well established science to nothing more than a guessing game.

Really good points. I am also an avid reader of that journal. Us body language readers just don't get the respect we deserve nowadays.
