Luciano Leilua

[watersider]

I think he's one of those players that's just too dubious defensively to play significant minutes. He's a very good attacking player and can go big minutes, but his defensive reads and enthusiasm in defense is very unreliable. He was fine for us, but our whole team was weak. I think he'll be valuable to the dragons if he goes there. Personally wouldn't want him here, I think the biggest fundamental of playing 2nd row in NRL is being very good defensively.

Should this thread be called released by cowboys.

His uncle was a great player. Terry.

Terry’s bro was a decent bloke, I met him a few times. My uncle knew them both.

Should this thread be called released by cowboys.

Has he been though?

I'm just curious as to how much the Cowboys are willing to chip in, don't they currently have him on somewhere around the $700k mark?

“We thank Luciano for his service to our club and wish him, Dora and their family well in their return home to NSW,” Cowboys General Manager of Football Micheal Luck said.

Crazy how they mentioned his drink driving charge in his release statement. That made me LOL.

I'm surprised they didn't mention his previous charge.

Those charges were dropped...

I wouldn’t mind betting that he got a tap on the shoulder before asking for a release

Yeah, I know but they were obviously trying to stick it to him on his way out so a casual mention of previous charges that were dropped would've been the icing on the shit cake they were serving him.

Sounds like Super League is calling.

Have you been under a rock?

He has signed with the Dragons on big $$$

 

[Leck]

Luciano will be following in his brothers footsteps. Drags have paid massive overs for a headache.

😂 same. Find it's an odd statement from them, very savage.

 

[jadtiger]

Sounds like Super League is calling.

He is supposed to be going to the dragons at 900k per year if you believe the tabloid idiots

The Dragons haven't made an official announcement, but it sounds like it is happening. They are desperate just like we were when we signed Joey and then him.

I can hear Super League calling if he doesn't fire this year and justify the reported $900k contract.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Great player in limited spurts.

Great player in limited spurts.

3 lots of 10-15 minutes is about his limit,he would be very impactful
