I think, much like Simona, he's getting overshadowed with all the ball going down Moses' side (and rightly so) meaning he's trying to make bigger plays with the fewer opportunities that he does get (much like Moses did last year before asking for a bigger share). His short kicking game is generally good, though I'd like to see him work on forcing repeat sets more and earning us control of the game, but I thought he took the line on well a few times tonight and with a bloke like Tedesco on your team it'd be hard not to want to go to him as often as possible.
I don't understand his defence at all though. When he's on he has great technique and can certainly sit down much bigger blokes, but he has some horrible misses in him too (someone else made a Benji comparison, at least Luke has some good shots too).
No, he's not worth the sums being thrown around, but he's 21 and learning how to pilot an NRL team surrounded by his mates (which I think might be detrimental to his development but that's a whole different story). I don't mind us taking a chance on him because he's proven himself in our pathways through the lower grades, we don't have an obvious replacement and there's a pretty sizable ceiling on him, I just hope the club is smart/realistic enough in our next offer to him.
