Our soon to be highest paid player in the NRL is Luai
.... unless Panthers can lift their offer considerably which seems very unlikely

Durable. Winner. Origin player. We simply have to be in the race when these guys are on the market. Fat chance though…

Maybe I'm over rating Blore but I think he will quicky overtake Utoikamanu and has the potential to become not just the best forward in our team but one of the better forwards in the game.
A Blore - Olam swap would be beneficial for next season, but it still wouldn't get us competing for finals. I don't see the swap possibly being beneficial beyond next season.

Still a chance??

I reckon Fulton will be watching the Storm space intently. Too many top 13 quality outside backs, surely something has to give. Unless a club is prepared to take the Olam contract (ends after '26), I think we should go after Nick Meaney or Reimis Smith for a centre spot (as they go on open market on Nov 1). No world beaters but solid, experienced players with speed & good D plus Meaney can goal kick.

Why is everyone so against AD?
I know he’s not brilliant but i like him.
At least see how he comes back from his injury

My issue with Doueihi is that his actions don't match his talk. He talks about wanting to be a leader/captain and how much he loves the club and some the biggest flaws in his game are around defence and effort areas and playing selfish footy in attack.
Then he is hyped in the media/social media as our sides best player based on his highlights real with little consideration to all the shortcomings I his game.
I think he has a decent skill set and there is a quality player in Doueihi if he can learn to be a team first player.

No idea but I sincerely hope not.

You finally got the mail from your mate???

He cracked, took a while

This is good mail if true.

Wait…Have I just been trolled? 😆

It's as real a rumour as I have ever had given to me,
Seems unlikely anything can stop it so we'll all need to learn to love Luai
Wests Tigers and time spent in the huddle under the goal posts should humble him a touch so I'd say the arrogance will come down several notches

Let's see how long it takes The Mole v Chammas (SMH) x Read/Caryannis (DT) to report this. Winner gets a free lunch with Lee & Justin 😉

Luai would be for '25 when Sezer has retired. Fainu & Sullivan to fight out the other halves spot.

What about Galvin and Large, I would not be chasing Luai

Maybe having Api there doesn’t hurt either. Fingers crossed. Need a big scalp.

the guy doesnt even have a manager yet and can not talk turkey until 1 november. seems premature to me. personally hope we give him a wide berth.

Chammas reported it weeks ago. Im guessing that is where it started

Can talk to whoever he wants whenever he wants, has also been permission to shop by Pamfers.

Anyone heard anything on a Douehi to Panthers rumour?

No but it does sound good

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Luai has deadset been carried in that team. Owes his career to the Cleary’s. Burton was/is a superior player.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

What about Galvin and Large, I would not be chasing Luai

Galvin will probably go the other way and be part of the dynasty, thats how we roll.
Seems inevitable he'll move on at some point with Moses being his manager, Large is still only 15 or 16 so plenty of time for him to dislodge one of the other if he that good.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

I think adding him and Suli would really sharpen our backline.

Suli will go well being around his friends and with Benji showing belief in him, he'll be a different player.

We'd probably have to pay 50%. If he is still ambitious & we say he is unlikely to play NRL, who knows!!! We can only hope.

Happy with 50%. Free up a top 30 spot!
