If you want your so called generational junior talent to convert into elite NRL players you have to have a couple of top shelve,highly competitive players to show them the way. That’s where Luai will be such an important signing. Penrith did it with Jimmy Maloney when all the kids were coming through.
Iam okay with the price tag, that’s what our mob has to pay being on the bottom of the heap, five years is probably one to many but once again our hands are tied due to a decade of terrible results.
Yeah im in this boat with you, we probably lose at least one of those talents but we get to have a very good look at them in the mean time to assess.
I wasn't overly keen on Luai at first but we do need to land him we need an elite talent to attract and retain some players. If we keep missing these targets we're in for another tough year unless a 2004/05 scenario hits us in the arse again.
