Wests Tigers Sign Luciano Leilua till 2022

[tw33k]

i don't know why some people are saying he needs to get fitter and/or lose weight. his size is a weapon and he's played long minutes with the Dragons already

 

[StarswithStripes]

I feel a new dynamic in our forwards coming for next year. Great signing and some positive tangible news for us.

Luciano Leilua , Welcome to The Mighty WESTS TIGERS.
Good to have you on board.

Great signing, this guy has heaps of talent, could be anything.

On a side note, how crazy are St George letting him so they can bring back an ageing, past his best by date Merrin! I thought only we did stuff like that 😂

I think he was gone and the Merrin signing was to placate the supporters. Don’t think it was a case of them preferring Merrin.

Love all the enthusiasm and positivism this signing has bought..

Oh....happy's still asleep..

 

[BalmainJnr]

Great news for both the club at Lucky Luciano! Dude has size, talent and upside and given Madge’s recent comments Luciano has bought into the mantra of working hard and committed to playing a role in moving the club forward.

Provides great "go forward". something which the club really needs. Hopefully Packer jumps out of his slumber and supports the new boy.

Joey Leilua can be a match winner on his day and now that Canberra have signed Curtiss Scott from the Storm, he might be interested in joining his brother at WT. Madge should be able to sort out any of his occasional indisciplinary issues.

Joey has the smarts of a kg of unskinned sausages. He is sooooo stupid on field. So many dumb mistakes. Please no.
But I’m sure he’s a nice guy?

he's not all that flash to be fair......

I know some on here bag him, but I honestly wouldn't mind if his brother cam across also. He might do some dumb things sometimes, but my God he can be a damaging runner out wide. It might give the brothers a big kick of enthusiasm to actually play together in the same team. Don't know if Joey is looking elsewhere, but with the Raiders signing Scott maybe he is being pushed out? Can't see Croker going anywhere else.

Yeah my post was probably a bit harsh. He would add attacking flair to our team and I could think of worse signings. But I just watch him and think over and over - man that was a dumb play.

Yeah you're probably right, when I think about it there was rumblings of him wanting to leave well before Merrin came into the picture. Of course the media painted it the other way around as St George having to offload Leilua so they could bring their 'favourite son' back home ?

 

[tigerbenji]

Yes Joey does some silly things, but would take him.

 

[Spud_Murphy]


Now that's someone who wants to be here! 😁

 

[gallagher]

That's a good start. He definitely brings a creative aspect to our pack.

Really happy with this signing and the added dimension it creates in our forward pack.

Young bloke obviously has some ball skills but where does everyone think that works best for our side, ball playing second rower or ball playing lock??

 

[earl]

Right edge second rower.

Depends how many minutes he can play, I don’t believe we will have room for a edge forward on the bench, so if he can go the 80 edge for me, if not lock.
