A very classy way to say he stoked Hook is gone. Well played young man
Absolutely. Another nail in the coffin for Hook. That one would have hurt.

It will seriously restrict the clubs abillty to put the right type of 5/8 next to him.
Have some good oil that the contract value is averaged out at over $1m per season, so you can put me down as disappointed in this deal. That’s way too much money for someone who isn’t particularly a good playmaker.

We already have him, Luai.
I agree that right now its too much, but if Nathan can improve and with the increasing cap it could turn into a very good deal for us, all depends on Nath.
But either way Luai is the man to partner him, next season if I had my way.
If Luai turns out to be as good as we hope, hell as good as we need, then he’s going to cost a lot of money too.
And I doubt Nathan will improve his playmaking much. Football vision is something you either have or you don’t, to me he lacks that X factor.
His kicking game can improve a lot, as well as his decision making. His running game, he can make improvements. Give him some proper options and he will look better. I think he lacks the x factor as well but that doesn’t mean he can’t get better.
We manage our cap well so I’m not worried about losing Luai as long as this is Jimmy’s last season here.
Read the interview with Chammas...
Of course he can improve at where he’s shown ability, but that won’t make him a superstar.
Where we *need* him to improve the most is vision/playmaking.
As you say though we could easily lose Luai if we can’t move Maloney on after 2019. Better hope Maloney doesn’t get any bad injuries. Luai is almost 22, he’s not going to stick around forever.
He's not that good no need to be so jelly.I bet you turn up there tonight
There’s NO clauseI can't see anything about a clause.

He played a lot more of what’s in front of him in the 20’s under CiraldoHis vision and ball playing aren't going to improve. He can be superstar depending on how much those other areas improve. Its really hard to get a bead on him, we've only seen him play in Hooks boring and restrictive system, he looked caught in two minds all season until the second Canberra game. I think once he is playing in a system he likes and understands he will be a lot more confident and decisive footballer.
Earlier this year Bellamy was comparing him to Cam Smith and saying he is the best halfback prospect he has seen in a decade, I don't see that but he obviously has some things going for him for Bellamy to say that.

I think he’ll be a lot better next year without hooks 5 hit ups and bomb game plan
As Gus said he is only 20, Thurston at the same age was let go by the dogs in favour of Sherwin and Cooper Cronk was coming off the bench as a mr fixit for the storm
Dont judge them all off the trackhead trolling in here. Most arent nearly as bad.I 'adore' how West Tigers turn like a snake when one of their players leave, or miss out on a signing. I've never seen the like before. Talk about 2 faced. These lot have 50 faces each. I'm sure some must spend time throughout the year having to seriously delete. Some of the love shown to Nathan when they believed he was going to sign with them. To now,
Comedy every day of the week.
