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.



I agree. I think Jimmy will be happy to ride off into the sunset after 2019 season.

Hi Guys, been watching this kid for some time as he is the son of a mate of mine and I reckon he is a very good addition for you. We were hoping he would stay but I think he knew there were some long contracts in his position in front of him so held off. He played centre for Dragons and State of Origin 20's and is a strong "back rower" kind of centre ie not flashy but will work all day out of the back third and eats metres. I think averaged over 130 a game and 50 plus post contact so works hard. I wish him all the best. I will be watching with interest for my mate now at the panthers.

Cheers for the info mate! Hopefully he kicks on and has an great career! The Dragons produce great kids, so I’m sure he’ll do well.

I can't remember who it was that asked what is the type of player we like... Summed up right here. Just once I would love a speedy centre with footwork. Instead of the big one that probably gets moved to the backrow at some stage

Yeah because Waqa, Whare and Peachey all fit that mold don’t they? lol literally none of our centres are big slow backrower types.

Waqa is the mould we should be going for. Whare was signed as a fullback and is slow. Peachey has gone as does anyone with some type of skill.

Whare isn't James Robert's fast, but he's not slow either. That try he scored against the Titans was all speed and footwork.

If he gets a clean run with injuries (big if, the guy isn't that sturdy) I think we'll see the player Franklin's talking about.
