He went okay will get better.

I am curious on your thoughts with Luai and the money he is on.

Assuming you are generous and asking in good faith...

I think the way Luai is playing this year, he is worth around $800K to the Tigers and he is obviously getting way over that.

However after the last 10 seasons and the terrible culture and mentality that has seeped into the club, if there was a "consultant" that was available that could turn around the mentality and culture within the club and provide the leadership that he has, then $600K for that service would be a bargain and for that reason we are definitely getting value from him. Needs to improve over next few years though.

I thought the Tigers looked slicker last week with Fainu & Douiehi in the halves.

Fainu & Luai are our future. Douiehi has good moments but has a terrible passing game, is a hog and has no footy IQ. Luai's short kicking game is sublime but long kicking is not great.

Warriors pack just monstered us. Noone is looking good yesterday.

Could be a bit of Origin fatigue but i saw him yesterday and he was missing 1 on 1 tackles very easily i thought his defence was horrible yesterday.

I think a few judges think the Tigers may be better off if he doesn't take up that option to extend with the $$$ he is on.

nope. he is part of the future.

Galvin has more TA & LBA and hasnt played at the Tigers in 2 months.

Meh....I am MUCH happier with Latu already. Galvin did nothing for us this year. Both of us dodged a bullet by not getting Galvin.

The rest of the NRL disgusts me. They're all the beneficiaries of an elite refereeing standard not granted us

I've noticed this for some time. The top clubs, Storm, Roosters & Broncos in particular, seem to get preferable treatment from the refs particularly in the time they allow players holding down in the ruck. Those 3 teams get extra allowances not afforded other teams.

Yep, it's not "the rest of the NRL" as Parrapat claims, as though we're the worst/unluckiest club in the comp.

Next 3 weeks is about limiting the damage.

Moses back wont be netting us a win.

He will keep us competitive

But we just need him on the park for spark, direction on the park, cohesion and properly see what direction the club is going.

Having no Moses has us in the wilderness atm trying to rebuild without your most important player its impossible to truly judge where we are at.

We dont look like a complete rabble but were not looking like were getting any closer to being competitive with the top 6 sides either.

And if he does come back i would like to sent another reminder/thanks to NSW & Laurie Daley for screwing him over at camp 6 weeks ago.

Laurie you and your S&C got what they deserved last week.
