Luciano Leilua

Lucky having a big one tonight. I said it before and I will say it again. He has the potential to be the best forward in our pack.

He plays like Arthur Beetson with extra speed and a step to add!! He always looks dangerous with ball in hand.

 

[Saint52]

Definitely a must in top 17 must be used like tonight

I never saw Arthur Beetson, but heard much about him. I do recall hearing/reading that he was called Half A Game Artie early in his career. He also started his career in the centres. Hopefully Lucky can continue to improve his game like Artie did.

He was good tonight in a poor side.

Haha, I’m looking for something... anything.

 

[Gippsy]

I thought he looked our most dangerous forward tonight. But it looked like he didn't play much in the second half???

 

[Old Timer]

He has had a real dig in attack the last 2 games but if people are going to be honest his defence is still a big liability
Looked great in patches tonight but again it was Maloney he targeted and lots of ball players get success against him.

Last few weeks has been really standing above the senior forwards. Defence not quite there but improving.
One of the few who could hold his head high tonight.

I'd say under a coach like Hasler, Leilua would be one of the most damaging props in the NRL in less than a season of Hasler coaching.

Yes, like last week plays Host for 20 and obviously thought he did a world of bad shit in that 20 minutes by dropping him this week.

Playing with creativity despite the stifling coaching. A really good coaching team could explore the option of moving him to the front row.

Which just goes to show that he should have been receiving more minutes for quite some time. Imagine where he would be now if he had been coming off the bench for a few years consistently and coming into the side when there is an injury.

Yep, and the reason why? He was one of the few players to actually run onto the ball in attack. When do most teams learn that, under 12's?

Luciano is special, he was so creative last night I was almost hoping Nichols didn’t pass the HIA as he looked one of the only players capable of creating anything.
He is not a prop, he needs to be on an edge or a roaming lock playing like a second 5/8. He might be big but he’s not a battering ram, his gifts are his skills and they need to be utilised instead of trying to turn him into Jason Taumololo.

Lucky is a forward. They have to take the ball up as a battering ram and Lucky should be utilising his size. He gets found out on the edge in defence, so the edge isn't for him. Yes he does have sublime ball skills, but he must get stuck in and do the hard yards before looking pretty. I think either lock or prop is his position, but he lacks stamina for the middle workrate.

Lucky has been a work in progress and he is looking better each time, I feel he should het two stints off the bench every game

Last 20 of each half he would be devastating...
