Luai will get better with every game. It's got to be hard leaving the Panthers style and come to a team rebuilding.

Maybe but I don't think that has been the issue. I think Galvin has been overplaying his hand and Luai hasn't been having enough touches. Galvin makes a lot of mistakes. Luai is just a lot better at taking the right option.

I think Luai can give us that level of performance regularly.

I'm in Thailand celebrating the promotion of a Thai football team to the Premier division again with some huge party by the beach. This win makes me actually excited to be here (Thai football is pretty amateur, but a Tigers win is the best).

It's because they are both predominant left side players that's all.

I think Galvin has been taking way too many late tackle options especially kicking. I though Luai kicked a lot more and we looked heaps better. I thought Galvin was better this game as well.

We came out slow at the start of the 2nd half conceding tries like in the game against Parra, we can't afford to keep doing that especially against the better teams. Still loved the fight in the team.

As I said it takes time to adjust and gel. LG has had his way in pathways and Luai was left at Panthers.
Marshall could play both sides and LG should listen to him.....oh that's right, Benji can't coach.
Well for a disjointed preparation he's going alright imo.
We have a few issues with D. We are leaking too many cheap points.

I liked how Luai just passed the ball tonight... Showing confidence in his outside players. There was the odd jink back inside but he’s doing what he did in origin. just pass the ball and do the fancy moves when they felt right instead of forcing it..Like that kick for Sione omg ..AD’z got a kick in him. That one for his try was elite touch ..

Benji said Staines was the best player on the field. .. I think his ranking just improved to first cab off the rank..it’ll be good to throw some speed into the mix, with grunt and star power from the incumbents..I thought like Bulla,Staines is putting more into his leg drive when meeting the tackler..
