Ridiculously good footballer. Honestly, it's insane how good he is.

used to watch him play for kirwan high before the cowboys games, you could tell he was going to be special even as a teenager. The way he ran, held the ball, stepped, everything was just ridiculous.

Can’t believe the way Neil Henry used him (well didn’t use him? when he coached us, was borderline criminal. I remember one game very early in his FG career he was on the bench, we received a drop out and he came onto the ball like a front rower with zero self preservation and just absolutely cleaned up 2 of the defenders (was either penrith or the tigers) and the crowd erupted. He played absolutely amazingly that game and still got dropped back to the 20’s the next week.

f**king ridiculous. That was the beginning of the end of Henry for mine.

He really is that good and he’s got years ahead of him.

My only fear is how long his body will sustain the work rate.

Look the deal might end up being a bit tough at the very back end. He's going to take a beating, but that's just the price you have to pay to keep one of the best forwards in history at your club.

They said in the preseason he was going to be an edge forward but it wasn’t until he was in the middle third that the cowboys ran away with the game on the weekend.

If he plays there for his whole career, he’ll need a good run with injuries and a strong body to have the same impact in 4-6 years time

He's absolutely that good and the only reason he hasn't been mentioned as such in the media is the borderline anti running forward bias when it comes to measuring greatness.

Every one loves a great playmaker and a silky smooth fullback, but credit where it's due: Lolo is as unique a talent as a Billy Slater or Cameron Smith.

What if the cap doubles or triples by then...?

Some bright LU resident started a thread a few years back about "what a dud" he was.

This was at the ripe old age of 19, mind you.
