It’s pretty amazing. Lussick Not even good enough for reserve grade. Yet he got a contract with us. How the hell Our management saw him as a 1st grader is a reflection of their football experience. Just rubbish
A BA favourite from his previous Eels stint, and a brother-in-law to Gutho probably didn't count against him getting a 2.5year contract despite only being a benchie backup in Super League.

A benchie who plays every week isn’t a backup. Lussick was top 17 over there. In the NRL he is top 30.

Only just top 30. But the coach's thinking that 20min of SUper League per week could translate to an 80min first choice NRL hookers was... faulty at best.

And that Top 30 list is only based on how much we agree to pay merkins - not on their actual quality of performance. On quality Lussick is now just top 34 - and some could argue he's no longer even that.

I can’t remember a second Rower or 3/4 that have been able to do for Parra for a while now.

Not since Marata or Ice..

He is probably worth a shot at centre... HE IS NOT A WINGER FFS!

Move Penisini to the left with Russell on the wing as thats where he will have to go if Lomax comes to play centre...
