Luai, the new JT?

Took me a while to work out what was nagging at me but I got there in the end. Much stronger and with more all-round skills but the footwork is very Thurston c.2004.

At this point the cliche would be, "If he’s half the player Thurston was, he'll go alright" but I reckon he's well past there.

Best 5/8 in the comp...And this come from a loyal Dragons supporter.
Makes our Corey Norman look bog average.

I'm a big Luai fan, but thats a big call with Munster, Keary & Walker running around. He is coming along very nicely though.

I put him above keary and Walker. Munster is a very different play so the comparison is tougher. As for the OP he may well be better JT but it will never be recognised channel 9 really don’t have that love for him.

Keary I probably have ahead of him at this stage. Walker not so much. Walker on his day is a freak, but I'd rather have Jerome because he is more consistent. I do think with Cleary & Luai we have the best halves combo in the comp.

Luai is still a pup too, so in a few years who knows how good he could end up. JT sets a pretty high bar in that regard.

Yep, he has already climbed the same lofty heights as JT. Surprised they haven’t made him an immortal already.

Very good player and developing into a real star, but he's got a long way to go before he's at JT's level.

More importantly this thread is insulting. INSULTING. To the Dally M Jack. And i demand it be removed and all members commenting on this thread, including myself be banned immediately as penance for crimes committed against DMJ

Simple Jack was left out of the discussion as it's obvious he is far above such comparisons.
