Luai the tigepie.

Cleary wouldn't of played enough games to get on that list. Neither would of Schneider, Because Cole was preferred early on

It is an average per kick. Games played has nothing to do with it.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Penrith fans are arguing that their 5/8 is going to be a shit halfback next year in an opposition forum two days before a grand final, says all you need to know

 

[Vic Mackey]

No mate, good on him for cashing in. He’s done it all at the Panthers, now all he needs is a spoon for his collection to be complete.

I'll bet you $1,000 we don't win the spoon next year. Loser has to donate the money to the winners Charity/Junior Club of choice and post the receipt in here. We on?

 

[Tigerm]

At the end of day, it matters little of what he’s done to date.

What matters to WT’s is, what he is going to do in the future.

How will Benji use his strengths in combination with Galvin, will be the question.

I think we’ve got a bargain since we signed him, he’d be worth a lot more to most clubs.

We won’t win the comp, but we won’t win the spoon either, top 8 beckons, but top 10 will do, for the first season, as I still think we a FR short.

 

[Clarkent]

Can Galvin kick?

Even when Luai has played 7 aside from a handful of games he has shared the kicking and organising with Schneider.

He played well in Origin but again Moses did all of the kicking,

He has never kicked a FG or 40/20 for perspective. So I am not sure how many sides would run him at 7 not 6.

He did kick one 40/20 this season, even the commentator sounded shocked that he did lol

 

[Nutz]

I like Bula, however I don’t think his ceiling is that high. Like I can’t ever see him being a top 5 fullback. I also think a lot of his attributes would be just as handy at centre/wing.

Turuva is probably a bit more explosive and has shown in his small chances at fullback he has a surprisingly decent passing game. How he goes in the defensive/cleaning up at fullback which Bula is so good at would be the test.

Your not worried about Turuva's knee Vic? Noone seems to know or have an opinion on it???

 

[Clarkent]

Luai has a very solid mid field kicking game from halfway to the try line. He's always pinpoint with that kick and his short kicking game is very elite. I don't think he has a full field kicking game tho like Moses, Burton or Cleary. I mean who else does with those guys?? Galvin has the playmaking skills to be a halfback too so don't be surprised if Galvin is halfback and Luai is 6. What Luai brings to the Tigers is unpredictability on attack, most idiots raves about his running sideway and side stepping but what he's really creating is the defensive lines attention towards him and creating an overlap out wide. Luai was also part of the leadership group in Origin which goes to show how much he's matured as a person and as a player. I can't wait to see Luai lead a team on his own next season. So I'll definitely be watching every Tigers game. Hopefully he wins the grand final this week and leads samoa to a upset win against England

It looked alright last week

It's braced and I can tell he's favouring it. You don't wear one for nothing. He's going alright though but it's still concerning.

Guys, just want to say, grab the Sunday Tele today and read what Luai’s team mates have to say about him.

Toughness, competitiveness, inspiring.

Penrith team mates have been enjoying that for years, nothing new. Maybe new for your team.

I didn’t say it would necessarily happen next year, he has 5 years to get it.

I have always been a fan Black Panther, just directing Tiger fans and readers to it.

Good luck today mate.

Galvin actually has a big boot on his 5 tackle option and has kicked grubbers in goal well but only when he's had to.
I haven't seen him kick a 40/20 nor field goals. He may have in pathways.
I'm sure Galvin and Luai will work on this during preseason.
Good luck today Penny Panthers. More like gold sovereigns now.

If you aren’t going to back up your dumb precious comments with a bit of spine, then take them to the losers corner for 5 minutes along with your team this avo …
Your “oh I can’t stand when you guys say this about that” need to prove yourself to the spooners tells me your imitation know all ness would evaporate dealing with even small everyday stressors with no team to hide behind

 

[Clarkent]

Laui creating almost everything in that first half. Even the last try when he saw the storm attack lacking out wide. He creates that unpredictability on attack when the panthers system ain't working

 

[Vic Mackey]

All shit aside it’s absolutely insane that the worst team in decades has signed a guy like Jarome Luai. I wouldn’t care if we paid him $2m a year, I’m in complete disbelief that he’s coming here.

 

[Clarkent]

Turuva also had a cracker of a game man what a pick up for the tigers

thought he was the best 2-5 out there

Very interested to see where we play him next year, is originally heard right centre but think he may be on the left wing

We have options at centre: Toa, Olam, Bird, Faataape which makes me think he will play on the wing.
