Luai going on tour and taking a leadership role as capt will improve his game and sets him up well for the tigers season. Penrith Panthers are massive advocate of their rep players at the end of every season. More of those tigers players should be playing rep footy every year. They need to get out of that losing mentality and play alongside good players in a different environment. It will make them better players

I get what you’re saying mate, and I wouldn’t want the club to ask Luai not to go, however at the end of the day we’re paying him $6m. Our entire playing structure is going to revolve around him. Selfishly I was hoping he would forgo the tour and be at concord at the start of December. Our spine potentially can be one of the best in the game, I want them working on it as soon as possible. If he gets there mid Jan when it all starts back up again that’s like 4/5 weeks before the first trial. I know be’ll be in shape and probably the fittest guy at the club, but it basically makes everything we’ve done from the start of November redundant.

I bet they do as well but our team is coming from a different position.

Stephen Critchon played for samoa last year before joining the bulldogs. He turned out alright. Galvin is playing one less rep game this weekend against PNG. Playing next to quality players in that game will give him a huge boost of confidence. You can't expect these guys to focus on club footy only, playing rep footy next to other great players from other clubs will only help them with their by learning off other great players. If Galvin played for the kangaroos you guys will be praising him.

Despite his rep commitments putting his pre-season training on hold, Luai isn't worried and is looking forward to joining coach Benji Marshall in the new year.

"I'll be sweet - I will link up with Benji ASAP when I get back and we will start talking Tigers," he said.

Luai is a different breed.

Luai season cycle:
- Luai makes a bold claim
- Everyone laughs at him
- Luai talks himself up
- Everyone continues to laugh at him
- Luai achieves said bold claim
- Everyone scratches their head
- Luai talks a bunch of shit to everyone
- Everyone has a dummy spit claiming his ego is too big
- Luai exceed expectations and wins at everything
- Everyone has egg on their face
- Luai walks away laughing

We are coming into "bold claim" territory, with some pre-bold claim statements. Here is how I believe it will go:

Jan - Luai will claim we will finish Top 4
Feb - NRL 360 laughs at him
May - Tigers look improved, but suffer some very embarrassing defeats. Luai still claims he will lead us to Top 4
July - NRL 360 pile on the laughter. Braith will shake his head that Luai is delusional
Sep - After one of the biggest runs in Wests Tigers history, Luai leads us into 4th
Sep - Buzz Rothfield unearths story about how Richo and Luai don't see eye to eye over a parking space dispute
Sep - Luai calls Buzz a senile merkin then throws up a "gang sign"
Sep - NRL 360 conduct a 4 part episode on why Luai hasn't proved anything and can't get it done without Cleary
Oct - Wests Tigers win Premiership
Oct - Braith Anasta calls in sick for NRL 360
Oct - Luai puts all five of his premiership rings on his hand...the Wests Tigers one on his middle finger

Pretty funny all you Luai haters are now Luai lovers. It’s pretty embarrassing really.

How did Samoa go under Luai?

Luai was probably the only player that did well for samoa. He created a lot of chances for the samoan boys and some of them couldn't finish it off. Especially the one by Skelton when he threw the worst pass in the history of RL. He also had Milford next to him who did absolutely nothing. If it wasn't for Luai the English would've won 50-0 tbh.

Samoa got belted through the forwards. Their middle rotation of May/Molo/Asiata/Vaalepu is by far the weakest of the top 6/7 nations. Put Leinu, papalli, Hunt, Paulo, Aloiai etc there and it would have been a totally different story.

That Skelton blown try was a shocker, clearly we've already rubbed off on him
