How has LL been going at WT?

The few games I’ve watched he’s not setting the world on fire, obviously big minutes though and time in one position he’s going to get better no matter who the coach is. I’m still not sure he’s any better than Ford/Fuimaono

Agree Forbes but his off loads are great when used correctly.
But I'm like you happy to have who we have

The decision to let him go looks even more questionable now considering we decided to let Frizell go

Did we know that Friz was leaving when we let Luc go. Don't think we did.

 

[RedVDave]

Looks like he's put on a bit of weight ...and I don't mean muscle either.

You are correct they didn't know

And his brother looked a little “heavier” too

If we didn't know then why wouldn't we wait to find out? We chose to release him a year early, he wasn't off contract. Was signing Trent merrin that important?

Hmmmm. I know it's in the past but if we wanted Luc should have chased the bro.

Funny that. Heads in the sand approach
Journos were running with a story that he could leave late in the season last year that poor Friz himself had to put out
I can not believe they honestly had no idea.... it was looking ominous even though they thought they still had power in negotiation
if it is true then they couldn’t put 1 plus 1 together what chance do we have with anything else from our football club staff and board

Communication has not been a strong point for years

Going fine. Getting games under his belt in a forward pack with more depth than Saints', in a team inside the 8. How many consecutive games had he played for Saints? Think the Tigers will reap the benefits later in the season when his match fitness is up.

Plus he genuinely looks happy with there too.
Gets excited when they score, doing some talking.

Yes- in the DT today, he made a very pointed comment about why he was enjoying his new club and it was to do with Maguire believing in him.

One of the many reasons Mary is a poor coach is his appalling man management.

Kurt Mann said the same thing up at Newcastle.

Don't be generous of we didn't Tyson Frizzel was leaving guys they had to hold a press conference last year after the Penrith game to deny rumours he wanted out, obviously it was just lip service as a few months later he confirmed he was outta here.

Good point. He also said to me at the steelers club after a reggies game they won about how playing under Jason Demetriou at the time was good cause "he feels he and everyone knows where they stand"
I took it as a shot at Mary without saying it.
