Luai may be a flog, unlikable and whatever other adjective that can be thought of but let’s be honest, the game has plenty of candidates for similar titles.

He certainly does himself no favours but he’s a good player who plays his part alongside Cleary.

Id suggest that most teams would be happy to bring him into their side but while he plays for the Panthers, he’s public enemy number one.

Football ability aside, I don’t always agree with his approach but he’s not alone in being considered an NRL heel (Wrestling term for being an antagonist/unfavourable character).

Have we moved on from the likes of Cody Walker? Jai Arrow? Cam Smith? Munster?

We looked really energetic and quick with the ball in hand. The speed they played at in the first half was intense.

Great to see Edwards on centre stage. His passing and set play involvement last night was the best we’ve seen from him. If he continues to evolve that part of his game, he’ll bag a lot more tries.

What? Our players improving? That's not in the script. We need to go "back to the pack" to make others feel good about their mediocrity.

Ronaldo at the Sharks does the exact same thing...yet nothing about it

Fletcher was angry about the attacks on head coach Ivan Cleary in particular. The implication is that the coach lacks class.
I'm sure Wests supporters can get on the bus with that.

They can keep attacking Panthers. Just gives the players more motivation to prove them wrong and keep winning. Honestly not sure how a team with so many reserve graders in it can put on 40+ and 50+ scorelines in the past 2 weeks.

Fancy scoring so many points with the worst 9 in the competition.

Yep the more they continue to cry about Penrith publicly watch them say f**k you by winning the premiership for the third consecutive year. And it will be some sort of achievement if they do it.

Panthers looked abit tired in the last 10 on Saturday. Should probably look at resting all of their players next week bar Mitch Kenny.
Mitch Kenny should never get a chance to keep Knights in the game. he should be axed and replaced with literally anyone. There's 29 players in our top 30 who could do a better job.

As a biased Panthers fan I can see how blatant his stupid penalties are. The leg pull at the start of the Manly game was so f**king stupid. The strips. High shots.

The one argument that can be made for his inclusion is defence. But he constantly put his team under the pump with stupid penalties or lazy ones. Meaning his defence is actually costing us and his attack is non existent.

Wish the match review committee would do us a favour and suspend him for the rest of the season. Come down really hard on him.
