I still think all of you that are bagging Lui are barking up the wrong tree. The kid has very good slight of hand and a very good ability to hold the ball up enabling the ball runners to hit a hole. On top of that he`s not afraid to take on the defence which puts them in two minds. He`s suspect in defence, but this will improve with age and experience much the same as it has with Chris Lawrence and his kicking game is a bit hot and cold at the moment, but does have the ability to create plenty of chances.
I`m not sure what more you can expect from a 19y.o very new to the first grade scene and i`m not sure what more he could have done to impress anyone in the Toyota Cup, he was far and away the best attacking halve in that competition last season.
I do agree that Moltzen`s best spot is also in the halves and I also agree that we have some other very good options in Blake Lazarus providing he regains full confidence after two full seasons out with injury and also AJ Taumata. Taumata is a brilliant ball runner, but is far less structured in his play than any of the others mentioned above, in my opinion Taumata is the one we should be transforming into a full back as he plays without much fear and has plenty of pace. I`ve got no idea how he goes under the high ball, but taking a high ball is a basic fundamental for a first grade back, therefore i`d expect he should be able too especially if he knows it might create him a permanent first grade spot. I also belive Rhys Pritchard would make a very good ball running fullback, I think we have an abundance of options this season and i`m surpremely confident we`ll win the comp !!!
