Unlike that fool who said Soni Luke was supposed to be better than Api this year.

Not what he said. He said Soni at the end of this season we'd want more than Api or he'd go past him. I have to assume playing at the tigers and age were the factors with Soni reaching his potential under Ivan in this Panthers system. Not as out there an opinion as its made out even though it hasn't panned out.

To be fair if Api was playing for us at the same level he is playing at the Tigers, he would be in exactly the same position as Soni is now (ie Cup hooker) on a huge salary.

Don’t pay 30 year old hookers big money unless their name is Cameron Smith (Saints don’t seem to have got the memo either).

It's insane any way you try and think about it and while I disagree with Luke a lot on here most of his thoughts are based in reality and I can see where he's coming from

Buuut this call was hilarious

Yeah it was a bit out there but I get backing us over them. Ivan has been pretty good at developing players. Soni will just go down as a guy who never reached his potential.

No he said he would be as good or better than Api.

I think he got this half right. Api has regressed but Soni hasn’t kicked on.

His call was stupid. So was his hype on Yam in the pre-season. No wonder he disappeared for a few months after Yam got charged..

OK I got that wrong but the reasons are the same. Luke looked to have all the potential in the world and Api went to the Tigers. Ivan turned Kenny from a lock into a very serviceable hooker. The fact Luke didn't make it and improve dramatically is the insane part second only to poking bums @Chins get the wins

Kenny would be crap at most clubs. Yeo allows us to play a tacklebot at 9
