That’s a yes from me, got a few more years in him yet, would definitely change our style of play..!!! Be good to have his experience also. It’s not a negative from my point of view. But hey, that’s just my opinion after all.

Think we are getting very desperate, need some sort of lifeline.

I’d love him. Didn’t we have a crack at him the other year? He’s off to England though.

Of course yes .. we need to bring in as many experienced capable NRL players as possible.. lets just recruit as many experienced NRL players we can , they dont need to be world beaters or superstars.. then replace them as better players become available..

Fuck no! He's done. Past it.

And he can't stay at one club for too long cause he's a big annoying pest with an ever bigger ego and head.

Why pay insane money for someone old !? Invest somewhere else thanks.

Bit similar to Foran. Like not really a 7. But yeh you don’t say no to that class of player. Good general play kick. Good at conversions.

Butttttttt..... he isn’t exactly in his prime years. Still miles ahead of anything else we have on our roster.

It is a little worrying though a player like his looking for his 6th club.

Would cost us easily over $500k a season, and for anything over that not worth it.

Injury prone, playing shit in a talented Panthers side, and that's with Cleary alongside them.

Besides why help Panthers clear the books to keep young talent. Luai is the Panther you want.

...

Just read the article by Daily Terrorgraph... it's only if he wants to head to ESL.

He's 33 years old, his form is slipping and he'd command good money on the open market. Save the money for a more long term solution.

I’m with you. Beyond being past his best, he’s a journeyman - ever noticed how no club wanted to re-sign him: Storm, Warriors, Chooks, Sharks and now it looks like Panthers happy to see the back of him. Bit of a troublemaker / prima donna. Been a good player but not the right fit for us in my view.

Nah, we only seem to get EX stars. We need to focus on future talenteither from our own stocks or actually getting a junior we target.

Would have been good a couple years ago, but too late for mine.

Not worth it, he's done his dash in the nrl and his best years are very much over. Super league is the perfect place for him

No he form is so bad this year and he is a liability in defence and a penalty machine. 3 years ago would have be perfect.
