What about Penrith?
Do you think they'd take him?
We could swap with Luai....
Do you think they'll be in for a swap?
We need Luai more than they need him.
And Burton can bring them back to the fold.... So it's good for the NRL.
Yes, I think they’d love him back if they had the cap space. I like Luai, but he won’t offer more than Burton (and will cost more). As most have said, we’ll improve with some big men (I also think that the additions of class players like Crighton will see us improve).
My point is that none of them are playing near their potential at the moment. I don’t see the sense in shipping them off right now. What number 6 would we target? What would Cody Walker look like in this team? Jack Wighton? Tyson Gamble? Ezra Mam? I suspect that they’d be struggling big time. But not just the 6, do we get rid of Kikau too? Or should we keep adding class and continue weeding out the reserve graders?
It takes time to build a class team. It’s been a horrendous slog, don’t get me wrong. We’ve all been tormented for years. It has been extremely depressing at times. But I feel that we need to give them a chance to turn it around. All the talk says that we’re trying something different. We’re going to have to try something different to get a different result.
