Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2556302, member: 1899"] I hope Lui realises his potential, I really do. From late 08 up to his debut in first grade, Lui looked like a real genuine prospect. Was playing like an in-form Thaiday in that he could make really good charges down the flank and if need be, make some handy charges in the middle when things got tough. His involvement was quite good and he lead really well - I think he was captain in 2010 but could be wrong there. He carried that form into the Dragons and looked like a genuine option off our bench which was a god-send. But it was basically a one off performance and he was never able to replicate it. A lot of people suggest he wasn't cut out for first grade and that might be true but his performances across all levels whether it was NYC or QCup deteriorated - his selection is one of those that boggles my mind - I know he can offer a bit of versatility, but the guy needed to spend more time in QCup, get some form and confidence and then come into first grade when he was ready. That never came to be and he was constantly just thrown onto the bench, he'd suffer some niggling injury and he just couldn't get into any rhythmn until it was too late. In the end, I believe both parties made the right choice. Brisbane weren't getting much value out of him while Lui needed to move on and Manly is a great club these days to develop at. [/QUOTE]
