Anyone heard anything about the club talking with Joey Leilua?

Weirdly heard a few folk asking Max today in the club shop when I was buying the shirt, he wouldn’t comment obviously.

Has Leilua been decent for Fev, not seen him play tbf.

28 Try’s in 38 games for Fev
He’ll be 32 in December so not too old and he may well thrive under a full time regime.
If he comes with the correct attitude and motivation then he’d be an asset

Got to take it all with a pinch of salt, he wasn’t in shape to play NRL and discipline wasn’t there for SL so playing well under his level.

All in all he’d be a good signing for any championship club.

I can see this happening tbh.

I would be reasonably happy with it as Miller and Lino work reasonably ok with each other. Or maybe there’s a player deal to be done. Who knows. We absolutely need some change or reinforcement at halfback though.

Sign too many championship players and become a championship club. Our signings should be made with preperation for SL next season.

Though I expect we will need a few good championship standard players. Just not too many.

As for Joey. Depends what the coaches and back room staff think. I’ve not seen enough of him. If fitness is his issue then at 32 and already full time that may be hard to improve.

I do expect Croft to kick on this season. He was pretty solid in SL last year.

Player deal? Come on Vasty think about it we are now a championship club due to your two old best mates! We'll you thought they were

No thanks .. there's a reason Cas we're only marginally better than us last year. There's a feel good factor around the club at the minute let's not burst the balloon.

According to my Fev mate very much rocks and diamonds. Will make a good break a game and might in in a big hot but also makes his fair share of errors and poor defensive reads. Was on big money at Fev as well so unlikely to be cheap.
