Both Lui and Hurrell should be ashamed of their size. As professional athletes.
Lui was pictured shirtless during the season at training and he’s certainly not fat! I think there’s an element of natural build about him that makes him look overweight. Konrad I think could lose an inch round his waste but I for one wouldn’t be the one to tell him
Talk about body shaming Glad I'm not playing, crikey. Not sure about Lui; Konrad could lose some weight, but this has been a constant thing throughout his career.
How many mature players have you seen fundamentally change their physique? It's highly unlikely to happen.
I imagine his ability to contribute in games would be improved if he was leaner, and I agree that for professional sportspeople not to be in the best physical shape they can be is poor.
For me, it's more about how we use him too - definitely should be kept on the right, and I'd like to see us creating more room for him rather than just giving it to him in hopeless positions and standing back while he runs at three defenders. The team needs to work better with him IMO.
Agree that we can't compete with the NRL. Also agree that we need the magic combination of home grown and quality players. However, Tetavano is that quality player in a position we are desperate to strengthen. If not him, who else? If we fail to fill this gap the inference is that the club is in financial hole, and one that will require big season ticket and corporate box sales for us to climb out of. People need to be persuaded that the team can be competitive, and that means on the field but also off it. I'll keep renewing my season ticket year after year no matter what, but not everybody is in a position to do that. Signing Tetavano might persuade a few who are on the fence that the entertainment might be worth the expenditure.
Some good points. All I'm suggesting is that I'm sure the club are on this like a car bonnet, and they will have reasons for whatever is happening. It is frustrating for us on the outside looking in - and you're right that Tetevano looks the right kind of player in theory. I'm still hoping we retain Ava for another season or two, but it has to be right for him.

Indeed, Hasn't Lui been the same 'size' for most of his career?
Possibly but I think that’s a waste. He’s so dangerous outwide and creates a lot of opportunity for his wingers as opponents are drawn to him.
Interesting to hear his views on going home.... and there being no point for a few weeks visiting due to quarantine.. I think that tells us all we need to know about Ava’s situation.
