00:00 Well, first of all, I'm not aware of the negotiations.
00:02 I'll meet with Benji over the next day or so and discuss what the situation is there.
00:07 Obviously, I'll have to step in to be part of that negotiation with what Benji wants.
00:10 I've made my feelings on Lua well known for a long time.
00:15 In my opinion, he was the best young half coming through.
00:18 He's proven at the highest level he's the best young half coming through.
00:21 Not only that, he's a great team leader.
00:24 That penrisai revolves around Lua.
00:29 He is a great person off the field, despite what many media people like to try and make out.
00:33 You couldn't meet a better person than him.
00:36 You couldn't ask for a better person in the club.
00:38 For Lua, Blake is obviously one of the top three front rollers in the game.
00:41 So all those things are added up.
00:43 But at the end of the day, I'm not across it yet.
00:45 All I want to do is assist Benji to get put together the best roster possible.
00:48 And obviously I'll be reviewing that with Benji.
