00:05 and discuss what the situation is there. Obviously, he'll have to step in to be part of that negotiation with what Benji wants.
00:11 I've made my feelings on Luau well known for a long time. In my opinion, he was the best young half coming through.
00:18 He's proven at the highest level he was the best young half coming through. Not only that, he's a great team leader.
00:25 That Penrith side revolves around Luau. He is a great person off the field, despite what many media people like to try and make out.
00:34 You couldn't meet a better person than him. You couldn't ask for a better person in the club.
00:39 For Noah Blake, he's obviously one of the top three front-rowers of the game.
00:42 So, all those things are added up, but at the end of the day, I'm not across it yet.
00:46 All I want to do is assist Benji to put together the best roster possible, and obviously I'll be reviewing that with Benji.
