Wonder if there’s a chance they’re carrying him on the bench to get a look at how the team goes with him at fullback? Injuries maybe haven’t let them get a good look at him there since the preseason game he was played there. The way CNK keeps breaking down in games makes me think fullback is getting beyond him with his work rate. Taking nothing away from him though, he’s an important leader to the club

TMM opens up another playmaker on the field, but totally different to how we use our fullback and back 5 for carries. He doesn’t suit it in that sense
A healthy upgrade is *essential*.
If we don’t, we lose him.
Do any of us want that?
Let’s not fart around…
Lets see what plays out. It's still a long way to go until November 1st. A decision isn't required today.
Agree and talk of offering LM a Million is premature.
However I would argue that on current form he's worth the same or more than D Brown and look what's happening with him.
Good 7s are expensive these days and only going to increase in value as expansion evolves
I know he's in a different position, but what about considering what Ryan Papenhyzen is on?
$950k
Would you say that LM is on that sort of level?
I'm not disagreeing with your points. Just trying to look at the current list of $1m players (which is all over the place, position wise) and trying to place where LM sits in relation to his value to the team.
Yes as I said 1m or similar is premature right now. If he continues to improve as well as he is at present other clubs will be looking at him seriously.
There's a lack of FG ready 7s.
DCE is going around again and probably Reynolds because there's a lack of replacements.
Only going to be more important as expansion comes about

Papenhuyzen's not even fit to lace Luka's boots if we're being honest.
Oh, did Luke put 36 on the Tigers?
My sarcasm obviously not on point like I thought!
You’re probably right. $995,000 then.
He's worth what ever other clubs are willing to pay
What would Perth be willing to pay?
I was one of those who questioned LM's fitness for the 7 jersey. Couldn't quite see the management side of his game earlier.
Happy to eat my favourite hat as he is growing every week. Someone, either Webby, Stacey or SJ or maybe all 3 are getting in his ear and he is obviously listening.
One thing that has been there from day one is confidence. He's sort of like you're archetypal little Aussie battler. He revels in it which is great for us.
I'm looking forward to the progression continuing but can Chook increase the GK practice please. He has a bit of a hook going.
