Hopefully in defence he'll be the new Ben Harris. Sounds like he won't be beaten often which is always good!

It was a big hit on Waterhouse and he is a beast of a man so he can punch his weight that's for sure. Looking at him i think he will be deceivingly fast due to him being tall.

Agree.

Ainy or Vinny on his outside will score plenty from what I've seen of him live this morning and it's good to know that he can also dominate in defence.

Big Les Mark II

Don't start that!



Or he might end up Tupou mk 2

Tupou did ok for his first two games scoring three tries

This guys only 24 though, we want more than 2 good games out of him!

In all seriousness though, definitely got the right attitude and by the sounds of it has some talent aswell. Hopefully he can be a big success.

Looked OK didn't he Mick. Definitely lots of potential. Will keep an eye out for the Knights games on Premier Sports from now on.

Hey guys, I'm a Knights fan from Australia, thought I'd sign up on to this forum to say congratulations on the signing of Keith Lulia and to tell you a little about him (sorry if anyone else has already done so). He's been with us since 2008 though he's always been kept out of a starting position due to our more experienced backs but he's definitely a talented player and most fans are sad to see him go but wish him all the best, he's never let us down.

When he does get his chances to play first grade, he busts tackles quite regulary and has got an awesome offload, he's set up alot of tries and linebreaks for Akuila Uate when he's played next to him. His versatility is also a major benefit, he's filled in for us in multiple positions but I believe his best position is centre. His defence used to be quite poor but he has improved over the last year so no need to worry about that, his defence is great.

He's a pretty big, solid guy which probably is the reason for his lack of speed but as I said it helps him break plenty of tackles. When he gets to Bradford, expect a really genuine, well spoken and professional player off the field, he's a great bloke it's just a shame he hasnt been given too many opportunties to show how great he can be on the field. Hopefully he keeps improving over there and plays well for you guys and the Super League in general, good luck to him and your team for next year!

Cheers for the information and welcome to the forum.

Didn't he play right centre this morning?

I just remember him wearing the number 4 jersey which traditionally is worn by the left centre over here. Now I think about it, he might well of play down the right. Can he play on both sides?

He was listed on Nrl site at right . I thought he was playing down right but when you said left figured I must have still been half asleep

Do the NRL have a different numbering system?

Lulia was number 4 against Roosters but was at Left Centre.

pretty sure he was right centre today, unless because its down under, the pics come back to front as well as upside down?!
he put the winger in inside him and he was on the bottom of the screen attacking right? i was half asleep!!

he was at right centre (in the first half at least) Didnt see the second so cant say.

Knights play their centres in the opposite numbers because Adam McDougall didn't want to change numbers when he changed sides, and now Junior Sau doesn't want to change numbers.
Doogs always plays in 4 - has for 10+ years.
Sau always plays in 3 because Doogs told him to.

Well that clears that confusion up. However a poster on the Knights forum has since suggested that he is better on the left!! So god knows! www.marathonstadium.com/forum/sh ... eith-Lulia

Just watching re run of Dragons v Knights Lulia scrores for Knights on 56 mins tune in Ch 433

I reckon he will be a big improvement on what we currently have. He is a strong lad who tackles well and regularly attracts numbers into the tackle. Looks to have a good pair of hands on him so it would be nice to see a good finisher outside of him at the Bulls.

He isn't the quickest centre but I think he makes up for that in other areas.

Wouldnt take much to be a big improvement

Kopped a blow to the head a few mins before he scored and was down for a few minutes. Just charged over after a powerful run to score a try. Gone to the sideline and said 'did I just score?'.. ha he doesn't know where he is!! Taken off now to get his marbles back in place!!

From what ive seen of him, he does look to be in the Kevin Iro mould, hopefully he will be just as good.

Well, he's struggled to get an NRL start and has been farmed out a bit but looking at what we've got now he should fit in really well. Just a point, we wanted big les to be sacked after 1 season, couldn't catch or defend, but year two tells it's own story. Anyway he's got a lovely name and that always looks good on telly. :

But Les had a strong pedigree. Everybody knew he would come good.
