Tui nominated for International Golden Boot Award.Playing against the worlds best players,deserves it after his nightmare at Leeds, playing for top coaches has made his season.

There were some good reasons it didn't work at Leeds, and some bad ones as well.

On his part, he looked unfit, he shirked tackles and he didn't look interested from an early stage (the try he scored at Wakefield was a fluke that only came about because he bottled the tackle).

On Leeds' part, he was a square peg in a round hole. He was never a player that was going to compliment (or be complimented by) Myler in the halves.

Fair play to the guy - he's kicked on since moving.

He's in with a shout, but I think Murdoch-Massila deserves it. It'll definitely be going to a Tongan player anyway.

They should call the award something else now

Maybe Lolohea was told at an early stage at Leeds that he was no longer required just like many of the other players who have been shipped out.
He may well have thought knac£ers to you all why should I bother.
Saying that not what you would expect from a RL professional but may have been a reason he was so bad at Leeds.

Lolohea plays well when he's happy. He's a player I've watched ever since he came through the Warriors and onward. When he's happy and confident he's a great player. For whatever reason, it didn't work at Leeds. Some clubs suit certain players. There's loads of players that have moved on from clubs and transformed. That's team sports for you.

Watson's style of coaching suits Tui. He has confidence again and it shows.

Out of curiosity is he going to be a Salford player again next season?

I think so, he moved permanently not on loan. Same with Lui the other way.

In that case Salford certainly got the better deal there didn't they.

I must confess, watching him play for Leeds and then for Salford and Tonga is like chalk and Cheese.

No they did not he is rubbish , everyone getting over excited on the back of average performances

Signed a two-year deal iirc.

Just because he didn't perform for your team doesn't mean he's never going to perform to the best of his ability ever again. You sound very insecure.

Spot on. I'm delighted, I'd rather see a player go well in someone else's squad than have their talents go to waste in ours.
