Agree with the above. Some big improvements there for all to see - liked the much deeper lines in attack and our half backs were excellent. Team spirit has returned.

As much as Chase was the greatest player I've ever seen in a Salford on his day, I would still rather have Lui for a better overall team chemistry.

From what I've seen from him thus far I am expecting us to get a lot of repeat sets and trys from kicks next season because his grubber kick game is on point.

I read an Australian article a while ago that was pinpointing why Queensland produces so many good HB's in comparison to anywhere else. It was an interesting read, with plenty of input from coaches and people in the game. To cut a long story short, the crux of the matter came down to the fact that kids in Queensland are not 'over-coached' and encouraged to try things and show flair. It isn't long before they become very good readers of play and leads them to produce HB's that control the ebb and flow of games more than anywhere else. I can see these qualities in Robert Lui in abundance. He's a typical Queensland HB product that has talent but also has that ability that is so hard to coach and that's the ability to dictate and make the right decisions at the right time.

We haven't had a HB like him in a very long time.

We'll miss the flair and outrageous ability of Chase, but in return we'll be getting a player that can control a game and offer a lot more than just flashes of brilliance. I'm very happy that we've got him and Chase is just a memory already for me. A good memory on the whole, but still a memory.

From the snippets so far does anyone think Lui is going to have the same affect that Kelly had with KR.

I am excited about seeing him in a fully competitive SL game and think Sheens has pulled a trump card with this signing.

Jones is a very good signing for you. I'm gutted that Saints have lost him to a now failed jaunt down south.
He works very hard and is a capable back row, but is an underrated talent in the centre. Expect to find a surprising amounts of tackle busts and break in the stats reading.

I would confidently say that Jones could be a future Salford captain and, if Sheens and Co manage to keep improving performance, lead your side in a period of relative success.

Spoke to him after the match: sound and friendly character who obviously wants to do well.
