He once stood over a concussed Selwyn Cobbo in the 2022 Origin series, taunting his prone opponent, then doubled down the following year, telling the winger to “do something about it”. He has been fined for pushing touch judge Chris Sutton. And after being sent off in Origin II last year, heLuai accepts that he has pushed the limits. “I think back a few years, I was sort of playing the victim and saying, like, I’m not really in control of that,” he says.
That world will turn upside down in coming months. Luai has signed a contract for more than $1m a year, starting in 2025. It means Sunday’s match will be his final with the club where he has spent his whole career, and which represents his community. This week, Luai suspects, will not feel quite the same.
