Didn't know where else to post this and isn't worthy of it's own thread but found a couple of these quotes from Dunamis Lui interesting...
"[The motivation was] not really for a better deal; it was more the opportunity I got to come down as a part of the top four front rowers down here," Lui said.
"In Brisbane I was there for four years and I felt like I was stuck in the same position every year. It took me a while to make the decision, it took me eight weeks, but in the end it was a decision I had to make."
"[The setup is] not much different to the Broncos... the training down here, it's a bit longer and a bit more constant throughout the day. It's not like you come in in the morning and do it in one go, it's a bit more throughout the day," he said.
"I think for me it's a lot better, with my knee injuries and hip flexors and groins... with the Broncos, I think the [compressed] workload up there was a bit much for me but down here I feel a lot better."
"It's going well meeting all the new boys; the boys have been great for me, I'm a pretty shy person but they've made it easy to fit in," he said.
"We've had a few team bonding sessions, a lot of boys in their spare time are looking for something to do so that's been great."

If memory serves, the Sea Eagles deal was better wasn't it? I'm sure his PR response factored into it too given how much he stagnated up here.
Always interested in how ex-players respond to life after Brisbane. It looked like Lui was just started to turn a corner when he signed that deal.
EDIT:
