Kit Laulilii is a player who can have a good NRL career but I believe he is lacking in a couple of key areas right now. To be able to play a lock role he's going to need to build his stamina at this level and his lateral movement. He has terrific leg speed and can throw a good pass if needed. If I were his coach I'd be making him run a helluva lot during this off season and pre season. Also would have him work on that lateral movement. I'd get him to set a goal of how many minutes he can play straight in Cup and how many tackles he can make without a miss, nothing else, just that. If by mid season he can be playing 30 minutes straight and not miss any tackles then he'd be knocking on the door of NRL. But his goal from that point regardless of an NRL call up or not would increase to be trying to play 40 minutes straight and no tackle misses by the end of season. He might not reach those goals but even if he were to get close he'd well and truly be on the right track.

Would be great for our roster if he could make a real contribution to the NRL side in 2025 and beyond.
