Playing career
Lui was plucked from obscurity in Townsville five years ago when Wests Tigers recruitment boss Warren McDonnell spotted the youngster playing a junior club game for local side Centrals.
Impressed with his size and ball skills, McDonnell fast-tracked Lui into the joint-venture's scholarship stream with Gold Goast schoolboy football powerhouse Keebra Park High - Benji Marshall's alma mater.
After finishing his studies in 2007, Lui moved to Sydney's inner west last year.
Lui has been a standout in the Wests Tigers Toyota Cup this Year earning him the five-eighth position in the NYC Toyota Cup Team of the Year. He made his NRL debut against Cronulla Sharks,Toyota Stadium, Rd 23. According to Wests Tigers assistant coach Royce Simmonds "He's a mature type of kid - I don't think this will fluster him," Simmons said. "He's been training with us for three or four weeks because we knew there would probably be an injury and he'd come in. He has fit right in at training and has no problems giving the boys orders."
He was a member of the 2009 NYC Toyota Cup Grand Final side against the Melbourne Storm.
