After five years away, Luciano Leilua returns to St George Illawarra as a changed man – and he believes he can help the Red V change their fortunes in 2024.
Luciano Leilua returns to St George Illawarra with a sense of optimism, a dose of remorse and without all the white noise after disconnecting from social media.
“I wish I stayed there to be a one-club man,” Leilua said. “Everything happens for a reason and I’m grateful to come back. When I left, I needed a change. I had a chance to get some experience at the different clubs I was at, and I’ve got a chance to bring that back to the club. “It was a really, really silly mistake. I definitely take full ownership of it. It won’t happen again. I’m really grateful to the Dragons for still allowing me to sign, they really helped me through that. I’m just really grateful.”Leilua returns to the Dragons on a three-year deal worth. There has been some social media debate about whether he is worth the money, but the Samoan international is oblivious to it all.
The pitch from new coach Shane Flanagan was instrumental in making the move happen, but so too was the chance to reunite with fellow returning Dragon Hame Sele.
