He's certainly been on par,if not better than these players.What some people don't realise is that Mark played with a niggling injury for the final 2 months and was constantly given treatment/injections,just to see him through till the end of the season.

As for Lauaki,we had great expectations of him,especially after he put Leon Pryce on his backside at saints,en-route to his try in the 1st game of 2010,but unfortunately,he seems to have 1 good game in 5.His attack can be explosive at times,but his defence lets him down.

On a par with Graham and Morley? This is a joke surely?

Graham may be the exception,but Morley yes.

Carvell, Morley, Mossop, Griffin, Peacock, Wood, Prescott, Graham.

Better than O'Meley ????????

all day long

Please go and post that on the Wire forum.

Is it pies you lot munch on over there,or space cakes!!!!

Surely your on the wind up, yes, they are ALL better than him, he's an overweight, over the hill Aussie cashing in at Hull. As for the Morley comment, laughable, Morley has been nothing short of sensational at Wire. Id take every single one of them props above at Wigan over O Meley, im and im sure if you ask fans of other clubs they would ALL say the same.

Looking at Lauaki's stats it looks like people were mislead with regards to him being a penalty machine. I've seen him give plenty of daft ones away when Hull have been on tele but it looks like that doesnt happen all that frequently. My main problem is he has always struck me as being a very lazy player. Decent pre-season could sort him out, I'm not gonna get on his back before his even pulled the shirt on, but I bet he'll be watched very closely by the fans once the season starts.

if this was true and hes been better than any english prop he would be in the aussie 4 nations camp right now or even englands haha. But i do agree he has had a good season and been very good in a few games with a decent try scoring run.

I'm a fan of O'Meely tbh and he's actually played better over here then I thought he would.

He's one of the top 10 props in superleague but is without doubt behind guys like Graham, Morley, Peacock, Carvell, Mossop and Lynch going off last year.

I'd have him in a similar league to guys like Wood, Griffin, Lima etc who are just at the back of that first lot I mention.

Exactly.

This guy actually believes that after Graham, Mark O Meley is Super league's best prop forward.

These sort of warnings sound very similar to our warnings to Salford fans regarding Feka last year.

Good post, the above listed had better seasons than him last year but I wouldn't swap O Meley for any other overseas props in SL.

We should have a good front row next year if O Carrol can stay fit with him, O meley, Lynch and Moa.

I`m trying to figure what O`Meley has to do with Luauki signing for Wigan.




Anybody asked Phil Clarke what he thinks?

he talks that much cr@p who actually cares?

I find it genuinely interesting that Wane has specifically asked for this signing.

It shows he see's huge potential which makes it quite an exciting signing.

If he has a problem with attitude or commitment then he'll have a miserable time within a Shaun Wane & Wigan squad.

True, if his attitude or commitment is not right U20's beckons (ask Feka)

I watched Lynch every week, including the Hull/Bradford games and I'd pick O'Meley every time.

Yeah Lee Williams is a player we released to York, its usually good to get your facts right before trying to be a higher power.

Anyway Lauaki is a strange one, I am shocked Wigan have signed him but maybe they see some potential they could use better then Agar did (which would not surprise me at all).

He had a good game against saints one season, flattened Leon Pryce on his way to score and made a couple of big breaks as he can shift for a big guy when he gets going. Your two major flaws with Lauaki is keeping him interested otherwise he just won't run his weight and secondly is his disclepline. He gets easy wound up on a field and can cost you a lot of penalties , which you don't need as he isn't the best defender.
