And so can Lauaki, but you obviously only see what you want to. Would I give Lauaki a new contract, yes I would. He's only 25 for starters. Used in the right way with the a new coach he would be totally devastating. He is an inpact forward, not like Fitz who can play for 80 mins and tackle for 80. Get Rid of Lauaki and who would our inpact forwards be, Props would be O'Meley and Moa, and second row would be Manu, that's it. Tickle, Radford, Fitz, are just workhorses, they simply don't bring the physicality that Lauaki does.

He does, it just doesn't always (or even often) find a teammate.

A torn calf muscle. Could be 2 months or more recovery.
The curse goes on!

H is possibly the most exiting player the club have signed for a long long time and one who scares the crapp out of the opps, he has great feet, great hands , and is lightening fast for a back rower but not a prop , that would be a clanger and a half .
The only thing wrong with him is that he blew everyones socks of with a world class stint at Saints and now everyone expects that every match which is unreasonable.
we wont unfortunately see H again till the next Derby at the earliest IMO depending on what his scan says on Weds, possibly play offs if lateral..

he does.
