I've never understood the logic behind that. I haven't seen anything to suggest that Lauaki cannot play down the left or is significantly more effective on the right. The only slight benefit I can see is that his left to right passing is stronger than right to left, making him more effective at giving service to those outside him when he's down the right, but Tickle's the same, so there's no real gain there. All it means is that our right channel defence goes to sh[size=100i[/sizet and our left channel attack suffers similarly. We go from sending Manu at the half/centre, putting Yeaman away, to Tickle running unders lines or, more often, getting it on a drop-off, working back inside towards the forwards. When that's happening on the right, with him sometimes holding his line and having the option of giving the pass wide, it's fine, but that isn't going to happen down the left.

a good example being briscoes' break in the second half, going un-penalised, unlike washys' in the first half when he was and he held the hudds player down far less than briscoe was.

It was for striking I believe, he had just made a mistake with a knock on call that led to the scrum so he was probably trying to rectify a mistake.

to be fair he frustrated us in the first half with his fickleness and failure to penalise hull for messing around/laying on,but in hindsight majority of the penalties were justified,discipline from both teams was poor, more so hull in the 2nd half.

What about the feet up at the scrum were we got penalized for it ..all because the Huddersfield fans sang to the ref he didn't know what he was doing ..ps that last time I saw a penalty for feet up Eric ( Sergeant Major) Clay awarded it

I heard they do a nice line in C&G glasses in your shop
