His style of play will attract attention and the fact he has such a short temper will see him targeted as other teams try to wind him up and get a cheap penalty out of him.

I think its Lauaki who needs to keep his hands to himself and just get on with it. Giving a penalty away whilst your in posession is pointless.

He's definitely going to have to learn that regardless of how much 'treatment' he gets from the oppo he can't come up swinging. Maybe he was harshly treated but its up to him to get up and play on. He's a big unit and can obviously cause some damage to others teams but if he's constantly going to give away pens the good will pale with the bad.

Every team in RL will niggle him and its how he reacts to this that will be the make or break.

PS. Good tactic by Agar, it will definitely gain him some protection by the next ref, but not a lot.

What a load of garbage, he got repeatedly illegally hit.

I agree if a ref is going to constantly ignore the dirty tackles on him and not protect him then what do you expect him to do?

Idiot tactics cost Rovers any chance of that game, which is the best thing about it.

Some of the comments on that link are hilarious!

We lost the game due to a slight knock on.

A fair point very much overlooked since Friday. I heard Clint Newton say on the radio that his 'tank' was on empty for the last 10 minutes of the Derby and that alongside his pretty ineffective running game would suggest he maybe put too much effort into the physical side of the game.

Agar has it spot on, Lauaki does not to be smarter but he is attracting the attention of defenders and is being harshly treated by the refs.

You lost because you're a one man team, and he was fed up of getting no platform because your forwards were busy taking cheap shots and then hiding!

Enjoy another season of winning nothing, it's what your lot deserve.

You were awarded 9 more penalties then Hull, thats potentially 50 more plays with the ball in hand! I doubt your coach was quite so shallow in summarising were you lost the game.

You're not wrong there. Newton's a tool.

A small knock on lost us the game!

As you have mentioned enough times, the derby is just another game, we got the same points as you guys over the Easter weekend.

It's either a knock on or it isn't.

Our defence won us the game, you scored one try, the other was a gift.

Either we beat you and the game is long gone now.

Just how does that confirm it? The current Fairplay league would suggest the opposite is correct.

Poor old Tongan Mafia, how dare anyone stand up to their mighty aggression? Rovers give some medicene back and now the coach bleats in the local rag. Isn't this exactly what you all slated Galea for doing last weekend?

Pathetic whinge by a pathetic coach.

It was a knock on, only a slight one at that. It shows the fine margins on how a game can be won or lost.

Agree, your defence was outstanding.

We've been crying out for a player like Lauaki for a few seasons now. I dont see it as a negative that he's hot headed and easy to wind up, i think he positives outweigh these.

standing up to agression, didn't see any of that, just cheap shots and a laughing goon on TV

Is this how their justifying the defeat?

A slight knock on?

It gets better.

You lot was bleating about how you lost a derby due to a forward pass not so long back!!!

Until he stops retailiating he isn't going to get anything from the refs. If he can curb his temper then the penalties will start coming our way. Maybe agar can sit down and discuss it with cummings

I applauded Rovers agression, it was a real battle and made for an enjoyable derby. That said there is playing hard and then playing illegally. Rovers got away with a few cheap shots on Lauaki.

Agar is not purley defending Lauaki rather than moaning about decisions he never got.

Where as whingy Galea blamed the whole defeat on you not getting decisions depite a 16-9 penalty count in your favour, de dums you lost get over it, there is another cup final for you before the season ends!

Had it not been for Silverwood's pathetic refereeing of the game and his almost obsessive awarding of petty penalties to the mighty HKR, the "knock on" would have been irrelevant and the score would have certainly reflected the difference in quality of the two teams much more closely.

bit of a difference between a refereeing mistake and a playing mistake

anyway, you lost by a lot more than a knock on.

as PaulM says, it's in the past now.
