Hmmmm, hope your looking to much into a pre-season game!

Thats when he was good!!!

Is it just me or do you think theres going to be quite a few punch ups tomorrow?

Not just you. In fact I look forward to it

It's about time that it mattered to the FC team a bit more - I thought Josh Cordoba showed some spirit last year and it was about Fecking time, although he was just a stop-gap player for us.

Was that in between making the most handling mistakes by any prop forward in the super league era in one single game of rugby?

I thought he handled Fozzard quite well.

Nope, that was a record claimed (repeatedly) by Hutch Mavia every time he played.

we've done well in the front row over the last few seasons havent we!

good old Hame, stirred the s@it but did well IMO,gave ...But Willie played to his usual standards, all in all up the ulllllahhhhh!!!
Hame put a cork in it from time to time

Time lauaki was given a rest and some thinking time. He needs to calm himself down and channel his aggression into the playing side. He's becoming a liability giving away penalties, particularly when in posession. It's a hard game and you'll get idiots trying to get a reaction when you're a hot head

Nail hammer head! Could cost us big time!

Has cost us big time. crusaders scored off a set where he gave a penalty away when in posession

Spot on - he needs to understand that his positionis not nailed on. He will always be picked out for special attention and has to learn to deal with it. It might not be right that the ref can't spot someone dropping an elbow or rubbing their head in his face but he will have to get used to it if he wants to hold down a regular place.

Yep, your always going to come up against cowards who cant handle you within the rules of the game who are more than happy to stick cheap shots in. Hopefully he will learn to let his rugby do the talking.

To be fair think i'd of kicked off if a coward like cockayne was rubbing his horrible elbow in my temple... End of the day we won the arm wrestle, Hame helped (kind of).... Agar take stock and roll on monday!

Opposition teams are going to target Hame from now on and he needs to sort out his discipline.

However, on the positive side we have played 9 games and he hasn't been sent off or sin-binned yeticon_smile.gif

Always a bonus ha ha ha...Fair ply league here we come..........Not!

Can't see what the problem is, Yes he is a hot head that gets targeted but used correctly he is a battering ram that we need.
Singled out by the ref I think is a little harsh, Try looking at whats else is going on in the game.

yep we jost need to give him some decent ball

and teach him to laugh in the oppo's face and not take the bait otherwise he'll end up been another ryan bailey

hi im new to the forum

i think luaki needs to carm down a bit or he could loose us games by giving away to many pens because the other teams players will always try to wind him up

they're all comin out the woodwork tonite

Are they winding him up or is he getting to them. How many opposition players does he take in the tackle every time he has the ball? OK So he may react a little but a different ref on a deifferent night may have given the penalties our way.

Amazing, isn't it? Our new friend geezer stops posting when challenged and just a short while later we have another new friend posting from the exact same place.

What a coincidence.

he will always get a bit more attention because of his size but he has to learn to use that so he will win penalties instead of giving them away
