I hope that he offers as much go forward as him, but with more game time.

What is your opinion of this signing?

Anybody remember him almost kicking a Samoan's head off in the World Cup? MENTAL!

Certainly full of aggression...my only worry is will this signing limit the game time of Washy, Burnett and Whiting. If he plays prop, which i think he would be best at, he won't effect the young lads coming through.

All in all a great signing. I like the Tongan Trio we have now....bit like the 80's with the Kiwi's all over again!

One's now Head of Youth Development

Does he score drop goals against the dobbins too?

Should go well for short stints, as said like Feka. I know majority of people rate Thackray and King as 2 good impact props but there not imo. Both give alot of penaltys away and are hit and miss especially King. Obviously Agar has realised this so he brought someone in. But i think people are going to be very very disapointed with Moa.

We've signed Tevita Leo Latu aswell!!!

almost as bad as the sun

I think moa is a longer term proposition. If luaikai does get his visa then I suspect moa's opportunities will be very limited anyway

Although I do like this opinion.....

"I'm telling you now, when Lauaki learns to control his agression and channel it in the right direction, he is one of the most devastating backrowers in the game. I think he did so tonight, and that was only a glimpse, just imagine what he can do with a few games behind him, match fitness and confidence to boot. So those calling him 'dumb' and 'stupid' really need to make a better analysis of the game before making blind presumptions."

Thats because the guy has left them so just like every other teams fans do. Say he's crap etc.

Like most on here about Cooke

On what basis do you make that assumption

Due to the lack of game time hes had, family that have seen him play in Australia, seems we were the only club in for him

Who? He's crap!

Unknown superstar....I think there's more to it than that. It looks like the fans are split, and have been for a while.

Ipersonally like the sound of him...if he cuts out the penalties he will be a fans favourite....!!

When it was announced, it said that he was a 'project' no claims as to what he would do, give him a break he hasn't got here yet ffs.

Think he is much more suited to the front row personally and think thats where we will play him. Who's been calling him dumb and stupid?

People are getting carried away with him and when/if he doesnt play well when he gets some gametime people will start slagging him of like they did with Hutch. Im not expecting to much from him so i wont be disapointed if he doesnt play well. If he does its a bonus.

I have't seen any posts on here stating that what he will/wont do, other than yours

Excellent signing imo, has a superb running action that is all about aggression and power. He should be used as a prop from the bench and I reckon he will cause defences plenty of problems if we use him right.

As we now have a lot of props it will be interesting to see who misses out?

Cusack/Dowes would normally start.

Two of Thacks/King/Maloney/Moa/Luauki to come off the bench.

Basically means that if they don't perform we can replace them. I see this being a learning year for Maloney and also Moa with the other 5 fighting for four spots.

Dowes and Cusack to start, with Luauki, Thacks on the bench.
Moa and Maloney as you said will be learning this year and will get a handful of games each. Can't see King getting much game time.

Depends on how Thacks plays though, don't think anything is cut and dried with the pack.
