Give him a 1 year deal with an extra year option being the club's choice tbh.

Re: Lauaki to Wigan : Thu Jul 21, 2011 11:34 am  

Everyone keeps mentioning him as a prop, but more often than not he has played in the 2nd row, on the edge. He has a good step, good fend and has a good passing game for a big guy. Hull use him incorrectly IMO - with a good coach, he could be devastating

Even last year's stats suggest that Wood was the better performer. http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... 10&hp2=420 Paul Wood has been one of Super League's quiet acheivers for some time and is greatly under-rated.

Maybe he will be Agers first signing when he moves in to replace Madge next season.

How come stats only matter to Wire fans when it fits? When we point out Sam Tomkins and Brett Hodgsons stats, they somehow dont matter

I wouldn't want Richard Agar coaching Pats

Danny Bridge to Wire is one rumour on our board?

Can't say I ever hear name mentioned much if at all from those who regularly watch the reserves. He's certainly not one of our stand out youngsters.

Good luck to him though if it is indeed true.

Re: Lauaki to Wigan : Thu Jul 21, 2011 2:10 pm  

I really dont see what the big downer is regards Lauaki.

For a start even if we do sign him we'll still have Fielden, Lima, Prescott and Mossop plus the Hock and Crosby. If he's a cheapish option to add depth to our front row i think it could be quite an astute signing as he has bags of potential.

If we got him say on a one year deal with a futher 1 or 2 in our favour looking at him to improve his all around game. Mainly his structure within a team and ill discipline it could work out brilliantly.

One things for sure this "potential" kind of signing wont be like Karl Pryce. Lauaki will never be questioned for his passion and commitment.

I agree, the only thing is it will take up one of the quota spots.
