Great news, we do lack that bit of size up front which he will definitely give us, subject to getting his visa of course

surely a bit of background will have been done considering the farce which is going on.

Lauaki does not come as a replacement for Australian Test star Michael Crocker who is still awaiting a decision on his entry visa reapplication.

Take it you didn't read what James Rule actually said about him NOT being Crockers replacement...

Thackery
Houghton

Thats got to be one of the best impact benches in SL.

Well if Dowes and Cusack play 50-60 mins each it means that Thacks and Lauaki can give real impact in shorter bursts. I would be happy with 30-40 mins from each of them in total.

Really excited about Lauaki's signing.

He was actually signed to the warriors until the end of the 2010 season, did we have to pay a transfer fee to get him out of his contract?
