He couldn`t do worse?

When you consider Moa was a 'Project' and Lauaki was touted as a big signing

“Hame will make a real impact and he has the ability to produce great off loads

Sam

A big powerful prop the 22-year-old former Cronulla Shark is seen by Hull as a project and someone they hope they can launch into the engage Super League.

it is easy to say Sam has had the bigger impact since arriving at the club. Lauaki may have been hindered by having to play 2nd row when he was used to playing prop although there really should not be too much difficulty making such a minor switch.

Hopefully this season he will be used at prop (which when you consider the signings is highly probable) and will show us what he is definitely capable of doing.

Lauaki has always been a Second Row, hasn't he? He certainly played there predominantly at NZ Warriors.

Actually looking into it more, it seems you are correct Digby and I bow to your knowledge. I know he played a few games at prop for Warriors at least and my brain took that and presumed he was a prop.

Sorry to derail the thread...rumours anybody???

Re: Did someone hear a rumour? : Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:22 pm  

Lauaki has been a massive let down for me. To say he was once touted as the best impact player in the NRL, he has never shown that form here. Really cant see why some fans love him. For me he does more thing wrong then he does good. The odd hand off here and there is not enough for me. Look at the way Moa hammers teams when he is on. IMO he needs to either up his work rate, or have more of an explosive impact because last season he did neither consistently. Just my opinion of course.
