rlLeeds, or more importantly, Rugby League need to get his signature back onto a contract, sharpish.rl

Meh.

Why? He's been past his best for at least two years now. I'd rather he left and we spent his salary on someone else.

He has been a great servant to Leeds though.

He's a good impact player IMO. Strong running and soft handed with decent pace (still) for someone his size. We currently don't have another player who can have the same influence on a game that Lauitiiti has when he comes off the bench.

No offence to the lad but what else can we get out of him? Giving him a new contract seems a daft idea to me

Never should we forget his full length try at Sthelens in 2004.

Unbelieveable moment!

It was 2005.

It might be time to move on, but he remains our one real game-breaker in the pack when on form, and we need to replace that function.

He's been a Very good player in the past and still shows sparks of this from time to time......but......he isn't consistent enough to be offered a new contract imho.

I wish him all the best in the future though, excellent servent to the Club and the game of Rugby League over the last 7 or so years.

Best import Leeds have had in the SL era? Has been a fantatsic player, but those days are behind him now. Wish him all the best for the next stage of his career.

if he isnt getting a decent union contract then a reduced contract at leeds might be a option

Offering him a Reduced Contract stops good young talent stepping up imo.

All good things.....

There is no replacement for Lauitiiti in our current squad at the moment I'd say so any replacement looks like it will have to come in from the outside.

I wonder if GH felt that Hauraki would be his replacement?

Having found this picture of GH, he could well have.
