Lauaki was a joke; most Wigan fans can admit that. He's a complete liability and in previous games has been giving plenty of warnings of what he was likely to do in a crucial game. He needlessly lost his cool late on against Leeds, inexplicable ran in from 30 yards away to shove Sa against Catalans, went hitting players late off the ball against Widnes and so it's no surprise that he's acting like an idiot again.

Wane is the one who should take the blame to be honest. It was obvious that Lauaki should have been taken from the field after his first offence, possibly before that given how badly he was playing. Before the season Wane said the best players would start, those who played poorly would drop to the bench or miss out; how he's come to the conclusion that Lauaki deserves to start games and that Lima, our best prop (the stats back that up as do the eyes of every Wigan fan) only plays off the bench.

I can't understand why anyone would give Lauaki a 3 year deal, because everyone who watches Super League knows that he's a liability who under performs frequently. I hope he gets a couple of lengthy bans.

I just can't understand what happened to him really. When he first came over to Hull at the end of 2009 and the Saints game in the fog in 2010 he looked like he was going to rip Super League to shreds, then something changed and he's not been close to being the same player.

I did think it was the way he was treated by referees (the derby game at CP in 2010 when he got pinged for everything), but the things he got away with last night I'm not even sure it's that.

Strange one really.

Where have I said that he was. I was refering to the Sam Moa sending off by Dickie.

Priceless.....in fact it's genius .

He did it in 2 derbies, once on Briscoe and once on Fox and didn't see yellow on either occasion so that gives me some doubt that he would've seen yellow last night just because he was playing in black and white.

Where's all the Bailey defenders on here calling you all racists?

That's not true. This thread doesn't exist. It's only Bailey who comes in for severe criticism for his on-field behaviour. Everyone knows that.

you couldn't make it up.

This is easily the most blinkered post i've ever seen on here, it even beats some of the Wigan fans posts about Gareth Hock not knowing where Ben Harrison's eyes were when he gouged them last season.

I was surprised when Wigan signed him, very physical player but lacks technique and a football brain. Can't see that changing unless Wane can reign him in.

I think you'll find his eyes got in the way of his fingers, and then his head got in the way of his fist as well.

.....or gets mentioned on completely unrelated threads about foul play for no particular reason.

Heyup guys, its the Ryan Bailey protection league!!
