Quote: Shaun Wane asked specifically that Wigan sign Lauaki because he believes the Player has significant under-used potential which Shaun could develop and that he would add a hard edge, with Gareth Hock, to an already-talented Wigan pack.

That being the case, it's a huge, almost uneccessary risk to give him a three year deal with an option for a fourth? Surely it would be far more prudent to just give him a one year contract with an option for another year?
He showed passing glimpses of potential at Hull FC then faded away. Shaun Wane backs him and after seeing how some of our other forwards have progressed (Coley, Mossop, Prescott) I'm willing to reserve judgement until he's had a full pre-season with Bitcom and the rest of the coaching staff.
Welcome to Wigan Lauaki.
