Quote: Famous "However going off last night, which is backed up by what he did in the Hull derby games, he is going to be a liability in the big games and can we really afford to have him in the 17 for such games. I dont think we can. This is even more so imo when we also have Hock in the team, who is also known for his indiscipline, and having both Hock and Lauaki in the 17 is just asking for trouble and it will cost us in the big games imo. Hock is a much better player and so you can put up with the brainfarts, mistakes and indiscipline but for me having Lauaki in there as well is too much of a risk.'"
I agree. People were pointing to the fact his penalty count in the stats for Hull was quite low and nothing out of the ordinary.
Well you know what they say, lies, damned lies and statistics.
If those penalties cost you games he does not have to give very many away to be a liability as he proved last night.
At 27 he is an experienced player so I am afraid this is what you get with him and it can't be put down to lack of experience.
