Quote: ABP' "To be fair to Lauaki, it's the only two brain farts I've seen him do this year.
Ignoring Friday night, Lauaki has been a good signing. Simple as that.'"
I've seen him do a few more. Against Leeds when he needlessly lost his cool against Bailey, against Catalans when he stupidly rushed in to shove Sa when he was stood about 30 yards away, and against Widnes when it looked like the game was lost he went around hitting players late off the ball.
In terms of his performances, he's had one good game, a few average games and a few poor games. Both Flower and Lauaki have been unspectacular but Flower has made up for it with his excellent work rate. Lauaki hasn't made up for it with anything. His technique in defence is pretty shocking and his technique running with the ball is incredibly ineffective. He runs at the defence, then turns around and steps backwards and goes looking for another player to run at. It's exactly like Fielden when he was playing terribly. If Lauaki just ran as hard as he could like Prescott, Lima, Mossop and Flower then he might be slightly useful.
