And was doing it at Salford prior to coming here. He'd impressed at a "smaller" club and was rewarded with a move to a "bigger" club. We are taking a punt on Lauaki which is something I dont think we should ever have to do.
I hope I'm proved wrong but I really dont understand this signing!

The main problem I have with him in relation to penalties is the ones he gives away are just daft. There is no such thing as a good penalty but when I have seen him pinged it has been for a pointless lazy flop or daft swinging arm. Brain dead coach killing errors.
He is a project in what has been a flat market, will not cost the earth and has massive potential. Could become a massive crowd favourite and strike running backrow, where we need more threat in my opinion.
Could be a total goose.
His future and success is in his hands.
Welcome to Wigan.

If you remeber our away game at your place this season, when you narrowly did us. Lauaki came off the bench and gave a crucial penalty away, i'm 99% sure you scored off it. That's the eternal frustration with him. He will make you put your head in your hands, no doubt.
Having said that, there is talent there. Only time will tell eh.

Bad signing for such a high caliber team like yourselves. He is lazy, has no heart, not a great defender for his size and has the often brain fart.
Inconsistent and no passion at all. And 3 years! Wow!

Whilst I have to agree with you,its precisely because of some players like Lauaki we are in this position.Its only my opinion but I would like to thank Wigan for taking him off our hands. If he suddenly becomes a revelation at your place I will hold my hands up and admit I was wrong.

You've either been watching a different Mark O'Meley or you seriously need to give your head a shake.
Lauaki couldn't lace O'Meley's boots, not without being subbed after all the exertion of lacing the first one anyway

Since arriving over here with a big reputation O'Meley has looked nothing more than an overweight 'plodder', if you believe he has been value for money it's no surprise you've had a couple of seasons of mediocrity. |

Well let's just leave it 'til next season and see how O'Meley & Lauaki go head-to-head eh? I know which player I'm happier retaining |

[b:3v5chy3z]Brian McDermott paraphrased Peter Fox.

If Shaun Wane has seen some hidden potential and can unleash it, then you've been wasting your money on Madge for the last two years. I just have this nagging feeling that by the time Lauaki matures into a powerhouse player, he may be older than Stanley Gene
