Ali Lauitiiti suffered a medial knee ligament injury. Out for sometime.

Get well soon big man

Great player and will be missed massively.

Very bad news for us as his presence out on the left is enough to force our opponents to defend differently in order to account for him.

Very sad for Ali as it might be a serious enough injury for a player of Ali's age to call it a day.

I hope not as he deserves to go out on a high with the crowd chanting his name!

For clubs like us this is a fear that we wouldn't want a pivotal player that can change the game at any given time he's been a bloody good signing, hope its not that bad

Does anyone know If hes out for rest of season. Just asking as If he is out for the season and If not resigning him or hes not carrying on isnt there a 12 week rule we can use to get the insurance to cover him.

It said in testers Wakey Express that he was likely to be out for most of the rest of the season.
I guess nobody knows for sure, but it would be handy to have him back sooner rather than later.

If he's gona be out longer than expected would we be able to afford a loan signing to cover

When Lauitiiti came to Leeds and we played them I was amazed by him, a top quality backrower - he had every skill set needed. Didn't he score a few trys against us?
When he signed for us I was over the moon seeing a great player week in and week out and even though he has piled on the pounds he is still class. He himself is entertaining great offloads, and moves pretty quick for a big lad! When hes on the field he lifts players around him one of the best SL imports.

Hope he comes back ok, a real entertainer and a lovely bloke as well.

Not sure where you get that he's piled on the pounds

Me neither, looks leaner and fitter for us than he did in his Leeds days IMO

He is abit bigger then he was...

He has been a great player for us and at times has got the rest of the players going just look at the final game of last season against Cas he was full of it getting the others going that day.I know that MC said it looked like it would be his last season as he and his family look to go home but It would be a sad day if we could not give him a rousing send off for his contribution to the club.Lets all hope its not as bad as thought and he can play a part even later in the season.
Good luck big lad get well soon.

Hope he stays for another season but if he says no are we looking at paying out his contract and getting in a replacement? Or maybe a decent centre coming in stead? www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... -1-6594414
