I thought Lauaki was poor for the most part tonight. A couple of decent runs backed up with atrocious passing and poor judgement.

When dowes gets spelled his quality is good never stops working will allways take it up or tackle but when he plays the full 80 he has to pace himself as do all props Graham being the exeption of course.

Dowes was really good and was Radford too although he tried to force the offload in silly positions at times.

It was also interesting to note Lauaki went far better at prop than in the backrow.

agree...everytime i see the guy he doesnt instill me with any confidence whatsoever..
for some reason he seems to have to throw wild and generally loose passes to his centre....poor judgemnt in defence at times...and always seems to be 3rd or 4th in the tackle. which was high-lighted by paul cullen who pin pointed that hulls defence gets caught napping at times due to the fact that we have 3 maybe 4 men in the tackle....a quick play the ball and were fooked,

not really , he just tends to stand up and be counted when others go missing so tires quicker than others...
As for Ewan he had a top game to be honest but he has played well all season , grafts his buster browns off and never shirks any work, rarely injured and still young..
and you know there are still those who "want rid" as they put it

Remember our conversation a week or two ago about Hame and his future ??
