thought he was a liability today, he seems very easy for the opposition to wind up, cost us the game imo, giving away a penalty that led to their winning try, (whilst i agree that horne and washy were not upto it), we were in a winning position at that point, now we could lose him for the harlequins game, time for moa to step up

totally agree.

His only contribution today was the 3 or 4 penalties he gave away. he set up at least 2 of their try's with the yards he gifted them.

he also gifted huddersfield their try last week.

He is a good player but there is no point us raving about him making a 20 metre bust when he is giving away more yards than he is making

It needs sorting, controlled agression like o'meley shows is what is needed

Needs to avoid getting wound up, I am sure he will. He is the sort of player that will be a bit hot and cold but he will get better as the season goes on imo.

With this type of player you have to take the rough with the smooth. He just needs to get smarter and hopefull the more experienced players will help him.

i cought a bit of argars interview after the game. Im sure agar was talking about lauaki but not 100% and he said...... he is a very emational guy and the guy is in the dressing room blaming himself. or somthing along them lines.

Im sure he will come good

I dont get the chance to see the games down here but I saw Tonga V Kiwis a few months ago and
Lauaki was getting himself involved off the ball a few too many times and the Kiwis started to wind him up.
No doubt he is 100% commited, he just doesnt know how to control it properly. I'm sure it will come, perhaps Fitz
is the man to help him, he seems very "Zen" like.

Agar mentioned in the post match interview that luauaki was a "nice fella" or along those lines, but they have to sort his discipline out sometime,

Agar needs to take him to one side and have a quiet (and proffesional) word with him imo.

still, looking on the bright side, his presence should ensure we don't win the fair play award this year

What happened pitch side when he came off?

Hame will either be: Villain or Hero, that is the way it will be..

saw him after the game and he looked gutted about it or maybe he was thinking what a stupid idea it was to wear flip flops in minus 5 degrees.

we were sat 10 yards from him on the half way line and I have to say i was gobsmacked as he started effing and jeffing at some crusaders fans that were giving him some banter and then stuck his middle finger up at the stand!!
I would not be surprised if he gets a warning from the club over this as certain club officials were not happy about shall we say which was plain to see!!
not professional Hame , shouldnt do that mate!!

Fitz made his views perfectly clear to him while they were under the posts waiting for the conversion of the last Crusaders try!
