We'd have killed for him warts and all during most games in the last two seasons!

Draws attention to his penalty's are his arguing with ref each time, thats why think he's givern more away than he has.
But don't think we use him near the line as we should as a foil ,pulling players to him and every now and again giving him the ball to .
We all now what he's capable of near the line

Shortest memories on earth.

Far far more important is our centres being able to defend a one on one, whether that may be Yeaman or Hall. That has cost us far more than anything else this season.

I like him as a player!

Correct. That and being unable to take the high ball on the wing.

It must be difficult to contain your anger when elbowed in the face by somebody who should be in jail right now.

In my opinion of course.

Agree he has anger issues but thats what makes him such an explosive player, but he doesnt get the protection he needs from the refs. Got several serious bangs to the head on friday and i heard he dint come back on because he had concussion!

and dont forget the cowards punch by lovecock in the 32nd minute on him as well.

Get off your high horses and defend him.

He's what we,ve needed in years. period

Me too...glad he is on our side and not playing against us...I reckon he will become a fans favourite in time.

Quite.

Lauaki may have some issues giving away the odd penalty, but not as many as some seem to think. The Derby was a bit of a blip where that was concerned due to Rovers tactics and the ref's inability to spot them.

Despite wishing he could be a little smarter with his aggression there's no doubt in my mind that he's a net asset to the side. Opposition teams spend a lot of time and effort trying to contain him and that allows other players more freedom to play.

Tackle busts for clarity mean a player been bounced off in the tackle and is different to clean breaks. Lauaki often pushes one man away and then gets mobbed by another 3 without making yards. That would class as a tackle bust.

TBH I think he already is. Just because there's a certain amount of frustration about one or two possibly daft pens doesn't mean that people don't like him or can't see the advantages he brings.

He has done a couple of class busts though hasn't he, do you consider his tries as that because I would, maybe wrong though

You are right, there will be times Agar puts him on knowing he will give the penalties away, however he also knows he will ruffle the opposition and potentially change a game...Training kids learns you the biggest asset you have is if the kid has aggression, you cannot teach it, it is the biggest asset the kid has, we just then teach them core skills.
I think Hame is great, my heart misses beats when he comes on because I do not know what he is going to do...priceless
