How rude to even ask that in the 1st place?

Not really. He might not have spoken English. And if he didn't, what's the point in lecturing him?!

But he fell for it from Radford and made himself look stupid. (And me!)

Hasn't he just had to prove he could to get his visa?

Yep, you do that and see him spend 10 or more minutes on the bench. And thats not subbing.

TBF thats Lauakis 3rd game in a year and he is clearly not fully match fit. However he gives us some impact without a doubt and a nice pair of hands to boot.

Defensively unsure but prob down to fitness and attacking wise 2 of the 3 Briscoe tries in the last 2 games are down to Lauaki.

Think he came on in the second row as King and Moa was the props on the bench.

Wasn't it his long pass to whiting whicj led to briscoe's 2nd try?

Wasted at prop

100% correct mate and like it or not I think our illustrious coach agrees

I dont think he was at prop when he released Whiting to draw his man (as I would expect) to release Briscoe. Whatever we think Hame has been used wide out at times so far.

I know he has been used in the 2nd row mainly but currently we have 4 fit props in the squad. Next season we only have:

cusack
dowes
o'meley

As specialist props currently signed up, whereas we have:

tickle
fitz
radford
washy
burnett
manu
lauaki
turner
whiting

who are all considered back rowers

I think fitz, radford and lauaki will spend time at prop

Moa is a must if Lauaki is going to played in the back row. We need some impact in the props.

i think lauaki is a fat,lazy michael smith who will defo get sent off in the derby when newton runs round him for his hat-trick try!
