Lauaki looked a monster at times tonight, great try, some big hits and what a run!

Its early days of course, but he certainly made some people on here look like idiots for writing him off so soon.

I was the main one in saying he shouldnt have started due to his pre season and i still stand by that but he took his chance tonight with some awsome runs.

You were wrong. He did fine at Sheffield and his defensive line speed in that game was outstanding. Tonight he did exactly what he is being employed to do. Great performance from the lad.

How can a opinion be wrong ?

Going from the pre season he shouldnt have been in the squad. Thats my opinion. Having said that he attacked very well tonight.

Good job your opinion wasn't shared by the coach then.

Early contender for man of steel

Leon Pryce you have just met the Tongan Mafia.

We should have some calling cards made up.

Hull's pack looks simply awesome. Lauaki's strength was immense. The hand off on Pryce was comedy gold as well as resulting in a great forward's try, the tackle to hold up Graham over the line was nothing short of heroic, and his run across half the length of the pitch or so was classy. If he shows that form every week you've got one hell of a player.

Add that to Manu, Fitzgibbon, Tickle and co. with Long running the show and you will not be easy to beat this season... good luck for the rest of it, still a long way to go of course but there's a lot of promise for a great 2010 for Hull FC.

Fantasic going forward, his try was amazing as was the run.

His defence looked strong, his tackle on Graham showed so much strenght.

The good thing for Hull is that we dont have to rely on Manu as much as Lauaki will get better as the season goes on.

He's a monster just hope he keeps it up
