| Quote: Amadeo Avogadro "I don't think he's anywhere near as bad as you're making out. He's not as good as Manu, but not many are. He's highlighted by opposition coaches as a danger man, and as someone it might be good to wind up. Because of this, when he gets the ball he comes in for heavier treatment than most.
That being said, he causes defences to worry, breaks the line quite regularly (not as frequently as Manu, granted), and is capable of a decent off load. He has his faults (short temper, big mouth, prone to the odd error), but on the whole I'd rather he was with us than against us.'"
Neatly summed up.

I value Radfords work ethic. Lauaki gives us neither a work ethic or the channelled aggression we need.

Why have you taken against him so badly? That's the second time you've accused him of acting like a big kid when there's a total absence of evidence of him doing any such thing.'"
I've based that on expro talking about his lack of confidence and feeling hard done to by the officials. Feeling hard done to isnt the way a professional RL player should react to been targetted by officials imo.

Do they need to put much effort in to tackle him?

i would say so. Been as his metres per carry are well over a metre more than willi manu's! also one of only 5 forwards in tackle busters top 25! that includes Demetriu who's played a lot in the backs. Really not getting this hame bashing. Good hands,good footwork,strong,bit of an offload,can even kick the ball!(think we've had 2 drop outs off him kicking)and he aint the penalty machine he made out to be. A bit dumb at times though! All thats needed is for it to all come together. Reason it hasn't as much as it should is more to do with how the team been playing around him and using him!

He's not actually said that, your blind spot on this subject has led you to extract that. What he's said is that he (expro) feels that Lauaki's being singled out, and that Lauaki has been told by refs he is being watched which has affected his confidence to play aggressively. Not unreasonable points.

Many amateurs have good work ethics, doesn't mean we should offer them a contract. It's an admirable trait but not one which absolves a player from criticism.
FWIW I rate Radford as a good player, but nowhere near the level you seem to. He's had some absolute stinkers over the past couple of years which you choose to ignore.
