That would depend if you are talking on reputation or current form. Lauaki was once called the best impact prop in the NRL by his then NZ Warriors captain Steven Price (a prop of considerable standing in the NRL). This year he has played second row all season.

Sam Moa's current form would suggest he isnt 'far' from a top quality impact prop but certainly still a work in progress but none the less showing some excellent form in a below par Hull team.

FWIW I would play Lauaki more as a prop for Hull especially on the firmer grounds.

HKR must have the finest recruitment in rugby league, they've never missed out on any targets.

Out of interest was Joel Clinton the number one choice for Rovers overseas signing for this year? The reason I ask is because a fair few rovers fans that I know seemed to think that a deal for Michael Crocker was imminent.

crocker was the first choice, hopefully they'll get him this off season.

I notice Crocker isnt getting much game time at Souths is this down to injuries?

He's finished mate, he had 3 or 4 opps pre season and is out indefinately.

I've no doubt he'll come back just before origin and get a call up then we won't see anything of him for the rest of the season.

Sounds like Hull got lucky with the whole visa fiasco then!

Makes a change.

Course not

Whether Rovers admit it or not or whether anyone on here believes it or not Rovers did go in for Moa. He took less money to stay with Hull. Rovers as a club wont admit that though.

Luaki aint a prop mate
