Old chap who does the wigan rl lotto told me two weeks ago we were after a samoan for next year but he couldn't remember his name.

I think Lauaki is a Tongan?.

Hopfully it was SamMoa he meant.

I know that

I was infering that it may have been the name Sam Moa, as opposed to his country of Origin. Hence the uppercase "M"

Nah. Not once he's linked to Wigan. He then becomes a superstar.

For the record - he's crap.

Re: Lauaki to Wigan : Wed Jul 20, 2011 2:08 pm  

When I have seen him he has occasionally impressed me, the issue i have is that he does not fit into the mould of the type of Prop we should be looking at going forward, while i all for changing ethos Madge if it is given justification, Madge has brought in a style of longer minutes Props. He has a hell of a lot of power but seems to struggle with mobility in defence, this seems to be a major issue with Props who struggle in SL.

Personally I would rather have taken Cross on for a further year than risk Lauaki.
