Grand final participants would be a start.

TA told you how it is! That's why your post was guff. Where has anyone said bailey is the best meter maker of defensive prop in SL? Bailey is a important cog in a team that is good at winning championships.
What do you think Lauaki will bring to Wigan? I think he will struggle to get a game if you squad stays fit.

If we can get him fit and install the right mentality, he'll give us a new option like Lauatiti did for you, a new dimension, an attacking, running, skillful forward. Im convinced that unless Wigan see huge potential in him we wouldn't have signed him on a 3 year deal.

| By May he will be a fans favourite and all the nay sayers will be all over him like he was the second coming, just like they have done with others over the years.

Like Gareth Hock? I just don't see the need at all, we've got a strong running + offloading second rower who has problems with discipline, and he just happens to be a lot better than Lauaki anyway!

Mr Boogie one of my Fave posters who much did you enjoy the Rhinos GF victory!

| The fact that your coach actually went looking for this signing, would indicate to me that he will feature in the 17 right from the off.

Lauaki hasnt, even at his best, been in the same league as Ali, even over the last couple of years when Injuries have clearly hampered him. I dont even think they are a similar type of player, Lauaki is closer to Hock than he is to Ali.
Lauaki will probably look good in comfortable wins for Wigan, but he will be a liability in close games. I cant see Lauaki being any more integral to Wigan than Cross was, or Moore will be to Leeds.
I cant imagine that Lauaki was 'a target', but like Moore at Leeds he is probably the best you could get, for the squad place you wanted, with the money you are willing to sacrifice on your SC.

I just let that one go mate! It's totally lost on the pies that Ali is Leeds all time and SL's most successful over seas signing.

I'd say that's pretty close to my feelings on the singing. Well all except that lauatiti is a great player anyway

I can only assume from this assessment that you feel Sam Backo is the greatest overseas signing of all time.
