Do you think having them would make a massive difference?



I think that although they are class our team is so lacking in other areas they will hardly make a difference....



Thoughts?

They're two internationals.



'Nuff said.

So are Chris Thorman and Lee Radford...

i think they will make a big difference..some players presence on a pitch can have a positive effect..Crocker is on of these players..I also believe it will give us more options, also lets not forget Raynor and others will be back soon..things may get better very soon

Haven't seen enough of Laukiki but believe he's a big lad, which is something we lack. We also need ball players, hardly any footballers in the side. Don't see Crocker as this sort of player, more graft and support. Can see where the post comes from, if we could hypothetically trade both for a top class scrum half, we surely would.

Given the losing margins (Saints excepted) have been so small, it's quite possible. Chuck in Tony, Raynor, even Byrne, maybe the games we've lost by 1, 4, 7 points might have turned out differently. Wouldn't solve our 5 drives & a kick tactics and lack of creativity though.

Normally I'm really positive about things but at the moment I'm begining

To start thinking we have a bit of a warrington problem but without the quality players.

Yes.



Whilst I agree we are lacking in other areas these two will both make a huge difference imo.



When we had good seasons in 05 & 06 our game was based on our forwards bending the oppositions line and us getting on the front foot it's the only game plan we've had for a few years now and Lauaki will give us that go forward.



We're seriously lacking leaders at our club and Crocker will fill that role for me. Nothing short of 100% is acceptable to him.



All we'll need then is a top 7 a big strong centre and jobs a good un.

Don't know about Lauaki but Crocker has a reputation for going around kicking the backsides of team mates who aren't pulling their weight. So from that point of view he'd have a positive effect....On his first day he'll be like "my god, what a choice!"

If Crocker brings nothing else he will bring enthusiasm and a massive will to win, and will kick our lazy ar$es into gear.

I also think it will lift Berro as it did when Dykes was here, he needs to have someone at his level.

dont think crocker or lauakai will make us better at all tbh
