Epa Lauaki

Post by AdamMac »

Will we see him again?

To be honest I wouldn't bat an eye lid if we didn't. He was only ever steady in his first season with us & never looked like the 'enforcer' that wane wanted him to be.

Something fishy here though. As far as i'm aware he 'felt his thigh' when warming up at half time during our pre season game at warrington. Nothing since has been said and we're yet to see him 3 months later.

Again pretty much what I said on another post, get rid, big soft a** in my opinion.

Ive just asked on another thread can anyone tell me what is wrong with him as he had a slight strain before one of the pre season friendlies and he's not been seen since. Not that i would miss him either.

To be fair Adam I don't dislike him as a player, but he has certainly not been the 'enforcer' we had hoped, against the big boys he goes missing, against the lesser teams he does a job. Certainly not in my top 4 props at the club.

To be honest i've always fancied him more as a back rower. In the solomona style, but defensively out wide he can get exposed as he's not that mobile.

Almost a luxury player to play short spells with an off loading game that can hurt teams in the centres.

Yes I see that.

I'm just a fan commenting on a player in the squad, who to my knowledge, hasn't had a serious injury & has missed 3 months of the season. So are you, No Straw, saying this is more mental than physical?
