He's not going to please everyone with his approach but he definately brings that extra aggression that we've been lacking. This gives all of the players around him a lift too.
I would rather not win the fair play award but finish top 3!
The other view on this is that refs often even up a penalty count every game anyway, if we give 2 away for fighting rather than offside what does it matter anyway. |

Exactly. And the fighting option is one hell of a lot more fun to watch. |

Indeed. People also forget that sometimes a bit of aggression lifts the performance of the entire team. (and also with a pack like ours next year there aint gonna be many scraps we come off 2nd best)  |

Lauaki's going to be a loose cannon for sure, but knowing there's some aggression coming on from the bench and that opposition teams might not look forward to it is a step on from this season. |

It certainly lifts the crowd too which is no bad thing. |

For me Lauaki's aggression is something we have been missing for too long since Kearney who added abut of grit & steel. Too many games we have been a soft touch and the opposition have bossed us. Lauaki for me will no doubt give away some penalties but no more than Thackray or Carvell did however the physical presence will be much more of a positive to the team than a negative.

We are going to love it next year, after the handbags on Friday the crowd was on its feet chanting 'we are hull, we are hull', best atmosphere in ages. |

Precisely. Hull's support is at its best when there is plenty of pride and passion to get behind. Mix that in with having some characters in the side to 'worship'  and you have potentially got the recipe for getting the support right back behind the team. If Moa signs then the Tongan mafia certainly ticks those boxes. |

I might open a Tongan supermarket in West Hull. Should make a fortune!! |
