[QUOTE="Flux, post: 221360"] I actually despise the guy. He's trouble off and on the field. Unlike Ma'a Nonu it doesn't seem like being dropped a few times has helped him improve as a player or a person. His handling is poor, and he constantly goes into the tackle too high, which means he turns the ball over nine times out of ten. To put it bluntly, he turns the ball over more than anything else. When he's good, he's good, but he's far too inconsistent. He's a completely self-centred player, which means if he has an off day the whole team suffers because he doesn't pass the ball. Again, Nonu has learnt from his mistakes, Lauaki hasn't. If anyone saw the Taranaki-Waikato match tonight, you probably would have seen him come in with a late shoulder charge on Jayden Hayward which left Hayward on the ground convulsing and coughing up blood. I hope he gets banned for this (along with his yellow card) so we are saved the hassle of having him pulling on the black jersey again. After the first match against Aus this year Lauaki put in a performance that should never see him pull on an All Black jersey ever again. Not even Rodney So'oialo's game against the Springboks in 2006 was that bad. He's also a brute off the pitch. I think he's had two assault charges pressed against him? In short, I don't like him as a player or a person. I don't think I've ever disliked an All Black player so much. [/QUOTE]
