Lafai

While I think that Aitken shields Lafai from criticism in here, I suspect that Lafai is about to take a bullet for Aitken.

I think Mary is feeling enough pressure to drop one centre. I’m getting the feeling it’s going to be Lafai.
Remember that McGregor is comfortable feeling uncomfortable.
After 6 years, he feels no pressure, no embarrassment, no regard for results.
Just happy in the fact that he is living the dream after extension II

Both terms are appropriate under the same circumstance.

Yeah you’re right, very elementary stuff.
Not at all.

Hypocrisy is chastising someone for behaviours which you exhibit yourself.

Irony is trying to come across as smart but using the wrong word and in turn looking stupid.

Aitken and Lafai should have been gone years ago.

Anyone of Herbert, Marsters, Garrick and Lomax could have taken their place but were never properly developed.

At the same time, other clubs have introduced the likes Xerri, Ramien, Naden to replace incumbent centres not deemed good enough.

So what’s a guy to do if he can’t coach a replacement? He has to stick with the rubbish already there.

This has been going on for 5 years now.

If they are going to dump one of our centres it should be Aitken, Lafaii can produce the goods but we have been waiting a long time
Mary will never play two inexperienced in the centers

Lafai has some skill, there’s no doubting it. He’s a decent defender too. But is just too damn slow and horribly inconsistent. At his age he isn’t going to get any better. It time to move on and look to the future.

Aitken and Mary have a few things in common but the most telling is that they are both thick as a brick.

St George Illawarra Dragons centre Tim Lafai has been arrested after allegedly smashing up his home during a domestic dispute over not spending enough time with his children.

Neighbours called police after hearing loud noises coming from the 29-year-old’s home south of Wollongong around lunch time on Good Friday.

Officers will allege they arrived shortly after 1pm and were met by Lafai’s wife Jacqui who said she had not been physically assaulted but the pair had argued over Lafai wanting to train in his home gym with a friend rather than spend time with his children.

Lafai allegedly “started yelling and punching walls with his fist” prompting a neighbour to call police, a police source told The Sunday Telegraph.

Police allegedly spoke to Lafai who said the argument resulted in him going downstairs to “release some frustration”.

There was no evidence of damage so the officers left, only to be called back a short time later by another family member who allegedly said Lafai was “smashing up his house and being aggressive”.

There’s no suggestion Lafai had been violent towards his family.

When police arrived they allegedly found Lafai laying down on the back veranda with his wife and others trying to keep him calm.

Police alleged Lafai had red marks on his forehead and blood on his knuckles and extensive damage to the home, including numerous holes “that had been punched through the interior walls”.

Police served Lafai with an apprehended violence order and no charges were laid.

The Samoan international who played five seasons with Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs before joining the Dragons, made headlines in 2016 when he was allegedly involved in a drunken brawl in Wollongong. He was issued infringement notices for “continuing intoxicated behaviour”.

A the time reports said Lafai was heavily intoxicated and allegedly running around with his shirt off. He and the other Dragons player had left a nearby nightclub before the brawls.

If that’s what you believe, the word you should have used was hypocrisy.

Come on man, this is basic stuff..
Come on Man???? - I knew it - you are a Biden supporter (jokes lang)

Sorry I like Sleepy Joe but this is funny ........

If only he showed that much aggression on the field.

Yeah, agree.
Re the article though
... to call this Plod a ‘star’ is an insult to elite players FFS

He’s just missing close contact with Waterboy & leaking tries with Turnstile

He was only ever Hasler’s hospital pass to McSucker

...and we instead lose our Gerringong boy who scores 16 tries, makes the Prime Minister’s X111, & represents Australia in the 9’s in his first year away from a Waterboy who was slow wanking in unison with Lafai & a slothful Board while the kid rotted in CC
