Lauaki was pretty rubbish but at least he provided us with some great comedy moments. The fight with Burrow, the attempted Tombstone Piledriver on Peter Fox (or was it Shaun Briscoe?) and who could forget the time that Radford told the ref that he couldn't speak English?

I just took a screen shot of the video.... the moment Burrow landed his right cross (although with the size difference it was more of an uppercut!).

Dunbar Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 One of my favourite ever moments in Rugby League was Mike Gregory running away from Wally Lewis to score in the 1988 3rd test (with a jogging Martin Offiah next to him). 13 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.
