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!). Apologies if it comes in poor quality. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have a photograph of it, but that reminds me of when Leroy Joe dropped Warren Stevens with a single punch, or as Leroy later put it "hit his off button" Quote 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
