You can put a spin on it all you like but Lauaki and Powell were poor signings for Wigan.
Wane is an amazing coach and most of his signings have been excellent and he usually knows how to get the best out of players, but he isn't perfect and can make poor signings like any other coach. I have a feeling that this one could be another.
Lauaki was a far from poor signing, i know hull fans don't like to believe it but he was a good player for Wigan. other than the 2 brain farts against warrington that everybody loves to remember he was quite a solid player.
Powell looked like he could be a great signing but i guess you can't scout for mentality, he basically gave up because he said it was to hard and he picked up a neck injury.
Struggling to remember a poor signing from Shaun, you say the two above i would agree Powell was but that was more down to mentality. People used to say Gelling was useless and we had signed a dud but look at him now.
The more i have watch Tauti on highlights the more I am impressed because its not the usually loads of shoulder charges and massive runs its more solid hard work.
again another player who looked like he would be good once he learned the game.
