Lafai had one great game in 2014 up at AAMI park in the semi's and people make it out like he tore the opposition'S apart during the 2014 season.
He was always behind Inu and has not excelled at all since hitting first grade.
It is time for Lafai and Perrett to move on and give the younger guys a shot if we cannot replace them with some other seasoned first graders
Just some stats:
Averaged an offload a game @ 26 for the year
Averaged 11.5 runs a game for a return of 105 meters per game ~ 9.1 meters per run
Averaged 3.6 Tackle Breaks a game @ 96 for the year which means he beat a man 32% of the time
Tackled at 87% efficiency for the year
Laid on 13 Assists and 14 Tries including 2 Hat Trick games making him directly responsible for 108 of our points (discounting conversions), now I'm not sure if you watched much of 2014 but we were the worst attacking team by far only putting up 76 tries in the season = 304 points. Therefore Lafai was catalyst for 35% of our try scoring production.
Compare both Walker and Hopoate at their best and it's clear that Lafai is the superior player (when he's in form)
Now if we were talking about getting James Roberts......
I'd still prefer to swap Perrett
