[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 595249, member: 43875"] Luatua is big and fast but seems to go down relatively easy when tacklers get hold of him. His strength is his speed and work rate. On defense he is about Volume rather than stopping power and on attack hes more likely to hit a gap than bust through another player. more like an Adam Thomson than a Kaino/Messam I think you under rate Luke, ive seen him do good things with ball in hand and make big tackles genuinely stopping guys in their tracks. The advantage Luatua has is that we have seen a heck of a lot more of him than he have of Luke or Shields. Going to be an interesting battle between them over the next 6-8 years. Could see Luke or Shields move to 8, we seem to develop a heck of a lot more talented #6s than we do #8s [/QUOTE]
