Epalahame Lauaki: Will play in the NRL for Manly Sea Eagles
Manly Sea Eagles have announced the signing of former Wigan and New Zealand forward Epalahame Lauaki.
Lauaki was released by the Warriors last month after a five-year spell in England which also saw him play for Hull FC.
The 30-year-old had a year left on his contract with Wigan but asked to leave the club in order to return home for personal reasons.
"Lauaki will join the club on a one-year deal and will add some much needed experience and depth to the Sea Eagles forward pack following the retirement of Richie Fa'aoso earlier in the year," a Manly spokesman said.
