Epalahame Lauaki still thinks of his brother every time he laces up the boots JACKSON THOMASSTUFFFormer Warrior and brother of the late Sione Lauaki, Epalahame Lauaki talks to Stuff about where his life is at post professional football. The shock of his passing hit younger brother Epalahame Lauaki hard, who spent his entire life looking up to his "superhero" brother. Epalahame Lauaki walked out on his UK Super League contract early, and headed home in 2017 citing personal reasons, after learning of his brother's deteriorating health. Both Sione and Epalahame Lauaki loved rugby and rugby league, always had. Now 34, Epalahame Lauaki will go around "one more time" with the Bears and attempt to bring the Fox memorial Trophy back to the Glenora club rooms for the second time in three years.
