Ali Lauitiiti
Born: 13 July 1979, Auckland, New Zealand
Position(s): Second row
Squad number: 14
Previous clubs: Mangere East, New Zealand Warriors
First team debut: v Salford, 28 May 2004
Lauititi is a man who knows what it's like to be in demand. Having scored 33 tries in 115 NRL appearances for New Zealand Warriors, no fewer than 14 clubs clamoured for him when his contract came up. Luckily for Leeds, they came out on top and Lauititi has been doing the job since then, even scoring five off the bench in one game against Wakefield. Jamie Jones-Buchanan takes his shirt number for this season, Lauititi dropping down to 14, but that will only serve as bigger motivation for a mammoth season.
Rhinos appearances: 83 (40 as sub)
Rhinos tries: 30
Rhinos goals: 0
Rhinos points: 120
