Let's hope Latu can bring some x factor into the nrl squad once he makes the move. Just hope we didn't pay massive overs. Hope he develops and can become our long term 5/8.Time will tell.

Yes good news but let's wait until official although Weidler unlikely to tweet without confirmation.

As @liltiger said, it'll only be good recruitment if we didn't pay massive 'overs' as the managers for Bula, Galvin, Faagutu will come with their guns drawn.

We can go on about how Simpkin won't reach the peak or how embarrassing it is for a parent to berate the club on social media but I think a lot of the frustration is more around how WT are maybe releasing these guys. With the poor culture ingrained in the club and sub-standard management, I wouldn't be surprised if there is very little care in kicking a player to the kerb once they no longer fit into plans...

I hear what you are stating but it's professional sport. Players get cut and traded all the time in professional sport. It's what professional sports clubs do.

If we've signed the Fainu kids I'm stoked until they don't perform next year but that is a year of optimism.
 
Massive coup if it's true !!! I just want to plead with the fans to let Latu develop on his own & not place massive pressure & expectations on the kid too early. I have no doubt that Brooks being hailed as the next Andrew Johns before he even made his debut has played a part in how his career has ended up.

Players that age are going to have some great games & then there's going to be games where he overplays his hand & makes a few mistakes... it's all apart of being a young half as currently being seen with Isaiya Katoa from The Dolphins.

Braith reckons fainu won’t be in first grade ready next year so I imagine he’s a 2025 prospect

2025.
1 . Bula
6. Fainu
7. ?
9. Api

If he is here they are going to play him. He is much more hyped than Bula was and he has reserve grade experience and he will be getting paid big dollars.

2024.
1 . Bula
6. Fainu
7. Sezer
9. Api

--> It'll probably fall to pieces but they might perform.

Seconding this. Some Luke Brooks scars will quickly be opened again if he doesn't get off to a flyer. Patience please...

Can you shed some light @barnzee on why the club is such a 'shit show'. Not having a go, just interested from your perspective. Most on here agree to various degrees on the poor decision-making of the chairman, board & CEO and want a professional review to advise on areas that need change and what these can be.
