Not sure we’d find a suitor for bud - it worked for Harry Grant. He’d obviously have to agree on the proviso he’s back in 2026.

Grant’s case is a bit different.
The club loaning him is one of the best ever and won the GF the year he was with us.
He’d be an idiot not to want to go back to them, especially as Cam also retired whilst he was with us.

Yeah definitely different circumstances I agree.

If you get it written in stone and he gets developed in say the Roosters system for a year I could see it being a win win.

Yeah a contract amendment would have to be bomb proof…you screw us and accidents will befall your brothers at training…
Seriously though, I’d prefer he forms tight bonds and playing relationships with our next gen coming through right here.

Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see how this year plays out. Obviously you’d rather have him there for the inevitable injuries. The thought pattern was swapping him for a reliable middle or second rower but that’d obviously be a challenge to arrange.

I don’t agree.
Latu is our 7 or is not in first grade.
This kid needs to play 20+ games next year as a 7, no matter where.

I'm just saying Fainu goes to the starting team. Nothing more, nothing less. It would be Luai and Fainu in whatever combination.

If you have strong opinions on his position, that's another discussion.

Idk why everyone is so keen to play latu out of position where he can’t develop. Let him play cup, let either hope or bird be 14, someone who doesn’t have the label and expectations of being a longterm, generational half

I'm not keen on anything. That's where the coach is playing him.

Um because we are all hoping (Benji included) that we can have both Galvin and Latu in the team for years to come. At the moment, the best way that can happen is if Latu plays that ball playing lock role. Defensively and skill wise he does that with ease. In fact he would be our best front on defender.

If we play him in reserve grade waiting for Galvin to either make up his mind or build up for the backrow he will be lost to us.

So that's why.

So you reckon latu would rather abandon his brothers and the potential legacy of steering our shithouse of a club to a premiership and forming one of the best halves pairings in the NRL, all because he jumped to conclusions in an offseason

In an off season, what are u talking about? Your saying to play him at 6 in reserve grade. That's not one off season, it's a season. If he spends 2025 in reserve grade and Galvin extends he is gone. He will have offers left right and centre.

Idk if it was you or not and I cbf to check, but people were saying he should walk
 
Latu to play lock but absolutely no chance of centre.

I don't get that narrative.

If there is one spot that has pretty minimal competition- it's that spot that either Doueihi fills or Turuva fills with Charlie Staines playing.

Latu wouldn't do worse than either.

I'll say it again- Fittler, Daley, Burton...all started in the centres.
