GAHHHH apparently Mason will be 5/8 again this weekend

not starting latu is costing us games 🤦🏻‍♀️

Benji gave earth indication that Latu would come off the bench again. He’s being slowly built up to 80 mins.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Wow, imo that’s a big call, unless Benji still not convinced young Fainu is fit enough to last more than 40 minutes or so. Perhaps Mason might move to full back if Bula not performing- just a thought.

Absolutely not. He’s atrocious under the high ball.

interesting Joey johns sees Latu as a 7 long term , he only saw LG as a 5/8.

I don't really see either being a natural 7.

LG is far too focused and energetic. I could see him even being a NR1 and trimming down to be a fullback Latrell or GI style. He is a hog and doesn't think team.

Latu I don't see as being dominant enough as a half. He has better timing and better wait for the opportunity. He isn't a leader though and he isn't playing for 80 at the moment. Benji is doing right though in building him up.

TDS not ready to play 9 as a starter, the big boys run over him but in attack he is good.
I wish he would bide his time behind Api, but he wants the cash and a starting spot. Can't fault him for that, but we want wins now. Benji could potentially be using his bench better which might of swayed TDS to sit back and wait.
There are not many teams where he starts the game, he will have to wait on the sideline and maybe get 20-25 minutes a game for probs the next 18 months, so why not do that at the Tigers

What does it say for the rest of our team getting run over week to weak?

I think I'd prefer we stick someone else at 6 for the 20-30 minutes: Doeuihi or even start TDS and have Api at half.

Mason is just too much of a liability in defence.

Douhei is too important for our defence in the centres...

Agree on mason though, but I think we suck up the 20-30mins and wait for Latu..

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

The bank doesn't care what you think. It's not a perfect world. That's important too.

Joey is the king of the #7 jersey.
We should be bringing him in to do 1:1 coaching with Latu.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Yeh. Fix all our problems.

would be a dream to have that

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

For you. For Joey. I'm sure he'd give it a pass.

I would have said the same but we lost the game in the first 30 minutes last week when we kept Mason on.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Or we lost the game in the last minute.

The way some people and Benji included talk about our starting line up, you would think we have a team full of superstars who are undefeated on top of the ladder.

Yep, basically said it in the presser.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Thank You Vicious. Are you disdained a little that people on this forum put you down cause you speak the truth and have evidence to support your reality.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Yep, basically said it in the presser.

Who is pressing you?

 

[Kelce68]

Speaking of Latu, the thought of he and Katoa teaming up for Tonga at some point in the next few years must be mouth-watering for them.

I wish we could team them up at Wests Tigers.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

I wish you could put as much thought into your life as you do theirs.

Wests Tigers getting the wooden soon every year is starting to cause me trauma, is it not effecting you AHX ?
