Latu Fainu #282

[GNR4LIFE]

He tried but like everyone apart from Doueihi was ineffective.

My point is more to the people saying he's gone better at 13 or coming off the bench that you can't compare this to those games.

13 isn’t where his future lies.

Wes Patten as well was tiny.

He was a live wire, though.

 

[stephen]

The jury is still out on whether he will be a better NRL 7,6 or 13

He's a 6, but we need a 7. So....

 

[stephen]

Playing behind a beaten forward pack, he had no time. Say all the negative shit you like about Lachy, but he never looks rushed like Latu did last night.

Because he's not playing behind a beaten forward pack?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Agreed. Moving him to lose by 30 instead of 60 is useless .
Get the reps under his belt.

It sucks but reality is our finals hopes are gone this year.

We are now playing to avoid the spoon and preparation for 26.

 

[stephen]

Just let the kid have the rest of this and half of next season in the halves. He needs stability & needs game time under his belt.

No one at the club is better than Luai & Latu in the halves.

Yep. It's really not that complicated.

His composure displayed in a wooden spoon side is why he has so many admirers.

Composure? Perhaps he was unaffected by outcomes as he wasn't invested in outcomes at WT. He was only ever carrying the weight of his own aspirations, not those of his team.

Leading Wests Tigers around is the biggest job in rugby league.

Wonder if Richo regrets saying that WT is an easier job than Souths.

 

[king_sirro]

Heart and skill

 

[Demps]

What a guy.

Breakout performance rly.
The roosters origin excuse won't fly, we had our 3 most important players out.

Latu is a gun.

 

[Ecto-1]

Galvin who

 

[upthetigers]

Latu and Katoa are the future

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Man of the match for me. So many key moments in defence that won us that game.

 

[weststigerman]

Great to see him outrun Tedesco and his hamstrings hold up.

Amazing in attack and defence.

 

[kiwitiger]

Has the world at his feet as lnog as his body holds together.

Outstanding from Latu today.
It has always been blatantly obvious he is an extremely talented and classy player, but there was a bit of a question mark surrounding his effort plays.
Today he not only demonstrated his power, speed, skill and toughness, but his effort plays were top class.
Absolutely brilliant performance and he is such a humble young man, someone every Wests Tigers fan can and should get behind.
We need more Fainu’s

Was there really a question mark around his effort plays? I've always seen an animal in him. I thought the only question mark came from injuries and people with absolutely no clue. This guy is a freak and Galvin knew Latu was better

 

[GNR4LIFE]

This is the guy they need to be renegotiating with now, not May.
