He has openly said he loves club and owes them everything. Was almost in tears as he said it. don't think he has an issue with it. Its just the fans who do.

I can see Benji sticking to a plan with Latu. If he is fragile mentally, coming good from injury or just conditioning. I have no idea if any of this is true as other posters have indicated.
But imo if Latu goes to Benji and affirms he wants to start in the halves I actually believe Benji would make it happen

We have the bro culture at the club and Latu is a big part of that. Benji would love to select him. He is one of his guy's.

but but but latu is quoted he loves the club and benji....
if his brother doesnt sign THEN he may leave
As of right now Sam is HiS meal ticket at the Tigers.
If he didnt have a brother who is a gun second rower in Sam he would not even be in the running for nrl halves spot at present
Give Andrews a go at 6

Maybe you should pass this on to Benji.
He was outstanding!
I think he needs a crack at a halves starting spot before the season ends. Happy enough for him to get a couple of state cup games first but things need to change.

I wonder if it’s a case of him and Andrew’s combining really well. Every time they play with each other they seem to get better and better
Would love to see them both in NRL at some stage

It's gives me hope that Hope being withdrawn from Cup today means it will be a Lanyon/Hope dummy half rotation now.
Latu & Andrews need to be sold the halves by Benji for 2028 if we are going to have any hope for success long-term.

Id start them next week. AD to go get his shoulder fixed, Luai rested or at hooker.
7. Latu
6. Andrews
That would give us some excitement for the rest of the year
Have said since day 1 of him coming we need to develop and play him in the halves.
Benji has stuffed it up. We need to stop making him play hooker it lock - it isn’t his spot and never will be.
If he isn’t playing halves at NRL don’t play him ag NRL level. I also think he should start next year / end of this year and AD should shift, this makes way for Latu to get cracking as halfback and then Andrews the year after / cover for Luai.

Interesting that Andrews is wearing the 7 and Latu the 6. Both absolute guns! Our future is safe if we get their development right.18K views · 207 reactions | Fainu 🤝 Andrews Watch LIVE on Bar TV Sports 📺 #NSWCup #KOECup | NSW Cup

Everyone seems to forget Latu has averaged 10 games a season over 3 years. That isn't alot of footy.
Off topic, Galvin knew that Latus future was going to be in the halves. Galvin also knew the club planned to move him into a #13 role (referenced it in an interview where he said he'd fight it as long as he could).
Its been a timing issue.
It turns out Galvins decision to leave is probably dumb as dog shit, because the spine could have been:
1. Bula
6. Latu / Javon
7. Javon / Latu
9. TBC (if Haywood is ready in 2 years maybe)
13. Galvin
This persistence with Galvin at 7 at the Dogs has me wondering if it's built into his contract he has to play in the halves.
Anyway, if Latu keeps up this level of performance then Benji will have no choice.
