Latu Fainu #282

Did he get a hamstring injury while under suspension? Or did he have an injury and we still chose to challenge to suspension?

It's really hard to keep up enthusiasm for Latu. Sure, Benji has misused him, playing short minutes out of position.

But his constant hamstring injuries and his poor tackling technique look like combining through suspension and injury to missing the last 6 rounds of the season. Just when we need him to replace Doueihi.

That means in 3 seasons he'll have played just 35 games. Remembering that before the 2025 season he was sanctioned by the club for turning up out of shape after the pre season.

Latu is up for offers on the open market in November along with brother Samuela if Tigers don't extend them before then. Is he worth it? Do we have to keep him to keep Sam?

In fairness, this is the only injury Latu has endured this season following his recovery from post-season shoulder reco.

Us supporters are just burnt by history.

I read he stood on a tennis ball at training while under suspension. That’s how injury prone he is, as a matter of fact he’s our new Toa !
