OFFICIAL Latu Fainu #282

[TurnStyle]

Didn't see much, but like others have said I'm just happy for him to get through a full 80 minutes.
This is the beginning... Let's hope it keeps going to the point where you don't instinctively flinch every tackle!

Thought Latu played his role well tonight as the more passive receiver. Contributed to a number of Tonga’s tries with some classy touches. Defended strongly & got through 80 mins albeit a little bit of cramping. But placed on report for a high shot on Conti, didn’t look much in it but he needs to be careful.

Was Conti the Lebonese half?
I thought he outplayed Latu. Latu did bugger all in attack.
Not holding my breath for him being our halfback savior.
Under instructions to just shovel it out? He did that well.

Conti looked good.

Latu wasn't under pressure to over play his hand against Lebanon.

Latu is a cracker of a half. I'm really looking forward to 2027.

Conti played on the ball half, as did lolohea.
Latu played 6 and did his job without overplaying his hand. Good game and defensively strong.

Did they really drop Latu for Lolohea?

That’s not a good sign.

I think that was to be expected after the game Lolohea had

To his credit he goes up a level when he plays for Tonga. It's like Dane Gagai when he used to play for Queensland, could be playing poor at club level but finds another gear representing his state (or country in Lolohea's case). Man Lolohea is a big what if in the NRL, he just couldn't put down the big macs.

Lolohea's days in the nrl where plagued by potential but no will to fulfill it

Definitely did well at not overplaying
