Sullivan has been hooked both times he started for being ineffective and a turnstile in defence. Latu should get minutes against the Dolphins.

How did Latu play in the Knock On Effect Cup on the weekend .. ?? I hear he only played 40 mins .. ?? I know we won 32 - 26 over Parra in this game .. another great comeback from the Magpies by the reports.

We didn't have much possession when he was on, but he didn't have his best game. One bomb from his 30 that only went to Parra's 30 and another kick charged down. Defensively terrific though.
Surprised they're going to debut him given his lack of minutes.
Well he's played more reserve grade than Galvin had. I'm just going to enjoy this madness while it lasts. Maybe we'll keep hitting double sixes.

Yeah I suppose we debuted Bula straight from injury and worked alright. Happy to back the coaches.

Will be playing with his brother too.
Cant wait to see him,
Very solid defender and and a menace in attack
Im not sure this week is the time.

Fainu will impress you guys. He does so many things right technically. A coach's dream.

I would start Latu and bring Bud off the bench if needed to play around tired forwards.
He played two 1/2 games on his return from injury, we throw Galvin into the fire 🔥, so why not throw him in , we need to know what he can do , so let’s do it . Bud was terrible in that 1st game , so give the kid a go
Down the track, possibly.
Not this round.
Bud deserves another shot at being a starter. If not here then prob at the dogs, titans
Agree. I I hope bud plays really well across the next two weeks, he will be an asset.

When Latu sees his brother rip in he will be eager to do the same. Imagine all 3 brothers make first grade it will be like the Burgess and Turbo brothers. I shouldn't think too far ahead.

Crazy to think it's a possiblity for us to have fainu fainu and fainu all coming the bench for us in the future. I don't think I've seen a bench of three brothers before
Walkers maybe ? Chris, Ben and Shane did they all play together at Brisbane Burgess brothers may have all been on the bench together before maybe ? Tom, George and Luke with Sam starting. My guess anyway LOL

Yeh you could be right mate I'm not sure to be honest. Would be pretty amazing to be able to play in the best league in the world with ur brothers that's for sure ay.
