I'm sure he would he's even said as much but I'm talking about the perspective of what's best for him long term.
2026 squad - still not good enough

Best case scenario , Latu eventually plays Doueihi out of the position. Competition might be healthy for both of them tho. I trust Benji with Latu’s development he’s been pretty mindful about it

I think he was starting to show that imo it was just poor tackling technique where he got himself in the wrong position that led to his injury. I mean AD injured himself in a similar way trying to tackle Taumalolo just lucky it was no where near as serious. Hopefully Benji & the coaching staff have identified that and it's something they've worked on during pre-season. Latu never actually had any muscle or hamstring injuries last year (which he's struggled with his whole career) so hopefully it's a good sign of things to come.

Latu has copped a few HIA's that ruled him out, there was also the Hammy issue. The shoulder one was always going to happen with the tackling technique he has, so get that sorted and he should be sweet, he is still developing and their are some kids that are more injury prone at that stage...fingers crossed. I have no doubt he is our long term 7 or 6 (still think Luai might end up in 7 and Latu at 6). I love AD however he is not our future at 7, will hopefully do a job for us in 26.
