Latu playing up an age too. Sometimes I think Tigers fans dont realise what we have here. This kid could be our best player since Benji, possibly surpassing him. Thats how good he is

Yep I’m a very bullish on Latu. Injuries has hurt his development but I’ve got faith he’ll get there once he strings games together

Just a glimpse between injuries wld be mildly encouraging ...

Yes we have to stop being so impatient as a club and let him fully recover AND develop.
It seems everytime as soon as he is nearly ready we rush him back

He's on $500 k/yr...!!It's yr 3 of a 4 yr contract....
I'd like glimpses at a minimum,but prefer sustainable and consistent contributions to our results at those $$
Yep just aint seeing it
We mite have to make choices between him and Madden soon

He isnt on 500k. Thats false information. Besides, price didnt come into it, you said you haven't seen glimpses of his talent.
How much is he on then? SMH is a pretty good source

His contract started at around 200 to 250k and rose each year. Not sure where it lands in the final year, I wpuld say say close to that 500k. But certainly not 500k 4 year deal that keeps being spoken about. My estimate is about 1.2 to 1.3 over 4 years, rather than the 2mil often referenced on here.

$$ are clearly contetious,with different opinions..think SMH was my source.(which is not the key point if he performs)
...but Madden showed more in one game than Ive seen from Latu
Still got time,but I wanna see the kid who pushed Galvin into the NSW U20s back row..
So do we all but I don’t think it’s a question of ability just consistency and resilience. He will get there. Benji had shoulder issues which kept him out for extended periods early in his career.

Madden is 26. Perfect age for a half. Latu’s got time
