I agree with the position and I said it in my rant , but the kid has been injured the whole time , and the one that stands out as you say coach has not played him in his natural position , my question why ? If he is good , why ?

No club would move him on. If you have a young half who naturally has time with ball in hand you hang onto him for dear life and persevere with his body. Ball players like Latu dont come along very often. You say he hasn't pressed for a spit anywhere but he hasn't been given one single game in his position...not one game. Its like signing Tedesco and then complaining when he isnt killing it at hooker, lock and wing.

If Latu is fit enuff tom play at 9,why dont we give him a shot at 7 and see what hes actually got so we can make informed decisions on contract renewal
The short term fix we have this w/e doesnt make any sense

Get him on at #7 this week.

Play Hope & Lanyon at #9, but put the best attacking players on the field in positions they can influence the game.

Latu is a passing robot at #9 and not the right fit.

At worst- play him at #13. But get the ball in his hands.

Sione will give him a spell at 9 and he’ll go to a ball distribution 13 role I guess. That’s an opportunity to show his wares as a HB.

Where is all this talk he is not happy coming from? Because him and Sam haven't re-signed?.
They would only be leaving to go to PNG for $$$$

haven’t heard a lot of talk ..yet … although we saw with Bula that imaginations can run wild when players don’t sign straight away …

I’ll be surprised if they leave …although I’m not sure what Latu’s extension might look like…

I agree with u , I really get upset with people who think players just get injured for their own benefit.
Teddy and benji were injured heaps before coming good
The kid has not been given any chance to push his claim , he’s moved all over the place , and has not been 1/2 back in NSW cup , because he’s needed on the bench for 1st grade.
The kid has it all , has speed , good defender, just not given the chance to run the team around the park , he is still young and we be a very good player
