And guess what, he’s back for the next game and cleared of a major injury. Was an awkward tackle and you’re all calling for his head on a stake 🤦‍♂️

With Latu's injury record could he even survive that? 🤣

I think he is to tough.

He never shirks defence against some guy players.

Hope he is ok for Vegas

He put on some good hits while he was on the field, fortunately none of them flipped anyone on their head. 🤣

He just maybe too fearless for his own good.

Further to this, here’s a story

https://coastcommunitynews.com.au/central-coast/news/2026/10/holman-barnes-group-invests-in-the-mariners/

This was all announced publicly several months ago. Wests Ashfield were co owning an NPL club Wests Apia, and then went to bail out CCM women's team.

But yes sad when they can barely offer loose change to the Wests Tigers

made a great tackle when injured defending on the wing just before coming off. definitely doesn't dog it

What about the defence from Latu on KPP off the short ball ( called forward) but stopped him dead in his tracks.

I don’t think he means mentally.
The kid has a go, that’s probably got a lot to do with him not shirking his D, but he is not a man yet and his body knows it. A bit like Benji and many others. As good as he is, both ability and mentally he is ready for NRL but physically he could do with a slower introduction into NRL.
Once his body hardens up he could be a golden boot player. Managing this is key.

Yep was just watching the replay.
Boy that guy is injury prone.
Just not tough enough for my liking. But that’s just me.

That’s unfair , is he trying to get injured, look back to Teddy and benji they where always injured, but they came back and Iam sure Latu will do the same

On another note , a little birdie told me that we are chasing a class backrower , he couldn’t get a name , but the club are hopeful

A repeat offender [always something-rehabs that take months].
Can you blame us for being sceptical?
All eggs in Latu's basket is risking 2027. Or do suffer another year of excuses?
We need some insurance---a plan C.

The fear of getting injured must get in his head space. Feel for Latu but I think its becoming more clear why his transition to FG has been, and continues to be a work in progress.

I wish but if or when he leaves Penrith it will be to a Top 4 side.

I think he and others in there price range is not in our budget, think it will be a one just below them

I actually think he wants a Big pay day he's done everything in the game just one thing remaining a Big pay day Parramatta wants he as well for 28

Gotta figure one of KPP or Samuela will depart end 27..hope we keep both
If Samuela wants to link up with Latu,there will be many suitors who need a edge backrower and a 6/7..starting with Panthers/Roosters and Storm
But Latu's resilience is definitely becoming a question mark
