Latu Fainu #282

I don't know why we rushed this kid back, he was clearly struggling with being 100% fit imo it's only doing him more harm than good. Hammy's can become chronic as we've all seen with a few other players.

This is how they trained this morning, Galvin is in
visible discomfort with his hand strapped up but
will be good to go. Olam/api didn't train, klem rest.
Bud worries me. We were doing kick drills and he
doesn't get near enough under the ball. It's not going
high nor long and he got charged down. Really hope
he can step it up. Feel terrible 4 Latu hopefully back
in next week regardless of the result, he looks okay
 
The kid either needs rest, if his hammy is an issue, work on it and get him right. Then give him a few games playing half in cup. It's absolutely disgraceful how he's been mismanaged so far this season. He's played at hooker and lock in first grade, after two mins-restricted half matches in Cup.
How on earth is this supposed to develop one of the best young halves going around? He's not a forward, should not be playing there yet, let him get fitness and form in his natural position then work on his utility if needed.

it's literally how Hook ruined Sullivan's career before it got off the ground. Richardson and Marshall need to play the long game and stick Simpkin at 14 or run four forwards off the bench.
 
It’s Time.. we desperately need some class.. this kid has it all .. we need a winner that wants to play footy for Wests Tigers .. That can make a break and can make a one on one tackle ..
 
Injury report on WT pretty illuminating. Said the club was sourcing advice from ACU Melbourne on his reoccurring hamstring problems
 
Family seems to be genuine footballers.

I remember when Manase came on the scene, he was a machine. Even Api knew he was next up.... shame how that one played out but the family is good stock. Really like what Samuela has been showing. Hope Latu can overcome his struggles and we can see what he has to offer, as by reports he's the most talented of them all.
 
Any word on his return from his hamstring issues ?

I’ve noticed a lot of hope on the message board has moved his way since the Galvin drama …

Would be nice if he could show us something this year …
