Latu Fainu #282

We need to keep all of them
Galvin , Luai , Latu , they all offer great value .
I’m Gal moves on I am not to worried as Latu with more top grade time gets better , he is running around In Reserves , Galvin has the luxury of first grade now , swap them for 6 weeks you see Latu blossom

Honestly hope latu gets a chance to be our five eight but I known he wont Unfortunately he is a much better fit with luai then galvin and I think he will end up being the better player of the two

My mix would be Latu 6, Galvin 7 and JL 13.

Sure, until Latu has a bad game, or he entertains offers from other clubs. THEN he doesn't know how to play and we need to get rid of him.

Rinse and repeat.

They are both equally talented and different players. Love to have them both on, and if it means one of them at lock so be it.

But if one leaves, I'm happy with the other.

Keep both or either one.

 

[tigers.]

Needs to be in team somewhere, give him a crack at centre. Fulton, Fittler and Daley started there .

 

[Merlot]

Latu would be more trustworthy in the trenches than Galvin

 

[Demps]

Kid is impressive.

Haircut is a shocker though.
We need him in the 17, somehow.
Offers too much, not to be.

Do you think mason could fill in on the wing ? Gotta be a better option than Faataape

Yes/no...

Hopefully Skelton is back next week and AD injury isn't too serious...

Thinking we need to get that Taylan May deal done asap.

Galvin again proved today he is a ball hog and tries to win the game on his own...not worth the 1 million in my opinion for quite a few seasons.
Latu was great today...

Can’t agree… he does what he’s told. Latu was great for 5 minutes

They aren’t equally talented … they are differently talented.
Be nice when we get them both in the team.

Let’s bring Latu out of Galvin’s shadow - he’s a much better fit with Luai ..

 

[bbobb]

I think last week and this week had shown that Galvin is more effective wider of the ruck. I like Latu as first receiver as he plays much more direct than Lachie - which provides Lachie the space to do his thing (also think Luai is better wider as well).
We should figure out a way to include both in the team.

 

[The Chad]

I feel like I've read a lot of these "get Latu in the team' comments before...centre, move Galvin...only to see them shouted down...

Way too hard on Faataape, what with 2 minutes to go in the wet he doesn’t dive or pick up the ball?? It had a shocking bounce, he was waiting for it to pop up, but it didn’t.
Yet he scored a crucial try defused several of theirs plus some very hard bombs!! It was a Hail Mary play at best!
I don’t get u lot sometimes, just got to hate someone.

 

[liltiger]

He’s still a kid and got excitable. We made some dumb plays but we hung tough. That impresses me and I’m sure it will reap dividends down the line.
I think Benjis comment re the ref was quite pertinent. I don’t like whinging about refs but he seemed to give them extra latitude in the ruck, especially slowing down the play the ball, but maybe I’m just a biased old Tiger.
I feel disappointed but not down.
PS, you can now see why JL was more effective at Penrith, the reason I. Yeoh !!!

Not biased at all mate, that's the ref you get when you order from wish.

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

I personally think we can keep them all. Latu could play a 13/14 role similar to what Craig Wing used to do for the roosters. Galvin is still learning but his skill set is insane and the combo with Luai will continue to improve. If Latu's brothers stay I would think this is a massive reason to remain with us, especially if we are winning.

Galvin and his manager are the ones shouting it down the loudest …. Halves get paid half a million more a year than centres …that’s a lot of millions over a 15 year career

they need to make a call on who they are headed with soon …I think we all know deep down who is staying and who is going

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

Give Galvin a big offer and if he doesn’t sign not the end of the world. Latu looks a great player. I know player swaps are all very rare and all but I do wonder if Galvin could be a useful bargaining chip…fact we have him for next two seasons you would think increases that as a possibility.
