Latu Fainu #282

[Telltails]

He has got footy player written all over him.

 

[Sully]

Bring on round 22 v Lloyd from the Dogs

He gets around the slug and he won’t be caught and hurts him with his tackles

Massive difference between him and Galvin. Katoa and Latu are better and Gus would know that but sucks to suck

 

[tig_prmz]

I would much rather he does little kicking as kicking puts a lot of strain on your hamstrings in your follow through.

He has to do it eventually. He has a good boot on him, but maybe Benji wants to ease him in as you said.

 

[Wiz]

Word.

He had a great game.
Loved the interview after.

Showed Benji a lot of love and said he loves playing for the jersey and the fans.

Said he’s happy to play anywhere. Wherever he’s needed. Big ✅.

 

[Adam Doobie]

Great game but it was his defensive never give up effort that was the most pleasing.

Enjoy today fans but also temper expectations and let him have development time. He has alot of learning to do and as teams work him out he then has to evolve again.

No tempering will be going on here. Latu Mania is here and I will be sat for it.

 

[Adam Doobie]

He hits hard haven’t seen a half cripple blokes for a while

Wonder if Hudson Young is still feeling the shot from a couple of weeks ago.

 

[The Chad]

Latu looks like the kind of talent that makes other players want to be in his team.

 

[LiamFulton]

The most impressive thing for me today was when nagalskjdaowijdasd scored and latu then put luke inside him to take the match up. Thats a player that wants the smoke. He then made the next tackle which he turned over huge play

loved that!

Lincoln Withers was fearless

 

[BBTF]

loved that!

Absoulutely - i noticed that.

I just love his speed. You always feel he is a chance. When he scored that try, his acceleration through the whole was immense. I don't think many halves make that, and Galvin doesn't even bust the whole.

We have not scored many tries like that over the years with runaways as our players are not explosive, so its a great change.

 

[Speed2burn]

That was literally his 2nd or 3rd 80 minute game aswell

I hate bringing up the skinny weasel but I can’t ever remember Galvin having as much impact in a game for us as Latu did today

8 or so games to go for this year, let the kid cook

i've ripped the page out of my thesaurus that quotes a WT s junior loves this club and will fight to see it great

 

[tigahhh]

Braith and the guys on his podcast said Latu looks like he will be a better half than galvin and Gus got the wrong one

interestingly a reason galvin was not happy with the club during pre-seaon was because the team preferred Latu, apparently training better, more committed and suited the combinations more

 

[Moh]

Katoa is the best young half in the competition, and Latu IMO is the closest thing to him. Galvin not even in the picture.

Not to say Galvin sucks, rate (but hate) him, but not anywhere as good as the above in the halves.

The game just slows down with Katoa/Latu, in the good way.

Lincoln Withers was fearless

Great memory mate , he was a skinny bugger as well as, tuff

bizarre thought , he had a really thick head of hair . Like , ? , wearing head gear

 

[king_sirro]

Lincoln Withers was fearless

One of my all time favourite players

Looking at pretty boy Galvin's game now he plays nothing more than a link role and looks to be on the path to play lock.

That's if he hasn't got beanpole syndrome and can put on 10kg of muscle, if he can't well F if I know where he ends up, an average 5/8 boy that will upset the doggies fans and Gussy will be on the nose.

You can't fool your teammates, especially those who have won premierships or have been at the top echelon clubs.
