Latu Fainu #282

Latu is a gun very little experience. I suspect he will win the 7 jersey next year and AD will provide another point of attack from lock.

As we stand now our team is incomplete but solid.

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Toa
4. May
5. Makasini
6. Luai
7. Latu Fainu
8. Terrell May
9. Api
10. ??
11. KPP
12. Sam Fainu
13. Alex Twal
14. AD
15. Sione Fainu
16.. Fonua Pole
17. ??

We need another prop forward and a running forward that can play hooker.

Skelton, Seyfarth, Sukkar, Madden, Lauili x 2, Murray need to be NSW Cup players to grow their games and provide depth.

Not far away but we need at least two more starting 17 players into this squad. Playing a bench of Murray, Hunt, Sukkar isn’t going to cut it.
 
Cowboys pack is relentless. They rolled through us fairly easily. Joey must have been on drugs, on the telecast he said he couldn’t believe how big our team is …

Cowboys have Taumalolo, Mikaele and McLean to name a few

On Latu… the green shoots are there. But eventually we are going to need a bit more than a bomb every last tackle. Clifford’s kicking game out of trouble is something I wish we had

Agree with what we need but I think we also need someone who can provide depth at right centre. To’a goes down and we have Naden there and Staines in reserves who both suck.

Seems like Makasini will stick to the left with May.

the kick sets the pace . Its so disheartening from yesteryear. lol
 
Looked very good today behind a beaten pack. Crisp passing and took on the line a few times...there is something special there.
Problem is he is still finding his feet in first grade. We have seen glimpses of class followed by lower confidence games where he doesn't own the game. Today he looked more dominant than his last few games.

My hope is that he gets picked for Tonga and gets to play alongside Isaiya Katoa. Getting to pick his brain would be a huge experience for him.
 
Agree withh most hes a work in progress...still developing as an NRL player but we must be patient and not overdo it with him.
Hes tough and not afraid i just hope he doesnt become.a.player that is a frequent HIA candidate.
I know todays head knock was in an act of desperation but hes fearless, young with little self preservation
