Sure will set him back , but also set our team back we need to get players training pre season in position AD. Our lock ? Now goes to half , maybe the kid is made of glass , it’s only early but gee he has terrible luck with injury

I rememeber a few years ago Maiko Sivo and Doeuihi did their ACLs on the same weekend. Sivo had his surgery the Monday after it, Doeuihi for some reason had his done 4 weeks after. Understand there may have been other reasons, but it feels like our club is always behind the pace on injuries.

reminds me of Benji's early days, every time he would get tackled or tackle someone I would hold my breath.....hopefully Latu gets his shoulder sorted and has as good a career as his coach...he certainly has the potential.

Benji will be a good mentor for him through this period given his own shoulder recons at a young age.

From memory they had to wait for swelling to go before doing it
Was definitely a reason for delay on one of his injuries
 
So sad was hoping he would have got a full pre-season, on the positive he can still do a lot of the fitness just no contact until the shoulder is ready, the coaches need to work on his tacking style I feel he's one tackle away form a HIA.

yes, those low-down tackles are very dangerous, you expose yourself completely to the attacking players knees. Api does them as well...kudos to him for aiming up and putting his body on the line, yet some self-preservation, especially in the halves is not frowned upon.
 
Latu will miss the offseason with shoulder surgery according to Richo…

There goes the debate about the starting 7 no doubt … Hope AD has another big preseason and is ready to go …,
 
That's huge, now i assume AD does a preseason predominantly at 7 rather then a full pre season at 13. Disappointing cause I believe that is the future.
Latu can't catch a break if it was his hammy I would possibly hold another opinion ...
