Latu Fainu #282

[TheEnz]

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 …,

Gee thats a blow

 

[HowDugWT]

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 ...

Not sure we he goes extra low at times, he hits them perfectly fine with conventional tackles

Why do you laugh? He was the sole playmaker that took Tonga to the World Cup final.

Tonga never made the World cup final it was Samoa.

Lolohea was better at organising the team though.

Some miracle may happen 1 day and we get professional ,

Apologies, Might have been the Semi then. My mind casts back to the controversial no strip by Elliot Whitehead on Andrew Fifita.

No need to apologise, Tonga have been good of recent time but this last Pacific championship they have been quite poor.
