OFFICIAL Latu Fainu #282

[Tiger Stripes]

Yep. How can you throw a decent contract at him? As I said, shocking timing for him.

Good timing for WT to get another look at his fragility.

What happened?

Looked like nothing?!

5/8.
Was playing averagely. Missed half his tackles and did zero with the ball.

Just watched the highlights and saw that he was missing from the action. I came straight to the forum and my worst thoughts were correct.

Really feel for the kid.

Latest is he is actually okay.

The Latu injury now is a stark reminder we need a "Plan C" halfback. [assuming Madden is "Plan B"].
I'm tending now to see Madden as the half and Andrews the 5/8.
Latu is not the reliable [fitness wise] player we need for week to week games.
I also noticed one of his low lifting style tackles. Has not changed his tackling technique.
No doubt Benji and his helpers need to reassess a halfback remedy urgently. Doueihi is not the answer.

This was my big concern after he went off. I'd love for it to be Latu and Andrews, but they really can't go all in on Latu until he can show he can stay healthy for any period of time.

He is a bigger build then Galvin, yet Galvin never gets injured..maybe he has terrible luck with injuries at a similar age...As mentioned above, his stocks are dropping by the day..TBH the couple of games ive watched Andrews in Cup I think he is a superior attacking player. Defense aint so good though at his age which is normal..I really hope Latu makes it as if we have Adam and Jock as staring halves it could be a long year.

To all those who have screamed about how poorly Latu has been managed - you pick players in FG with the belief they are going to stay on the field to help you win games. Latu is not that player yet.

What does this mean?

 

[Merlot]

if he copped a burner from that tackle he did to stop KPP / ? from scoring , his defense is unquestionable ,

 

[jirskyr]

I was just happy to see a Tigers player tackle another Tigers player, who got hurt, so they ran on a former Tigers player.

Usually we don't get a sniff during the rep season.

Gee this guys glass body concerns me...

 

[HUNT 101]

Man Unfortunately the fella is made of tin foil and for a club that is trying to climb out of a shit hole for so long .we need half's that stay on the field the same combination all year FFS, yeah we need backup half's sure just in case but for some reason with Latu it feels like he would get injured stepping onto the team bus on game day . We don't want to watch back up players all season.

What happened did he fall off the bench?
