Latu playing up an age too. Sometimes I think Tigers fans dont realise what we have here. This kid could be our best player since Benji, possibly surpassing him. Thats how good he is

Yep I’m a very bullish on Latu. Injuries has hurt his development but I’ve got faith he’ll get there once he strings games together

Yes we have to stop being so impatient as a club and let him fully recover AND develop.
It seems everytime as soon as he is nearly ready we rush him back

Perfect number 14 at the moment. Covers alot of positions.

You haven't seen that glimpse? Your not looking closely enough

He's on $500 k/yr...!!It's yr 3 of a 4 yr contract....
I'd like glimpses at a minimum,but prefer sustainable and consistent contributions to our results at those $$
Yep just aint seeing it
We mite have to make choices between him and Madden soon

He isnt on 500k. Thats false information. Besides, price didnt come into it, you said you haven't seen glimpses of his talent.

How much is he on then? SMH is a pretty good source

His contract started at around 200 to 250k and rose each year. Not sure where it lands in the final year, I wpuld say say close to that 500k. But certainly not 500k 4 year deal that keeps being spoken about. My estimate is about 1.2 to 1.3 over 4 years, rather than the 2mil often referenced on here.
