Hi ViciousHe is not a controlling halfback, never has been.
He is a dynamic ball runner who needs others to create time and space for him to play.
We are wasting our time and his if trying tn turn him into an on ball controlling halfback, but could reap big rewards if we allow him to play to his strengths which could initially be done by playing him at left centre.
Lock is also a possibility, but we don’t want him making 40 tackles while still so young, we want him making as few tackles as possible to allow his dynamic running game to flourish.
Laurie Daley and Brad Fittler were both young 5/8 prodigy’s who started their NRL career off playing in the centres, before moving back into 5/8 a few years down the track, I can’t see why Latu could not follow their path ?
I have just not seen this dynamic running game, where has it been demonstrated ?
Don’t get me wrong I hope this kid lives up to all the hype.
Others on here have raved about his passing game after 1 pass that put Seyfath in for a try last year.
So I’m not quite sure what is his biggest asset ?
