He is likely starting half if Luai doesn’t back up …

restricted minutes or there’s legs to what everyone in the media has been saying all week that they see him a lock
also, if there’s a single game you do play Royce hunt it’s against the raiders…..

What's not so obvious (to me) is why are we playing blokes with any restrictions on them in the 17 at all?
(Especially a Half)
Isn't that what reserve grade is for?
Glad to see even Rookie coaches can have that all knowing arrogance.
Well if they win the boys will celebrate.. and have the right too.. and if they lose they won't...

Right. I’m sure coaches will be very understanding of their players not backing up cos they got on the piss.

Coming back from a hammy injury that’s been giving him problems since the beginning of 2024… club is taking a cautious approach which is understandable. Besides highly doubt Luai plays anyway.
Makes you wonder how much of this is a smoke screen
I doubt Benji would play that bench against the raiders or we are done for

yea fonua mentioned it at the ambush event
Why is the club/some people here looking for a half? 😭
Latu is the one.
No, he hasn't proven himself, but he has shown very very positive signs. Better signs than Galvin ever did. His injuries don't worry me one bit, plenty of examples of players getting over early career injuries. Kid just needs time in grade, and he'll be our long-term half.
We're not in a position to get an experienced half and tell Latu to wait his turn, because like many kids, they don't hang around clubs like ours.
We threw Galvin in, no reason we don't do the same with Latu when he's 100% fit and ready.

Cmon mate you're better than that... 🤣
Somewhat agree with Royce.. but maybe he needs to learn the lesson this year so we get the best out of him next season

Didn’t some SOO reps get interviewed a few years ago and say they preferred to back up only one or two days after SOO rather than three or four days later? If true, then Luai will probably play unless he gets injured.
It’s not that , it’s that DOMs usually sets in about 48 hrs after . Delayed onset muscle soreness for those who don’t know .
It’s why when you work out your arms squally burn the day after the day of , and stick around for 24hrs .
So the closer you are to the event , the less fatigue and muscle soreness you’re going to feel . 72hrs , and it’s hurt locker for most .
Hindy actually said that on MMM on Saturday.
