That's awful news, condolences to all those affected. I don't see this being another Sonny Fai situation as it sounds like he's only just become part of the club, but still.

Cause of death?

 

[Iafeta]

Very tragic - we've had a really really bad run at the Warriors. Sonny Fai, the young fellow last year, and young Tala here. Rest in peace

 

[One Warrior]

Very sad, RIP Tala.

Christmas wil never be the same for this family. RIP Tala.

Cause of death?

Between the lines....

Sad time for Canterbury Rugby League

By the way, watch out for Tala's young mate Cyrus Timo Latu, who is playing with the Warriors' this season. This kid could be something special. Hopefully this tragedy doesn't affect him too badly

Went to the funeral today. Huge turn out. Very sad.

Warriors represented themselves very well

 

[Rich102]

Very sad. Glad the Warriors showed support.
Can you tell us more about Latu? Is he in the U20's squad?

 

[Meth]

Yes. Timo Latu is a very skilful, promising player. Has played half/hooker. Went over to the Cowboys last year but came back to be closer to home.

Any relation to Tevita ?

Not that I am aware of
