They certainly have different playing styles, but they're both only kids, they need to learn.

I agree. You can't be expecting these kids to come in and have complete games. It's going to take time. Latu will create heaps for us if he stays on the field. It's just the dumb mistakes that will kill us. I don't think Luai has been great for us but he hasn't been taking the wrong option way too often like Galvin has been. We don't need Latu to come in and start putting in dodgy kicks and poor passes.

Hopefully when he does come back from injury he'll he a team first player and play a supporting role while he gets used to first grade and develops his game over time. We'll need to be patient like you said 05. Just as long as he doesn't have a massive sook about playing second fiddle to a 4 time premiership winner.

Our hopes and aspirations are riding on this kid.....No pressure hahaha

He already has a better highlight reel than Galvin from just a handful of first grade games!. Let him know he's wanted and lock him in longterm

It's pretty funny this isn't it.

If you read the comments under the twitter video of Latu there's a bloke who reckons TDS and his management have told Tigers management if Api goes on / is signed past 2026 then TDS is going market.

I don't blame the Tigers for wanting to extend Api. I also don't blame TDS for not wanting to wait around (if the rumours are true). Just one of the those things.

Tend to agree, but he's 20yo he's not ready to be a full-time 9, there ego's are getting the better of them.
He is no where near Api in skill and fitness.

I agree with you TM. Young people today are very impatient though, and if you asked TDS he'd (more than likely) tell that he'd be ready to start 1st grade and go well at the start of 2027.

I suppose seeing it from his point of view, your career isn't all that long, and catastrophic injury can happen at any time. You need to max out the coin you earn, and also the amount of time you're playing the game at the highest level.
