  Love to see Tuivaiti and Simmonson back, but why has Will Latu been coming off the bench recently?

  Anyone know anything about Lokinie? Seems to be ahead of Latu who was touted as a future nrl player

   

  

   

  Looks like we bought him from the Waratahs

    He's been among the highest touted I think from the SG ball side of last year. He's been mostly an edge or 13 but I've seen the more in the know guys here like EA saying his future is in the middle whether lock or prop.

      Yep. Will be like Moretti. High leg speed and aggression through the middle I recon.

        EA, Is RU recruit Lokeni ahead of Latu?

        Like Lokeni, Moretti was also a centre in RU (dunno if it was inside or outside though).

        We'll need these youngsters in the pack with grunt — like Tuivita, Lokeni, and Latu — to come good. 

         

        PS: There was some rumour Martyn has signed elsewhere. Dunno if true?

          Nah Latu is coming back from injury and I assume will start relatively soon. Expect Lokeni to go back to JF when more injured players comeback . Lokeni has actually been contracted to eels for a while, he played SG ball last year and was more impressive than Funa-Luta in the backrow. He seems more suited to the middle these days as he doesn't get back tackle breaks anymore. The year before last he didn't play for eels as he was focused on school union with Kings

  Latu is coming back from Injury. He is still way ahead of Lokeni. No need to push Latu with 80 minutes yet. Lokeni is a good prospect and has started to feel comfortable in cup the last few weeks. Had great numbers on the weekend. 

   

  Nanva has played primarily left centre in cup if im not mistaken.  Hopefully this means Bailey is playing right side and will slip straight into centre against the Panthers.

  Martyn is not in RM this week. Hope this is a sign he is a late in for Scolari this week.

    He played one game lol and most likely got injured.

    if you look at RM cup team, it says he's out, also Hayne played the last game and he's out too, so who knows
