The god accepted my child sacrifice then. Need to go find some more now just in case.
I said before that he was humble as in the interview. Got told he did some good carries and made an impact on defense and he just said, 'got a bit lucky'.
Wasn't luck, was hard work, but he has something in those top two inches.

I liked how in his jersey presentation when asked who he thanked/ was proud of for getting him to this point and he said “It’s gonna sound weird but I’m proud of myself. Staying away from bad influences and doing stupid things” etc etc.
Awesome listening to young men with their heads screwed on

Where are you seeing his presentation?

Even some of the young guys in the pathways teams are clued up! They don't sound like clowns Ala Reece Walsh etc etc. So professional in front the media and humble as.
Laban is set for a huge future in the Wahs jumper. No doubt is a reincarnation of SK.

Thanks heaps for that. So impressed, reminds me of Eli Katoa as a gentle soul but a wrecking ball on the field

Damn son. Sign him up for 10 years.
I don’t know much about the juniors and maybe it’s not my business, but I just love minor details and back story
Laban mentioned his mum not with him and no one really too look up to and he did this by himself for himself
Man that really hits hard, anyone with any insight in his story

Is someone cutting onions in here?
He's going to be a hungry beast! So glad he's got guys like Roger there. CBA!
I can’t wait for the Bloke podcast this week

Just watched a reply and Laban stood head and shoulders above everyone. Looks nearly 5-10cm taller than Barnett and Wahs list him at 187cm. He dwarfed Souths Jacob Host whose listed at 1.9cm. Post match interview with Halligan (who 1.92cm) and he was a touched taller than him as well. Labans a unit and he’s still just 19yrs
I hope Matty Johns and Cronk dissect our game this week
Yep, taller than Latrell who is 1.93 m or 6’4, so perhaps he is 6’5 which is giving us a bit of nice size and a different body shape. I thought he was solid and in the process of getting physical. He was a little gassed which is to be expected but… I think there’s a lot of potential there.

Taller than Tohu?
