League: Latu signs with Sharks

Tevita Latu

Another player has turned his back on the Warriors.

Hooker Tevita Latu has signed a two year deal with the Sharks starting next year.

Latu has had limited game time this year with Lance Hohaia, Monty Betham and Nathan Fien all preferred in the number nine jersey.

Cronulla General Manager Steve Rogers reckons he has picked up a classy player but would not comment on the Warriors' reasons for letting him go.

Rogers says he does not know enough about the workings of the Warriors to pass judgement but says he is pleased Latu has been made available.

Steve Rogers says Latu will replace utility Michael Sullivan, who is set to be released by the Sharks to take up a contract at Warrington in 2006.
