Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If there is any truth or chance on David Fafita ending up with a tiger on his jersey and point to prove. It's absolutely a dice the club rolls. He is top teir player in the position we are most lacking in. The clique and culture the Polynesian boys are building might also be appealing. Sure I see the risk but I also see the massive potential. A competitor who is playing with the likes of May and Pole running off jarome is going to be infected with that energy.
 
DCE to Roosters? Nanai to somewhere in Sydney?

This is not Fifita.
Nanai would be a perfect fit for us, he’d be at the top of my list if there was any chance of him becoming available.
If not Nanai, Fifita at even 80% of his best would improve our team dramatically and if not either of them I suppose Pearce-Paul would do.
It appears one of these 3 will be a Wests Tigers player real soon.

Nanai moved away from his favoured right side this season. He was also part of the Samoan tour to England last year with Romey, Terrell & Skelton. Food for thought.
 
Fifita is a signing worth making.

It's clear as day he's disgruntled there. The player we're seeing now isn't the player he is and if we can get him at a significant discount, we're getting a guy that when his head and body are right, is arguably the best second rower in the game.
 
Can Nanai do the dirty work in defence, all in good been a good attacker but you cannot have a player go missing when it is time to tackle. This also applies to Fifta who looks like Tarazan but ends going walkabouts.
 
His salary for the rest of the year is ~ $500K and next year it’s $1M. If Titans contribute $100K for the remainder of this year and $200K for next year, his salary averages out to be $600K spread across two seasons. If Richo’s got money burning a hole in his pocket, this would be a good buy. If it’s true Fifita’s uncle is Bula’s father in law, a family connection and change of scenery could be exactly what he needs.

You are cheating a little with your numbers … you are proposing a total of 1.2m over 1.5 years…

Is he for sale even at those figures ?
 
I’m getting Olam vibes with Fifita.

Plus he looks fat.
The ankle injury is a concern, but he is 5-6 years younger than Olam when we signed him, that makes a big difference.
In any case we really don’t want to be going much higher than 700k for Fifita or KPP, although I would personally go as high as 900k if we could secure Nanai.
I think it’s certain we land one of these 3, if it’s Fifita maybe an instant transfer which would be interesting.
