While I'm glad the boys are trying to impress and turning up the intensity at training, I think they should be mindful of silly injuries that may occur when trying to pull of these sorts of tackles. On Fifita, if it was a textbook tackle in the ribs that flattened Marshall then great….a cowboy shoulder charge in training on your 'mates' is out of order. Shoulder charges are intended to hurt the opposition which is probably why Benji was so upset plus the guy is twice his size....just silly IMHO.....I certainly wouldn't have been happy.

Considering the Fifita boys used to punch on with each other in the dressing sheds before games when they played on the same side I am not sure if thats the meathead you want doing opposition work with your best playmaking option.
But thats the game I guess. Still shoulder charging, even in opposition work, when the guy is on your squad shows immaturity to some extent on Andrews part especially considering tackling technique is one of his biggest issues to work on between NYC and even State Cup

I'm sure the coaching staff are cautious the line doesnt get crossed.
Cant wrap our boys in cotton wool forever….good to see some contact and blood spilt. Its not silly.
One could just as easily step in a hole and do a knee/ankle ala Hodges.

story about nothing imo. Spoke to AF yesterday at the open day and came across as a lovley lad. Played touch with the kids and did not come across as anything other than a decnet bloke who wants to get into the squad really badly.

I like the sounds of him, not intimidated by anything or anyone, hopefully he keeps this going right thru into his first grade debut & beyond
OMG…Is Benji OK.....
Its training and they are showing aggression and passion, to me its nothing but a positive and hope all our other forward take a leaf out of Fifita handbook and show the same amount of hunger and aggression during training and more importantly when they run out week in week out this coming season, if they do we will be doing very well come september.

He should train as per normal, it's too pessimistic to shelter him at training incase he gets injured when he's at 100%. What if he pulled a hammy in the warm up run? It could happen, maybe we should stop him doing that too.

I think people on this forum need to harden up.. The fact the one football player talking another football player at training even makes the news is a joke.

Couldn't of said it better myself, and i hope this doesn't discourage Fifita from continuing to do things like this it doesn't matter who it is put pressure on them put pressure on the coaching staff let them know your there and you mean business get in their face make them take notice.
Best news i've heard all off season. Keep it up son.
