I agree with Danos fifita did look slimmer on sunday & i think it showed in his fitness & workrate.

His comments after the weekend's match tell us this much.
"We have plenty of time for him."
That is fairly high praise coming from Sheens.

This is a very big call,but Fifita reminds me of a young Arthur Beetson,maybe without the offload ability just yet.
He's got so much more potential than Galloway,Gibbs & co because he can actually break the line & dominate his opponent.
Id be statrting the game with him to add some authority to our forwards

Agreed, best potential in forwards.
I think Sheens has trouble commending good work … In the post match interview on ABC the reporter was raving about how good his game was, yet Sheens couldn't compliment him once, rather focussed on his overweight issue. Or the typical - "yeah he had a good game, but has a long way to go". For once it'd be nice to hear, "I was really proud of him today, he's had a tough last 6 weeks and I was happy to see him return today with great impact and motivation".

Beetson thought the same when he and David trialled at the Roosters as wingers back in 2007!
He sent them home to get some experience in the forwards!
What I like about Andrew is that he reads play well - has lovely soft hands - possesses a great turn of pace for his size - a great fend/bump - he plays with controlled aggression (I am yet to see a reckless/stupid defensive play from the kid) - and he has genuine size with a big arse that gives him a low centre of gravity and makes him hard to put down!!
We all know he is a keeper (as does the club) - but he won't sign a new contract until he has proven his true value and can negotiate the best possible deal with the Tigers!
He does love the club!! That is a fact!
Having said that - he could start at a pinch - but we'd be better starting with more defensively adept props for now and allow him to come on as an impact rotation!

It's simply to keep their ego in check. There is one major thing about Sheens that I do like, he is a good man manager.

I personally saw Tim congratulate Andrew after the game! Tim merely keeps his powder dry when it comes to the media and player plaudits while they are fledgling 1st-graders (just look back to his comments re: Marshall, Farah, Gibbs, Fulton etc between 2003 and 2006)!
I'm glad .. the last thing you want is to bust your guts then not get a pat on the back.
Young front rowers are pretty rare nowadays. Put him on long term. He may take some time (like Gibbs did), but working with the likes of Folkes and co he could be one of the top props in the game
