I'll tell you what we'd be going alright with Fifita and Woods packing down with Farah up front…ahh it hurts to think about it.

such as who? woods, farah, fulton all solid. thompson scored a good try. murdoch-marsila made an impact. the much-maligned blair hangs in there in a cloud of mediocrity, completely overshadowed by the player he replaced, fifita.

With the exception of his line break where he went through untouched and the very last try right on the line we actually handled him better than any club I've seen him come up against this year. 143 metres is low for Andrew over the past 12 weeks. He generally cracks 200.

and that would be counting the 60 metres he ran for the try too … so his actual hitup metres were remarkably lower than usual

Unfortunately, Fifita is gone so we have to forget about with it, there is not much use crying over the past errors.
We can only hope that we will not repeat the same error again with our current NYC players :slight_smile:

are you being sarcastic or what ?
every man and his dog knew fifita was going to be a top notch player , he used to make 60 metre breaks up the middle leaving players in his wake . fifita was always going to make it in the top grade .stubborn timmy was the only person who has other ideas because the kid from blacktown has attitude issues in his opinion .

True, both of fifita's tries were due to soft defence on our part, although I think sue did ok to bring him down when fifita scored his 2nd try, he shouldn't have been isolated like that. Take away those 2 massive lapses in defence & fifita barely makes 100m, woods easily outplays him. Damn we're frustrating to watch!!

His effort in covering, giving Nofo start, catching him and putting him into touch was - dare I say it - an origin play

You're right on that call Ink. For a big bloke he can motor and like Woods, really does lead by example out there and get through a lot of work.

Yep. I think it was pretty clear how good he was.

just hope he does the same to QLD when close to their line just run as hard as he can at thurston or smith

So you are saying that Fifita is faster than Nofo? He came across in cover which is a lot shorter that running him down from behind.
If you watch the replay, you will see that Marshall contributed in no small way to that play. Marshall is walking along minding his own business, (instead of trying to give back up for an inside pass) he watches as Fifita runs past him and instead of running interference for Nofo, which he would be entitled to do, he watches a great covering tackle.
It should also be noted that there were two other sharks between Nofo and the tryline, so there was no certainty that he would have scored.

The myth grows onwards and upwards, now approaching stratospheric heights. When with us Fifita ran sideways, bounced off tacklers with his 'I'm an Alpha male ' routine', sometimes straightened up and more often than not just gave defences a chance to get organised. His minutes were limited and his off field attitude poor. Now the hindsight merchants are in full cry because he's showing some form. We lacked Vision?, our development focus was poor? Blah, blah, blah, what a load of self serving dross. He's in an environment now where he's showing signs of reaching some of his potential? I'm happy for him, life will often provide those twists
