HOW GOOD IS DAVID FIFITA

[AnotherOne]

(except FB)

Not gonna lie, seeing Fifita at FB would be entertaining

 

[supercoach]

One Plays full back and one plays backrow. Like comparing a sports car with a land cruiser. They both are great but have different uses. So you would go for the one you have the most need for and as our roster stands now Teddy would be my pick

TBH with Fifita's try last weekend, he got through Esan's tackle attempt (plenty have done that), got past Hess I think it was (not a noted defender), outpaced Taumalolo (not exactly a speedster) and stepped Holmes (whose defence is very questionable). Good try but the sum of it's parts are what they are. Would be a massive call throwing 10 million $$/10 year contract at him IMO. Good player but all this talk of him being better than Tallis etc is a bit prematurely over the top IMO.

You're kidding yourself aren't you? He's easily worth it.

Watch his highlight reel again

Highlight reel?.
Still digesting the Tyson Gamble one.
Will be interesting to see where Fifita is at career-wise in 3 or 4 seasons let alone 10.

Is my sarcasm detector not working, or are you serious?

The bloke has already represented Australia...are you suggesting he's peaked?

I promise David's will be more enjoyable than Tyson's

Just realised David Fifita will be running at Benji when we play broncos. Think the Leilua bro’s will have to help him out big time 😂

Ben Hunt, Dane Gagai, Josh McGuire, Aaron Woods and Jordan Maclean have all represented Australia as well. Hardly elite company in the grand scheme of things....
Fifita is a decent player, talk of him being better than Tallis etc is WAAAY premature. Let's see where he is in a few years like I said. He'd wanna avoid trips overseas for starters, he mightn't have the luxury of the Broncos bribing his way out of trouble next time.

Hardly elite company?? They've all represented their state as well... you're a tough judge.

Earlier you used Tyson Gamble in the same sentence, now your talkin Tallis.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I believe Fifita will be as good as they get.

If you believe he is going to be a superstar, great, that's your opinion as you say.
My opinion is he has flashy highlights but in the week to week grind he doesn't hold a candle to say Taumalolo, who rips in regardless of the scoreline: Fifita seems to me to be a bit of a downhill skier. Didn't think he had a great game against the Cowboys but his try got people excited, prompting some to compare him to Tallis and state that Fifita will be the best 2nd rower the game has ever seen.
As far as using Hunt, Woods, MacClean etc as examples, I was saying they are hardly considered elite players yet they represented Australia: as we have seen footy is as much about politics as talent these days.
Fifita might go down as a legend, he might not. I will lean towards the latter. Time will tell.

Fifita, no contest. He’s 7 years younger than Tedesco. As it stands, I think the 3 most valuable players in the game are Fifita, Tedesco and Haas. Don’t let Fifita”s performance overshadow how good Haas is. He’s just as good. As for what Fifita is worth? Taulmalolo is on a million a year. If that’s the benchmark, he commands at least 1 million.

I think HAAS has resigned FIFTA still available
I think put the cat amongst the pigeons 4 million over 3 years

You can offer, but he’s not going to come. He won’t leave Brisbane.

Put the pressure on the donkeys with there roster they will have cap pressure being QLD beach umbrella pressure

You have it in 1.
If this guy is such a superstar, we probably won't sign him. Someone said 4 million over 3 years... 1.3mil.
NOPE
You don't get motivation.
I know one guy who was working at facebook HR. He was offered a crazy salary 500k. He said no because he liked his team and company culture.
Doubt me? Look at Mitchell Latrell. We clearly could have given him 800-900 per season. He signed with the Rabbits. He signed because the Rabbits had cultural links and significance that money can't buy and he probably signed on half of what our offer was!

You want him to sign?
Hire his favourite assistant coach at Brisbane.
Build a forward pack that he would want to play with. See how Cronulla got Luke Lewis, then far too many tigers forwards. You get a guy like Gallen and the forwards will look up to him.
It's how Gold coast signed Hayne, they signed Parra's old assistant coaches.

We brought backs this year. We were savvy to buy the Leilua brothers. But we are lacking in the forwards department. Fifita would never sign for us, as a forward who would want to get pommelled each weak after weak.
But you set up the culture right. You make us a place where forwards can play with their idols we might be able to nab some top shelf talent when the Broncos piss them off.

Meanwhile as Elderslie has said. Bid high, we won't get him but we will make Brisbane pay top $ for him while we raid their juniors.
