Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Fifita has the talent to be the best 2nd rower in the game.

Put him in a winning team with motivators around him ...

Love the effort Seyfarth puts in but jeez the team would go up another level with a firing Fifita on that edge.

Isn't beau fermor off contract next year? Why would we sign Fifita when we can get fermor? Does the gritty stuff as well as the attacking threat.

Good player. I’d be happy to have him at the tigers.

We need to keep players like TDS and Bula if we want to avoid being a shitheap again.

From memory we had both of those players and we were in the shitheap!

This year, were not in the Shitheap and the reason was not the up-n-coming Fullback or potential Hooker (but both have done well).
The reason were out of the shitheap is:
Luai co-ordinates defense.
Turuva + Skelton actually defend our edge. This stops us giving away 4 tries a game. Suddenly we have defensive structure.

"you can loose any player, as long as you are upgrading" Wayne Bennett.

If Haywood has more potential and is playing better then TDS, we can loose TDS.
TDS has been doing good. 400k I would resign him and put him alongside Api. But if we start talking stupid money... we let him go.

Bula has been pretty damn awesome. I just wish he had a different manager. We let Issac Moses back in by bringing Galvin in* with Moses as manager, whoops he signs up Bula!
We can't have Moses around our club. Any player we develop will be out of here and we loose juniors. Rip this bandaid off!

*Bateman/etc as well.

not as good as fifita

True he is not but there is 1 difference…
Fermat has a decent dig for 80 mins Fifita has a go but as soon as it gets that bit hard he goes MIA

Fogarty rejects Raiders extension and set to sign 3 year $2.1m deal with Manly from 2026

He’s worth $700 a year in this day and age

Actually surprised he didn’t get more

I read he has been dropped for the Titan's game this weekend. Has he peaked at 22/23? On his contract, which would be large, he should be able to motivate himself.

He’s a big lazy bum. Always has been.
The salary he earns has been overs for his whole career….likely on potential.

 

[mactiger]

Has anyone heard anything about Taylan may are we going to sign him up he should come at a cheap price

 

[liltiger]

Penrith was the team I hated most after what Ivan did to us but the top spot has been taken over by the eels and Dogs. Sharing equal first

Iv got to be honest it's Parra for me everytime I see Moses smug face looking at himself on the big screen during a game I'm silently hoping a magpie has a go at him, the Panthers I was off but if I'm a dad I totally understand what Ivan did and why he did it, doesn't excuse how he left us in a bad spot but even with an average roster he had us playing great grinding defensive football. He was the best coach we've had since Sheens first stint.
As for the dogs, iv got a bit of a soft spot for them, their fans are all genetically challenged, but they were exactly the same as us propping up the ladder for a few years absolutely hopeless, now they're flying so I don't mind the dogs tbh.

Totally agree
His heart is smaller proportioned to his body
Type of attitude we dont need

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

Fifita is the new Dave Taylor. A big lump who had early success but isn't willing to do the work to have longevity.

No news is good news according to Richardson's operating procedure.

The club's statement re the Galvin matter exposed the farce and to have Ryles publicly state the Eel' interest compounded the joke. You won't see Fitzgibbon releasing players early from the Sharks because it cuts to the heart of what a strong team environment should be. I like it that Richardson has brought steel to WTs dealings over the roster etc and our club should learn a lot from how Fitzgibbon built that new culture at the Sharks.

Its well known dave fifitas history im just thinking out loud if our resurgent forward pack and change of scenery could inspire him to be better....like May did from easts to us

I think we'll get through this season with Galvin. And then no way Richo grants an early release unless we receive something considerable in return.

Me to, my first thought was if the waiders offered less the 700 then they low balled by 50 or so at least.

idk...there has always been a stench around David Fifita...I'd take him for $600k, but he wont take that.

I reckon if ya told him that, he’d go “Kool”
