Would Fifita consider coming back?

[BrotherJim05]

I read a rumor that Fifita is unhappy at the Sharks and considering a code switch to Union. Probably a complete load of rubbish but it got me thinking….would Fifita ever consider coming back to the WT?

Alot of people would think he never would due to the way he was treated, but all of those who were responsible with him being shipped off to the sharks are gone (Sheens, Humphreys etc). Tigers will have a pretty decent sized salary cap space for 2015 so he would definitely be compensated with a very lucrative contract.

One can only dream.

 

[Tommy Magpie]

Why not? I understand he still has lots of mates at the club. We should get on the front foot and lure him back.

 

[Abraham]

Problem is that 15 other NRL clubs would also be tripping over themselves to sign him (along with almost every Super Rugby Club).

He can basically write his own cheque, assuming his form holds for 2014.

Not All…Warren McDonnell is still here !

Coming back to the Tigers for Fifita would be like hooking up with your ex wife again…..There is no way he'd entertain coming back to the Tigers...leaving us was the catalyst for his meteoric rise.

McDonnell does junior recruitment. Wouldn't have anything to do with Fifita if he came back. Sheens was his problem.

He has lots of friends here. We're still a possibility.

Have we ditched the 2 dressing rooms?

Stop Blaming sheens.

Regardless of talent, He was fat, lazy and refused to train. That was his problem at the tigers.

Hardly a rumour considering it was all over the press this morning!

Manly are chasing really hard I have heard , they have dropped off chasing Woods though (which is good for us )

 

[galea_11]

well done to him he has turned around his career . but I can see the whole sonny bill cycle with him 1 yr deals coming up soon . I don't think he will still b on top of his game in 3yrs time

Yes

 

[pHyR3]

good to hear :slight_smile:

edit: not about the source haha, about manly not chasing woods.

 

[Knuckles]

A better question is do we want him back ?
I have my doubts whether he is a consistent year in year out type of player.

 

[Guest]

I'd take him back at the right price provided his form justifies it. I'm sure there would be a few Tigers players wanting him to come back. He is very good mates with Woods…

 

[Knuckles]

I'm sure most agree with Willow. I would only want him back if he wants to be back and his heart is in the Wests Tigers …. I can't say this was the case last time.

 

[innsaneink]

I think ppl make up BS about him & his time here to make it easier to deal with his loss.

All these stories about his desire and training ethics, all speculation….nothing like truth and a good story etc etc

Fact is prior caoch and admin got sucked into releasing him, a future Origin & WC player - brilliant

 

[Eye_Of_Da_Tiger]

Would I have him back if I was Potter???…......IN A HEART BEAT!!! :brick:

 

[Sabre]

With Humphries and Sheens gone I would say it's a chance.
I'm fairly certain he is still very close mates with most if our squad and that he would probably rather be playing with them than Cronulla. Who knows, anything can happen.

Maybe:
Sheens -> Sharks
Fifita -> Tigers

I can see Cronulla choosing not to reinstate Flanagan in 2015\. They're gonna want to try and clean up their image and having Flanagan back on board won't look good for them.
