We dug him out of a hole when his NRL career was finished and tbf he went a lot better than I initially thought he would do as I thought he'd be a liability. Even tho he cost us a couple of pens & loose carries a game the good things he did in a game generally outweighed the bad and he managed to win round this old sceptic...only to go billy big-time on us and ultimately prove me right...pity really

As said its the first time I've heard something I don't like about Fifita.
I'm supposed to be the one with Rose tinted glasses but given his lack of fitness, ongoing injury issues and now not wanting to do a pretty simple thing that helps the team from Covid point of view and health as a whole..... It might well be time to look for a replacement. He hasn't been the guy we loved to watch for quite a while.

Very disappointed in him. Many sports players have made big sacrifices to get their sports up and running such as staying in a bubble away from their families and this seems a really silly stance to take. May be more to it that we will probably never know but he's certainly let down the fans with his actions.

Is this GPS tracker just the thing they have been wearing for the last few seasons during the game so they can measure metres run etc or is it something they have to wear 24/7 to check they are not going to the pub catching covid,,,.?

Not sure but usually located below the neck centrally. I can’t see how it’s a problem to be honest. Union players where them and are bigger and have more bodies on them adding more pressure. I can only assume that this move motivated.

Really silly this.

Here we go again, you have no idea that’s the case.

So Tupou, Lyne, Tanginoa etc, they are all racist blacks, only Dave is the real deal.

Ok mate you carry on making it up to suit your agenda.

Plenty more fish in the sea as they say, players come and go for different reasons but we the club must keep going at all costs .Wont be long until we have another fans favourite to wax lyrical about .My guess if he leaves it will be to an english club as he’s way down the standards of an Aussie prop and would be looking at a feeder team at best .

Is that actually what happened? I don't think it was

I'm not certain but I don't think it's that tracker.
It is additional.

But still. If he had to play in a face mask it's better than the club going under because we have no sky money, or worse someone getting covid because they didn't know who'd been in contact in and before the game.

Just wear the chuffing thing.

Agree but think that ship has sailed. Don’t think this was the actual problem and more than likely it’s move motivated.

Really poor attitude. Been a top player for us and a real fan favourite but time to cut ties...thanks for the good times Dave but no comeback from this...

Give over man nowt to do with that and for what it's worth I fully support the team in linking arms

How can it be move related?

If he wanted to move I’m sure he’s big enough to come out and say so?

He’s refusing to comply with competition rules, so is not making himself look good to any future employer is he...

If he’s refusing to wear it, then I’d say he’d refuse to wear it even if he moved because that’s his stance...

I take it that's his career finished surly he's not going to play for someone else and wear a gps

How many players have used stupid stunts to initiate moves. Lots all in different ways some on their own accord and probably some via instructions from their agent. This stinks of it to me but I could be wrong though.

Surely this should have a tongue in cheek emoji at the end. Unless you are deadly serious.

Doesn't take folk on here long to start sticking the knife in.

Curious to know how you think people should react? Considering the amount of fans who wrote off this year season’s tickets to help the club stay afloat.

Disagree with that to be honest.
More like disappointment and disbelief in the fact that (some) posters fave player cant abide by the track and trace rules like the other players have done.

And yet despite that he was our leading forward meter maker in both games against Catalan. He is our best forward. He’s been a popular guy in the dressing room often lifting the mood, a crowd favourite, especially with the kids, and one of probably just 3 ‘X’ factor players we have along with Johnstone and Tupou. Two of these are highly unlikely to be with us next year. He time here might be up but lets not try to pretend he won’t be missed.

It would be nice to hear what his side of the story is as right now it seems a strange stance for him to take.

Well it will certainly show his loyalties won't it, if he wants to move on then just say so I'd have far more respect for him

do you not think he's let the players, club and fans down then

Suppose it depends on ones point of view snowie. Maybe he wants to as it was reported he wants to go to Catalan or maybe he didnt like taking a pay cut then bringing players in or maybe he just cant be d anymore. Maybe the club want rid so have hung him out to dry to turn the fans against him and force the issue. I'm sure someone on here with all their great knowledge and connections will find out.
