| Quote ="upthecats"From the good things I saw on Friday I think he will be a revelation for us, arguably one of the best overseas signings we will see in our colours.
For his first stint, considering he may have needed the run...he took more carries than anyone else in our side and made more metres...he continually drew in 3 or 4 defenders and for a big lad got a superbly quick play the ball...when we learn to play off him he could be devastating for us...
The errors I can forgive because he was heavily involved and the conditions were poor...he clearly got frustrated and again I can forgive that...he was easily our most dangerous forward and played in probably the most dominated pack I've seen this season...Leeds pack making over 900 metres in the game while ours was in the 400's...what we missed was leadership in the middle, an old head at times to have a word and settle him down...missing Kirmond, Scruton and Tupou though we didn't have that experience and leadership up front...
Will be a great signing for us once he settles in...no doubt about it!'"
I totally agree with your points but especially the part saying when we learn to play of him. He continually drew 3 and more players so this will create the gaps for the quicker men to exploit and with better conditions ahead his offloads should come off. I really did think he tried to hard in conditions not suitable but I am looking forward to seeing him again.

He looks like a big girls blouse to me played about 5 stone under his weight.
Coaching staff need to show him tapes of Simon and Anakin running the ball in hard and straight thats all he needs to do.'"
Wasn't there on friday away on holiday - was he really that bad ? as this seems to contradict some of the other posters on here ?
Have heard he may have an injury that may keep him out thursday - which could leave us very short of forwards - am hoping that Kirmond and /or tupou are available as without them we have lacked a leader in the pack.

| It was a perfect storm - a big, aggressive, enforcer type prop, trying to make his mark in a new team; comes up against awful conditions and James Child, who loves the sound of his own whistle.
Feel for the bloke - he'll be filthy on himself, as I believe they say in Aus; or spewing, as Mr Kear said after the controversial Mr Cobb denied Batley a big win over Bradford.

1 it wasn't on our line it was at least 20 meters out 2 that was the only time he run sideways 3 it was taking 4-5 players to bring him down so hardly running under is weight 4 England dropped the ball more times then him 5 i never seen him back into contact once so if your going to bag someone at least tell the truth

| Is David Fifita injured then? Thought club may have announced it to influence RFL with JJB's 'legal' tackle

There's a difference between calling it as it was and calling a player names from a laptop in your mums back bedroom.

I've just got back from a holiday in Australia and whilst there spoke to a couple of rugby league supporters about us signing David Fifita and they both said that they thought he would go well in England and is a decent signing and once he's up to speed would probably go well.
No guarantees I know but it's just another opinion to counter yours.

| Fifita hasnt had a look in as Cronullas forwards have been in great form as the whole team has too. He had an infected knee this year which has obviously been a set back for him.
The main reason he has come over is to help his older brother who seems to be suffering from depression from injuries. He did the same with Andrew after a whole load of pressure was mounted on his shoulders - I reapect that.
On Friday yes he may have not had a great game, but he was the most effective out of the others and the others also made the same or more mistakes than him and I personally saw enough from him to see once he is settled that he'll become good for us even if he is only here for the rest of the season. If your thinking that hes only here on other business I saw a whole load of effort from him which would say otherwise - he wasnt lazy in attack or defence give the bloke a chance.....

Has he done a Ferres or Carney to you missus because you only seem to have negative things to say about the guy.

| What a performance it's been from Fifita - finally he looks like his brother. A tackle bust machine, strong runner, offload king. If he tidies up the penalties and tackle technique you lot could have made a top signing there.

Well that's another own goal then for the Keyboard warriors!
Some of the comments about him after ONE game were just plain juvenile and bloody stupid.
