Absolutely agree
He’s struggled with a knee injury but Andrew is still a tremendous prop forward
He’s done it at every level too, so much experience and still class
Truly excellent news if true and just what we need at the mo

| He is what we have been asking for a rugged prop who takes the ball in and when he tackles someone they know about it. I know he is only one player but we currently need all the help we can get. I am sure if it was announced on the team bus the club realises it is something the squad needed to boost what must be a fairly demoralised bunch with our results over a long period.

| We need some size, go forward and we need some offload
The squad needs a boost
This is massive
I called this two seasons ago
Andrew has had injuries but he’s always a player that can create something from nothing

| Wow possibly one of the best if not the best front rower possibly coming in and we still have negative elements. Put AF in the team all day long get a hooker as well or give Bowes some game time and we will be a different animal.

| Would be a huge signing and just what we need.
Some decent go forward with an off load game and some on field presence.
Let's just hope that the rumour is true

Just about says it all about this forum , he’s playing in nsw cup at moment so he must be match fit - tbh if he does come would be biggest thing that’s happened in last twenty years.
One player isn’t going to make difference between top and bottom but if we could get both fafita brothers battye tanginoa and westerman on field we would have one hell of a pack

| If you can get him but not have to pay a big salary it's worth a shot for a season. He's not played 1st grade this season and only managed 12 game last season so there are risks. He's not the player he once was so don't be expecting him to be something he isn't.

| If Sharks are willing to pay his wages they must have future plans for him, which suggests they don't see him as 'washed up' just yet and see his value - that in itself is good enough for me regarding his fitness and ability which just leaves his attitude...presumably he's also seeing this as a way of keeping match fit and playing his way either back into Sharks reckoning or into shop window.
For these reasons I'm gonna focus on the positives this move would bring...whilst keeping my fingers crossed...after all I was one of the original doubters when DF first signed and have been pleasantly surprised by the overall impact he's had across all of his time with us

| An exciting name that’s for sure.
But, and I don’t mean to be negative, I’m worried that we’re just wasting funds on a coach whose run out of ideas at this point.

| WOW!
I cant believe what i am reading here!
If there is ANY Chance of signing A Fifita we should be snapping the hand off. A genuinely world class player and some people it seems genuinely think that he would not bring anything to this team??. The mind boggles.
IF he comes, he will not be 5th choice prop he will be first choice prop.
Yes there is a risk with his knee but well worth the gamble IMO.
On the struggling to lose weight issue. I might be on my own here, but Big Dave looks lighter than ever this season yet so far seems a little less effective.

| Link from the official NRL site.
[urlhttps://www.nrl.com/news/2021/04/12/super-league-switch-option-looms-for-fifita/?utm_source=NRLFBContent&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=NetworkContent[/url
Main bit that stood out for me is this bit....
[i
Fifita could link with his twin David at Wakefield Trinity in a move which would further ease Cronulla's salary cap strain but there has been no formal talks over a switch.
Any club looking to take up the remaining 18 months of Fifita's contract would need to pay a significant portion for the Sharks to consider granting a release.[/i
Might not be as much of a slam dunk yet as is being reported. Cronulla are wanting to free up cap space, anything they have to pay still counts on their cap. So even if we went half & half we'd have to find around about 220K! And we've got to find a home for Tangata first as well otherwise he'll also need paying off.

This.
Hopefully it's not another Anthony Tupou type of signing where he'd suffered too many serious injuries and struggled.
Could Trinity also pick up a promising big prop from Championship or France or Union?
Need more than one prop IMHO Triallist few weeks ago?

| Didn't anyone watch the pre season match Indigenous All Stars against the Maori All Stars ? It was a ferocious match Fifita looked to have lost a lot of weight he played the full 80mins and was described in commentary as the best forward in the game.
Edit...... I adjusted the name of the teams for accuracy. PT

| So would this be the equivalent of Wally Lewis coming all those years ago?!! Reading between the lines it does seem as if it's still a long way off from actually happening, but if it does, it could certainly be an interesting situation! Just one thing kind of linked, as re. taking gambles with players who have had injuries, i'm pretty sure Josh Wood came off last season with a makeshift sling for his arm/elbow, does he have a weakness there? I know he missed the whole season for Salford in 2019, but not sure what his injury was. I noticed someone else mentioned Anthony Tupou, and let's not forget Pauli Pauli who we signed after his car accident etc, we just don't seem to have a good track record recently, but if he does come, and in a couple of months more and more fans are allowed back, surely he would put a thousand or two on attendances?
