Great news, wonder if.he is going to be in squad for Hudds. game.

Would be a boost for Sunday's game if he is.

Finally. Great news. Really hope he hits the ground running and makes the impact we hope & need.

I'd guess the club will be determining how fit he is, when was the last time he played etc, there's no hiding in the modern game.

He played in the Tonga v Samoa test a few month or two ago. Been playing in Cronullas feeder team also... Should be relatively fit unless hes been pigging out everyday hes been here the past couple of week which I doubt.

Looks like a big unit at just under 19st.
We've lacked a bit of grunt in the middle recently, let's just hope he's a grafter.

Welcome aboard !

Even if he is not quite 100% coming off the bench for a couple of 20 min's. spells will probably give us a lift.

He's got all the gear to be a massive hit in SL; big, aggressive and with experience in the cauldron that is the NRL front row.

Fingers crossed - a few 20 minute spells of bashing it up the middle to get him match ready, and we could have a handy forward on our books, just in time for the final run-in.

Welcome on board David.

Hopefully, he can add a bit of power up front

Good news. I reckon Super League will suit him.
We seem to have an affinity with Cronulla. We've had quite a few from them.
It will help that he knows a couple of the guys already

Welcome on board David. I reckon the call with be "Fifita Smash"

With this addition and hopefully the return of England we should get some much needed size in the pack. We have been struggling all season in that department despite some valiant efforts.

I'm not expecting anything instant but with a few games under his belt and Moore returning soon we'll be a lot better off hopefully.

Welcome aboard David

Most welcome news. Lets see what he can do

Very welcome news
Just the lift we needed going into the game with Huddersfield and with a bit of a question mark over how he will affect our performance so if it distracts Huddersfield then that works for me

Just been reading the cronulla forum - they didn't want him to go and were giving him high praise until as recently as March this year.

Apparently not getting much game time - which the supporters don't agree with.

A few quotes:

"Pretty disappointed to hear that. I only saw David play a few times but I was pretty impressed with him whenever he played 1st grade. I don't know why he was so far down on the list in the 1st place."

"I want him to be playing first grade for us. Fair enough if he's being left out due to attitude or whatever but on ability he really should be there."

"Yeah, i think he's gone for a 2 year deal, not to sure, hopefully he will come back to the Sharks"

"Bit disappointing this, deserves to be in the top 17"

"Was gutted when he didn't slot in, especially because he needs the game time. Our bench is far too light atm & taga + heigno don't even come close to matching what fifita & gal do out of the blocks"


And my personal favourite - "Don't slam the door on the way out D.Fifita."

No fifita in squad to face huddersfield kirmond england and bjb come in for molloy simon and a topou

Great news about David Fifita signing! Looking forward to watching him play. He will really bolster the Trinity pack.

I have a funny feeling he will take to the pitch tomorrow out of the blue he will turn up in the 17...just a feeling though..

I think hudds will already be distracted. U19s player Ronan Costello air lifted to hospital yesterday and match against Salford abandoned. I think that will be preying on the players minds.

Saw something about that, poor lad. Have their been anymore updates?

No, no details about the type of injury sustained, or his condition. Just that it was a serious injury and he was air lifted to Leeds general infirmary.

Best wishes to the lad - here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Sad to see things like this. I hope he has a quick recovery.

Ronan Hit his head on the ground whilst being tackled, no foul play or blame with anyone, just a freak accident.

He was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary where he underwent surgery for his injury, he remains there in a critical condition.

I've coached against Ronan for a number of years and have been his coach at Huddersfield for the last two years. He is a strong character and a superb young man, all at Wakefield Trinity are thinking of him and my prayers and best wishes are with him and his family at this really difficult time.
