Andrew Fifita, the Dwight Howard of the NRL... Strong game but plays like he's at the park with his mates sometimes...

Graham was nonexistent which was a shame.
Could agree more...and very disturbing - he aint what he thinks he is...Fifita was great and shoe in for origin, Bird was solid as well

Best game by Fifita since 2013. Real dominant.

Bird was pretty good too, but went quiet once Maloney took over. Picked his moments well.

Graham was nonexistent which was a shame.

Agree on all 3 points.

Bird will improve when he roams and doesn't stick to his right channel. He doesn't get enough ball with dominant ballplayers on the other side. Maloney controlled the Country attack well but Bird needs to demand more ball at the Sharks. Hopefully, this experience helps him to learn to get more ball.

Fifita was dominant. So hard to handle when his head is on. Him playing Origin will be good for us getting him back to playing at elite level.

Can't say I am too surprised that Graham didn't stand out. Good first grader but not elite.

Thanks for the wrap up weapon. Didn't see much of city country with the fight on - well didn't see much of Bird.

Good to see he went ok - also great to hear Fifita was on - hope he brings that back to the Sharks for the rest of the season. Maybe his "rest" has done him a world of good?

In the City Country game one of the commentators mentioned that part of the game plan was for the country forwards to target Fifita. Good to see that he overcame that and still had a solid game. Hope we can keep him on the field all season.

The performance of NZ doesn't bode well for us this weekend, at least with the Rep warriors confidence.

Tripped someone.

Again.

How many times is that?

just before he did the trip attempt he pushed someone in the back of the head which didn't get picked up by refs or commentators...then that stupid shoulder charge/high shot a few minutes later... the guy's a f**kin idiot. not even in a 'he gives it his all, a true competitor' bullshit way anymore...just out and out stupidity and immaturity

At least the Titans wont have Bird for our clash in a couple of weeks time, we really need to win that game, the loss earlier in the year was an embarrassment

Yeah bird is looking at 6 weeks for that tackle ( which I thought was a wonderful one )
While Reynolds is only looking at 1 week for his 4th tripping offence

According to talkin sport
