Andrew Fifita

[BIG RIG]

Reported on NRL 360 that we are very interested in signing him for this yr

What do you guys think ?

Could do worse than a proven player with a point to prove. Like Hunt and AM he likes the coach.

Not totally sold, and he's old, but worth considering if you can get him cheap.

I think it’s already being discussed in the rumours thread..

And your point is?

What I like about this bloke is the fire he brings to a forward pack.. something we lack at the moment.. at the right price it’s worth a go.

Hook isn’t mucking around, no rebuilding year he wants finals this year.

 

[Coffs dragon]

He’s half good....due one knee is good & the other is shot!
Proceed with caution

Agree in as much as signing him on a 1 year deal , with an option for a 2nd in the clubs favor , but only if the sharks are throwing in a fair slice of his salary .

As said by others , we need big bods in the pack to be able to compete against other teams and also he may decide to knuckle down to the task at hand under a new coach who has faith in him - as long as his knees hold out .

And your point is?

My point is that I have one.

I thought the 2021 Squad, Signings, Resigning was the go to thread for this one. It is not a Rumour Muzby it is real (apparently). Ok Rumours Thread until I hear something more solid.

At his best he is a machine.
At his worst he is absolutely terrible.
Risky signing but I have to say, after a little deliberation, I don’t hate the idea.
I want to win games of football, Saturday night was fun.

Do you dream about duplicate threads?

Maybe we can use this thread you once posted when we play the dogs..

Dragons offer 150 grand this year and 300 next year. His contract with sharks is 800 this year so they have paid almost 6 months already. I don’t like the bloke but at that freight I would drive him to the gong.

 

[Evil Emperor Zurg]

It’s like signing another Rulon. But one with talent.

Do you often stalk people’s posts from 12 years ago?

I liked the butcher.



Just nothing that he did on the field, I must add.

We need Mongrel , someone that takes it to the edge ..... He might just fit the bill at the right price ......

 

[Dragonslayer]

Some talk the Sharks are willing to chip in up to 90% of his salary (ie we would be up for about 50k) just to get him off their books.
At that price its a no brainer for that added mongrel we've been asking for.

I like the suggestion of a one year contract with a second year option in the club’s favour. Fifita would provide good backup and possibly prove to be an astute acquisition if he does not suffer further injury. His ability to break tackles and unload would compliment the skills of our current forwards.
