I'm going to just come out and say it - those deals for Fifita are completely insane.

Sure, he's young, and he has shown tremendous ability, and potential - but in my opinion, his fitness, mobility, and agility in defence do not place him in the upper echelons of edge forwards just yet.

He may get there one day, but I know I, for one, would feel more comfortable with Ryan Matterson defending on one edge, when we are clinging to a small lead, than David Fifita.
Maybe trolley boy is better than Big Mal...

Yup agree 100%

He makes one great run per match, is his main trademark

What else? compared to other backrowers like Murray, Brown, Matto, Cordner etc...

There's so many News Ltd journos I dislike but Crawley is probably top of the list, or maybe in a dead heat with Big Man Voice Hooper. Watched the segment tonight where they were talking about Bennett and Crawley just had to mention how he'd spoken to Bennett just the other day and Crawley reckons he can't see Bennett going anywhere. It really added nothing to the conversation, Crawley just wanted everyone to know he had spoken to Wayne Bennett. Fart sniffer of the highest order that merkin

I wish Voss would get laryngitis, then we could just have Lara.

It probably added a fair bit. Perhaps the idea that Bennett isn't going anywhere.

Gran Torino Bennett

Is he coaching elsewhere next year or staying put?

Dominating early discussion

James Cooper was writing an article about how he thought Bennett was 66/1 and drifting to stay Souths, when he got a call from Bennett himself that he is staying at Souths till end 2021
