David Fifita

[I Bleed Maroon]

He's gonna be some player. Between him, TPJ and Su'A, our future pack is looking frightening. Finally.

All you southern (and northern) merkins can keep your hands off.

 

[T-Boon]

I don't think he is any good and I don't like him.

 

[blaza88z]

Did he get stuck into your missus?

 

[Russell Coight]

Won't ever be good at giving accidental headclashes like Dylan Napa though

 

[gUt]

One word: SCARY

Seriously how good does he look for an 18 1/2 year old forward?

He looks horrifying to defend against and is the best teenage forward I've seen since Taumalolo. Maybe even SBW.

In a couple of years David Fifita will make Andrew Fifita look like David Fifita.

Lucky for Brisbane they have the Thoroughbreds because they'll need to dig deep to keep this one.

Admit it. The only reason for this thread is to showcase this line.

Didn't you poach TPJ off of Canberra to begin with?

I won't lie I was quite proud of myself.

Born in Sydney, played juniors in Newcastle then moved to Canberra.

A Brisbane boy through and through.

Best teenage forward since Payne haas and before him Adam ritson

Sione was the better the trainer so we lost TPJ to the Raiders.
Once the Raiders signed Tapine from us, TPJ gave Wayne a call and the rest is history.

 

[blaza88z]

He was homesick

 

[nick87]

TPJ was out a long way out before we signed Tapine.
The Tapine poaching was a direct result of TPJ leaving... i think we are very culpable on that, we didnt give TPJ the FG chances he had earned and deserved.

if TPJ didnt leave, i dont think we're ever in the Tapine market. Interestingly, player to player, its pretty close now. Both incredible talents.

You'd take TPJ over Tapine every day of the week and i'd say the same thing if Tapine was a Bronco and TPJ a Raider

I dont disagree. I would trade Tapine for TPJ.
Im just saying it's close, Tapine is a very, VERY good young edge forward. We're not talking Inglis v Pommeroy here. We're talking two very good young players, that's all. Tapine is not getting the attention he deserves tbh. If he played for a big market club things would be a little different for him

 

[Woosh]

Mitch Barnett anyone?

 

[blaza88z]

Mitch Barnett anyone?

You're not even a Newcastle fan, you only became a Newcastle "fan" when Gagai signed with them and have hung around like a bad smell ever since, before that you were annoying the f**k out of Brisbane fans

 

[Spot On]

Gags at his dominant best in defence again v Canberra.

Pangia Jnr can turn a match in 5 mins, something Tapine cannot. No comparison between them imo.

I think Sua is more comparable to SBW.
