Amazingly, Fifita is 4 years younger than TPJ and 6 years younger than Tapine.
Some league players just hit the ground running at a high level as soon as they're eligible. But in the forwards it's very rare.
Hence Fifita at 18 might be the best at that age since Taumalolo who debuted at 17. (
@AlwaysGreen don't know about you but all this talk of 17 and 18yr olds is making me excited).
It puts into perspective SBWs debut season when he was Fifita's age. He was arguably the Dogs best and led them to a Premiership.
Funnily enough give Brisbane a halfback with Brent Sherwin's kicking game and they'd probably win the comp too.
