Big kudos to Canterbury for making a stand. They'll earn a lot of respect from this.

This is Julian O'Neil setting a kid in a mascot costume on fire, jumping overboard and washing up on a reef level RL failure

In a real work place Fifita wouldn't be publically harassed by immediate superior (Gallen), in a real work place Fifita wouldn't be bagged for fulfilling his contract and choose not to stay with his current place of employment.

Take out those factors and I bet Fifita doesn't say what he did.

But that isn't a justification. He still shouldn't have said what he did. Gallen was unprofessional, so was Fifita.

If the Dogs know what they are doing they'll be in talks with him to let him fulfill his wish. Then they'd get on the phone to Tedesco and Hiku offering them each 50% of Fifita's money.

If they did that my money would be on them as 2015 premiers.

Good point- totally agree.

850k for a prop was crazy money for a team with a glaring need at fullback.

I think they came to their senses and used his comments to get out of a horrifically bad deal for them.

The Mole said it had to do with 3rd party deals. Anybody who has watched him talk knows he could barely get a order through a McDonalds drive thru speaker let alone represent a 3rd Party Sponsor at events

The guy hasn't played a union game in his life. The backs struggle enough when they change codes. With Fifita's intelligence, he will struggle.

100% , he will get no room to play off the cuff football, and that's his go, he's fkd up big time here.

He says he wishes he chose rugby purely because he thinks he's going to get paid like Sam Burgess but the Super Rugby cap is $5m and the English Premiership cap is slightly over $8.5m.

How can a team pay 1/5th of their cap to a player who's never played the game before?

And any NRL team who pays a prop 850k is an idiot.

This is good because it lowers the market value for props again from the stupid money the Dogs were paying

What were they thinking to begin with?

It depends how much of it was 3rd party deals. If it was $250k or so he wasn't being paid overs. It was the Bulldogs just taking advantage of what they could offer him.

How does this round 13 clause work? Can anybody sign Milford prior to that date or just the Raiders?

:D
