His my house call when he kicked that field goal was cringe worthy. Shame about the no punch rule.

Was poor.

If he kicked the field goal for his "native" Wests (Tigers), different story.

But to say that on people he effectively deserted was very disrespectful imo.

Massive. He got smashed when he came back after the break but he just got up and played the ball. No milking. No shit. That's when he's the best prop in the game.

Just caught the end of the conversation on NRL 360 about Fifitas latest comments that he has no regrets over the FKL thing. The 2 journals and Ikin/Kent were blowing up saying again that he was the biggest clown in the game and should be rubbed out etc. I haven't read the Fifita article. Is there much in it?

He pretty much said that he doesnt regret helping an old mate that was doing it tough. And that the integrity unit know the whole story and understood what was happening. He doesnt really elaborate on any more detail other than that from what i have seen.

Last time I checked, rehabilitation is more effective when supported by close friends and family. Rehabilitation is still an objective of the corrections process, isn't it? And Fifita is a close mate of Kieran Loveridge, isn't he?

Journos jumping up and down about Fifita's message rubbing the memory of tragic events in the face of Thomas Kelly's family, yet having no qualms in squeezing as much milage as possible out of this story themselves. Are they personally connected in any way, or just cashing in?

Fifita would have been wiser to be more sensitive to the issue, but his message was one of supporting a friend, not the friend's crime. Certainly wasn't directed towards the Kelly family in any way. NSW Police issuing a consorting notice is completely inappropriate aka bullshit. Exactly like the govt response to the 'plague' of violence.

My deepest sympathies are still to Thomas Kelly and family, but ethically I'm 100% against witch-hunting.

I asked two of the journos who were there when he "apparently" said it to release the audio of it. Both of them brushed it off.

Believe what you want to believe.

Hope Fifita wins and then tells Kent to f**k off.
The headline on his latest article is a blatant attempt to put him off his game.

I f**king stupid is he to comment on it though? Why doesn't he just say "I have put that issue behind me and have no further comment".

I have no problem with what he did but he's already been convicted in the court of public opinion and that's all that matters to the powers that be. He'll probably cop a $20,000 fine (perhaps donated to some charity) and miss the Kangaroo tour.

I'll say this ,the Telecrap clowns who keep interviewing him and bringing up the matter,are stirring the pot publicly.The victim's family would not want this issue, to be rehashed time and time again.These journos have NFI about peoples' emotions,nor care less.

Fifita anyway should remain silent and just say no further comment.He showed on friday night without the crap in his game,he can be top shelf stuff.

You don't get News Ltd rehashing the Buzz/Hayson betting issue or DUI Becs two strokes of the Bourbon ,in their paper repeated.Nor the phone hacking in the UK,nor their management sexual harassment in their Fox USA.Why keep brining up the Fifita act of stupidity?
FFS the 360 mob last night.should shut the F.. up and talk footy or foody if you are a Southern lisper.

He is baited all the time... I bet the questions was something like "do you regret visiting KL in prison to support him?"

After the Grand Final he should go and find those grub journos and ask them what they meant by calling him the biggest clown in the game.

He should carry a couple of rolls of toilet paper they'll need it.
