Fifita

[Craigshark]

I love him..

But.

Can he please just run hard in to the defence and look for a quick play the ball? That's when he plays his best football. Too much running and then stopping at the line trying to bump every player off. It's part of our problem in attack. The halves get the ball on the next play and have no time or room. Prior last night was huge, ran hard, made metres and got quick play the balls. I don't mind Fifita doing his bump thing every now and then, especially if he thinks he's a chance close to our line, but not every single time he runs the ball. It's frustrating to watch.

I will give him the benefit of the doubt over last nights performance. Particularly the last 5 min.

They said on Fox he had a vomiting bug. Looked F#^+ked in the last 5 mins. Should of had Woods on instead.

Flanno made mention of him in the Press Conference. The Journo said something about how well he played and Flanno shot it down pretty quickly.

Reading between the lines, I am certain Flanno was seriously pissed when he read the banter with Lodge on Instagram.

Performance didn't match the talk even though it was in jest,

 

[Card Shark]

Thought he started the game real well, running straight.

As soon as he started his sideways stepping, the edge went off his play.

I thought he looked fitter last night though.

 

[sharknows]

He was farked from the bug.....no energy

 

[bluefox68]

He did well to not lose it when the refs wrongly penalised Moylan for trying to catch a ball...

 

[millersnose]

I think his bumping and looking for the offload style is a huge plus and has started many promising attacking raids
Would not change it

Fifi reminds me of Nelson from The Simpsons.

 

[Frank Discussion]

I doubt it will surprise anyone to hear that he doesn’t follow instructions too well.

Its actually very difficult to tackle that pinball bump.

Its actually very difficult to tackle that pinball bump.

Maybe. But is it actually effective when we’re on the half way line and he’s going side ways? Half the time he’ll then try and throw a miracle hospital pass offload. Don’t get me wrong, I realise it works at times, but sometimes he needs to put his head down and run hard and do what the team needs at the time.

 

[Eion]

He is one of our best and most consistent players. Not his best game last week, but it seems like there were reasons for that.

The big burrito is the least of our worries.

I love all Fifi's!

And Andrew too.

Fifi reminds me of Nelson from The Simpsons.

Reminds me of the Kung Fu Panda

I heard that today too

Its actually very difficult to tackle that pinball bump.

And Therein lies the problem. His stats for tackle breaks are impressive. Metres rafter contact too, but when the instructions are likely to be, let’s play an uptempo game with hard straight runs, hit the deck get up and play the ball and play on the front foot. That bump and sideways, bump and sideways does more harm then good.

The best teams have evolved into the style that is winning games.

Hard, fast and straight.
Look at Melbourne, roosters and Souths.

This is the blueprint for success this year
Playbit straight and get the defence back peddling and making decisions.

The slow ruck play is one of the reasons chad sucks this season.
He over analyses every play and this robotic style won’t work with the speed of our style.

Over to you Shane. Fix the players at fault or drop them to the bench.

This is what I’m getting at.

It will surprise some.

 

[Pot Odds]

Have a look at the highlights when we played Parra,nearly wrecked them single handed by playing hard and direct.

 

[Inferno]

Perhaps its time to swap him and Woods...
