Kikau could have gone the same way, but it was the best thing for him when he went from the Cowboys to the Panthers and they slowly got rid of all his bad habits and lazy loafing on the edges and turned him into an explosive and efforts player and the best edge in the game.
Maybe that's what they were hoping they could do with Fifita, but thank fu*king Christ for us and all the rest of the comp we will now never find out if they would have succeeded or not.
Players have it in them or they dont you can tell early on in there careers.
I think Fifita will struggle in Sydney personally not many high profile signings already established in the game come to Sydney that are from Brisbane do well.
A bit different if you sign up with a club in Sydney and your from Brisbane as a junior and your young and just want to impress and build a career.
In Brisbane/GC you can coast through with the local media up in Brisbane & GC not being as vitriolic to players as they are in Sydney.
Broncos have the media under there thumbs with the protection racket and then GC probably dont give a stuff.
So the blowtorch will be applied in Sydney the moment fifita isnt delivering and i dont think he will be able to handle it.
