He's been a polarizing figure for most of his career, is no longer the player he was, but there is no denying Andrew Fifita has had one hell of a career. Aside from the match-winning try in the GF he's had provided us Sharkies fans with many memorable moments over the years and I can't think of a more appropriate occasion for him to notch up his 200th game than in Indigenous Round.

Kick ass tonight big fella, and thank you for your contribution to the mighties over the past decade.

Love ya, Feef!

Legend.

Thought he woulda been well over 200 games given how long he's been around.

Edit: Just realised you meant 200 for us.

He is the reason we have a Premiership in 2016. I have no doubt about that.

Yes we had so many contributors that year that made the difference for us to get to the GF. But if he doesn’t take on 5 defenders including Cameron Smiff and twist and contort his body to get that ball down under the posts we don’t hold that trophy that night.

Good Luck tonight Big Fella! 🏆

I'll always love him as a player, had some incredible seasons and rewatching him in prime is NUTS.. so fast and agile and huuuge, pulling 60-80 minute stints and completely unstoppable at all levels. That origin 1 (was it 2016 too?) where he pretty much carried the entire team to the win was something I'll never forget. Legend of a player who got felled by injuries and had to learn some hard lessons through his career but we were so lucky to pick him up off the back of Wests Tigers idiocy and have him as a club great. I know he's had an average few seasons lately, but in his best years was one of the best props in the NRL era I reckon
