So happy for Fifita. Fantastic season after a few lean years. And another quality performance today err... yesterday. Ran hard, defended well.
Love his enthusiasm too.

I think he's completely converted me... I'd give him another year in the same role with a suitable salary.

Give him a payrise

Fifita’s PointsBet farewell on Saturday night​

The man who will be long remembered for helping deliver the Cronulla Club their first NRL premiership trophy, Andrew Fifita has announced that Saturday night will be his last Sharks game at PointsBet Stadium.

A career which has so far included 246 NRL matches, international appearances for Australia and Tonga, 10 games for the NSW Origin team and six as a member of the Indigenous All Stars, Fifita’s last home game at PointsBet will be an occasion to be celebrated.

The Sharks play the Bulldogs on Saturday, kicking off at 5.30pm, with all tickets having been sold.

Fifita’s Sharks career began in 2012 when he made his debut in round one at Leichhardt Oval against his former club the Wests Tigers.

In the 10 years to follow, Fifita has racked up 207 Sharks NRL games, included amongst those the golden moment in 2016 when he scored the match winning try in his team’s Grand Final triumph over the Melbourne Storm.

Members and fans who have a ticket to Saturday’s sold-out game against the Bulldogs are encouraged to stay around following the fulltime siren to farewell Fifita as he does a final lap of PointsBet Stadium.

Fifita was due to speak the media today in announcing his last Sharks home game, with his press conference to be shared on the Sharks website later this afternoon.

Sounds like he is not necessarily retiring from NRL?

Christian Nicolussi reporting he's open to a return to the West Tigers if they are genuinely interested.

Bit of a shame, hoped he would just retire, but probably a case like Paul Vautin, where they will never be thought of as any other club regardless.

Does that mean we did not offer him anything at all? Or we did but he knocked it back?
