Thats because super coach is playing him as a prop down the middle rather than the wider running forward we have previously seen. As such, not as effective.
As for Fafita, he is carrying too much weight. Take 4kgs's off him.

My major problem with him is he's often completely flat footed when he gets the ball.
My guess is Flano likes Taga's footspeed hitting holes in behind the ruck Anthony Laffranchi style. Think his breaks v the Titans, Rabbits running off Morris and some quick play the balls last year.
If so, its not a bad tactic, its just not working atm through lack of timing.
Personally I'd give him 10-20 minutes each side and play Gal through the ruck a bit more.

Fair call but the only thing he has been hitting this year is the defence. Hard. There is no point playing him if he is going to stay in the middle. We are better off going for variety in Friz or Peach. Oh, wait a minute, Friz won't be here next year.

I don't think that's all he's eating.
Haha. If it is it aint the low sugar/carbo diet metres.

Having a player like him is going to be useful if our form starts to wain and we need some comic relief of the Cuthbo variety when all the knives come out.
But seriously I would really like to see him improve his fitness and general game. He has not shown even a glimpse of the ability from those old highlight reals. All my tigers mate say he had a bad attitude at training but not sure if that's still the case for him at the Sharks, especially considering how much he professed to loving it here.

**** me, he is a current player who loves being at the sharks and i'm sure is putting in 100% that's the size he plays at, it was the same at the tigers and if he isn't the weight we want him at he wouldn't be playing so leave him alone!

He is at the weight our strength and conditioning coach wants him at.

..his best is still ahead of him this season... i think the battle with him is in the head...regardless of his weight when he is right mentally he will be dominate off the bench... there are alot of big young forwards coming through atm and Fifita should be at the front of that line!

You showed your love for him last year by saying he was at the same level as the top props running around. Just from watching a highlight reel. Hell jordan Atkins has a pretty good highlight reel too, and hows he going haha
