Still took the most hit ups and made the most meters out of any of our forwards
His commitment is there, I think he is trying to hard

Everyone was kissing his ass after a good game last week.
We lost. We are going to lose again. And again.
Teams have coaches sacked for this sorta start. Our coach is a fill in anyway.
If anyone thought we'd have a different season was kidding themselves.
Fifita is better than any prop we could get otherwise.
People complain we lost baluya, and have heighno, we'd all be crying if we lost fifita and signed some other bum.
The money is high though.
Id rather sign him for 700k and be happy than have the club announce a retard like ayshford signing and making him out as a star signing

When our premier forward should be dominating, he is making 5 mistakes in the first 18 minutes. Just like last week. He is not playing like an representive forward or one that is worth 700K a season.
At present give me James Graham or Aaron Woods.

Has anyone else noticed how dirty Fifita is in the play the ball. It seems to have crept into his game more and more but every time he plays the ball he flops and carries on trying to earn a penalty. Just play the ****ing ball. He has gone that far away from his strengths that he isn't half the player he was this year. Which poses an even greater problem from us as a club. At the moment the market for Fifita has dried up significantly. A lot of this would have to do with his form. We should low ball him...but we won't. He will get his 700k and we will be left holding our dicks again for the next four years.
Going into next year we are going to have the majority of our cap tied up into our aging pack and a five eighth who can't tackle and has to do it all himself.

And you think he would have learned by now, but obviously acting like a hard **** is more important than playing the ball.

If fifita wants to win a penalty in the play the ball he should just stand there refusing to play the ball staring at the ref, seems to work for jarryd hayne and darius boyd...
Yep, but it is even more pronounced this year. He is getting worse make no mistake. He has brought into all the hype about how good he is when in fact he had one break out year. He can do things no other prop can do but he is far from perfect. He can be dominated in the tackle, his play the balls have gone backwards and he is making too many mistakes trying to offload.
On form he isn't in the top 5 props in the comp at the moment and we are about to pay him play maker money. Ridiculous.

I don't mind his flamboyancy (except for the ****ing around in the ruck), but when things aren't going right for us he should just revert back to hitting it up hard and getting a quick play the ball. Particularly when we are understrength. He can get away with doing more crazy stuff when Gallen etc are doing the hard yards. At the moment it's up to him to lay a platform as our lead forward.

Yeah definitely.
Fifitas attitude is the only thing holding him back.
Id actually like to see david in the side next week. See how it fires each other up.

nah, you're probably like the rest of the people on here and don't read my dribble lol
He is by a country mile the best prop in the world. The problem is he's read this in the press & he doesn't have a decent coach to bluntly explain to him he aint superman & he actually has to do shit occasionally to earn that title.
I really have to disagree mate. Because of the freakish things he did last year we tend to over look the glaring weaknesses in his game. He is a great player, don't get me wrong, but he is far from a perfect 700k player.

I would not any prop other than Fifita but he has so much crap going on inside his big melon.
His mind is not on the job and he is getting easily frustrated. I think bringing his brother into the side could be a blessing in disguise.
