This guy needs to pull his head in. He's asking someone to punching him in the head when he repeatedly pats Bird on the head. There's gamesmanship and aggression but you've got to keep it in check.

The niggle doesnt bother me but he is the sort of dope that would niggle to get a reaction then be the one who throws a punch

Fifita already proved that in Origin. Now it was Bird running in needlessly tonight. I know you stick up for your mate but nothing was really happening.

In your head, rent free
fifita just needs to be smarter

example: after they drop the ball, pat them on the head... after you score a try, dont pat them on the head

I'd prefer him to do the post try lawn mower routine, that's always funny to watch rather than all these half gangster shout outs most do.

I couldn't see what they claimed Fifita did after that try?
Just watching the replay now. Fifita did absolutely nothing. Gave Douglas(?) a push getting up but Douglas was still holding on to him. It was absolutely nothing. During the call Blocker said "Fifita has gone after one of the Titans players here". Nup. He just walked off.

I know Egg likes the other forum and reports stuff from there constantly but some wag on there is declaring Fifita left the ground last night on crutches and has a broken foot. Only one poster has come out and said he's fine but no one else has squashed the talk. Anyone on here know?

Apparently he's fine. Dude I follow on twitter spoke to him at the airport.

That's it for me - I'm off the Fifita bandwagon....he does my head in with the stupid and ill-disciplined things he does.

Others teams know they can just bait him and he rises to it everytime. Either he has the IQ of a telegraph pole or his head space isn't right because he either takes his anger out on opposition players after they have scored or he does something idiotic like fail to play the ball properly or lose it altogether.

I can see him losing the game for us in a final by acting like a hothead.

Like the ref said to Ennis: "I'm not targeting him Michael - he brings it on himself!"

At the moment he is a loose cannon and a liability and if Flanno was worth his salt he would tear strips off him after that game.

His play the balls have been heaps better this year and far less milking lately. When he cuts sick it's after a play is already dead. Dumb ****s like Lewis are the ones costing us penalties every game and pushing the boundries n general play

Fifita has been a massive improvement . I like that the fire is still in his belly though

He didn't really do anything wrong when they scored and had the ball stripped towards the end of the game. He's got his cards marked by the ****wit referees even if he isn't in the wrong. And that is poor form from them.

Refs seemed to be calling more on side of loose carry/drop ball as opposed to strips lately. I think that's a good thing but on letter of the law fifita got hard done by

I wouldn't be knocking him too much ( still world class ) and only one of two real Props we have .
Thanks Flanno for letting his brother go without replacing .
DUMB !

I really don't know if his brother would be the one that would actually make much of a difference tbh but a few of us on here have said for the best part of 2 seasons we're a decent prop short in the squad and it shows at the back end of the season particularly when we start getting rolled through way too easily

Man, pull your head in if you are looking for a scapecgoat on why we lost tonight, Fifs might have played a very minor role but start looking @ 10 plus reasons why we lost.
