How is the dogs getting rid of Fifita for not wanting to be there any different to the Sharks dropping Lichaa for also not wanting to be there? Where are those headlines today?

I know someone who works in accounts at Fox, and she's said a number of times after my fits of rage that Kent is a nice bloke. I can't reconcile with how a nice bloke could be such a blind, agenda-driven ****. Not only does he suffer from little-man syndrome, he's a frustrated ex-player that never amounted to anything.

That seems to be the claim in every paper (Fifita being cut for mouthing off). Are the Dogs really that precious, or do they suddenly think they paid massive overs and a fullback is what they need?

Fifita mouthed off in an emotion hissy fit, it was nothing in the scheme of things. He has been stitched up by the Dogs.

I think if he goes to Union he will only play for an Australian club he is obviously very family oriented so all these journos saying he will go to Japanese rugby are kidding themselves

I just remember us being ridiculed for dropping Lichaa when he chose to go elsewhere. But now with the dogs getting rid of Fifita everybody is congratulating the dogs for not going through with because it was too much money. Both Lichaa and Fifita have been let go but on 1 hand the club (us) were ridiculed and on the other hand the player (Fifita) was ridiculed, so why are the dogs being congratulated instead of being told to harden up and let the man play?

Read what doggies CEO said the deal was never finalised Fifita "jumped the gun" by announcing it earlier without the finer details of the contract being finalised ( 3rd party deals IMO) his management didn't come to an agreement on these finer details

Yeah I read it and I heard Raelene talk on 2 radio stations about it yesterday. The dogs will never come out say it was because what he said about union but when asked if the decision to terminate the contract had anything to do with his comments, Raelene said no but we do of course want players to want to play for us if we are going to sign them(or something of the like). I think if you read between the lines it's a given his comments were the reason for the 3rd party fall out.

Does anyone really care why the deal fell through? He is a free agent again now that's all that really matters. Do feel sorry for Andrew though, no way he will even get close to that money.

I think $650k is around the mark he should be commanding, would be happy to pay him that and maybe a little more.

His comment RE rugby were taken WAY out of context, he has been misrepresented by every article I have seen written about the rugby statement. The media is a joke and bunch of vultures that dont care what or who they destroy to get their "headlines".... I feel sorry for the guy. I really hope he stays a sharks. $650k on a 4 year deal would be a fair and reasonable deal.
