Official Andrew Fifita

[baanya]

Fifita looked good in the warm up and went through the same drills as the rest of the team... either he was never going to play and the coaching staff used it as a semi fitness test post his operation or he did something during the warm up which forced him to pull out - which is more worrying!

he looed good to play during warm up... and he is a unit of a man in person...

 

[sharks2010]

There was no point risking him
Like a few others on here I was sceptical about how much involvement he would have and whether he was willing to roll the sleeves up and run hard and straight. He has suprised me. Loving his involvement off the bench

 

[Gumby]

Looking forward to seeing him against the roosters. Feel we've lacked that punch off the bench for past couple weeks

 

[josh11223344]

Yep, he was a bigger loss than it seemed last week imo. He would of dominated that game.

 

[sharks2010]

This kid has seriously thrown egg in my face
He had a cracker of a game today and I'm glad he has proven me wrong
I thought his first couple of months were slow and he brought the crab like run from the tigers with him but something happened and he just got angry and ran straight. Shows great enthusiasm and looks like he is really enjoying his footy in the shire
Adds great impact and it's good to see someone come of the bench and keep the roll on considering what we had coming of the bench the past few years
Well done crabby

I think he has been playing pretty straight all season. Only really crabs when we are in the opposition 20.

Definately straightened up from last year.

 

[DeathMoth]

so dangerous on the burst.

 

[samshark]

Excellent game today and has been pretty consistent all year. Needs to stop giving silly penalties away in the tackle though .

 

[sharks2010]

His second try was awesome
Need more of that from all our forwards

 

[Gumby]

Played well today i thought

 

[Mungusjack]

I hope Fifita stays a shark for a long time. He is becoming a icon player like kasiano and rose.

Is the term "icon player" another way of saying he keeps the bistro staff at the leagues in a job?

 

[A.Snowden]

Yep agreed. Came with a lot of hype that I didn't buy into. But proving me wrong. Has definatly straightened up. Could have been the words of wisdom and the run straight and hard talk I gave him at the normamby haha

Getting off the ground quick is not his problem. His play the balls are fine. It's laying on the tackled player too long and getting pinged for it. Happened a few times this year.

Everyone do the crab!... It's gonna catch on.

 

[sharks2010]

A.s already gave him the crabwise

I wouldn't like to be paying the bills to feed him that's for sure. But he is one big recognisable unit.
