He gives too many penalties away at crucial stages of the game

Yeah he's a walking penalty/set restart machine with that swinging arm and penchant to slow down the play the ball. He hasn't adapted to the new game, alot because he hasn't had much time to play due to injury and Bomber not playing him.

I think I'd still play him a couple more games, see if he settles into the new game.

Yeah I can agree with you about him needing more gametime but maybe more gametime down with jets. Feel like we have to play our best cards and I don’t think he’s one of them at the moment, would had prefer Teig Wilton come in.

He was getting game time until he was suspended and then injured

Saying he’s not adapted to the new rules is a bit of a cop out too, they’ve been in place for a few weeks, he’s well aware of them
Should be far more prepared than anyone was the first week

He got exponentially better because it was game time though apparently

And didn’t you notice how motivated we were while he was on?

I was talking about match fitness through regular game time you nong. It's not like he'll be fitter 10 minutes after he first entered the field of play.

His injuries have cruelled him.

Peak Andrew Fifita is the perfect forward for these new rules.

Time the big fella looked for a happy ending as the game has certainly moved on from his pace.

4 years @ 300k as some sort of club ambassador or youth engagement social worker, something to entice him to hang em up

Did some good carries / lead up work just before the Brailey pass to Rufolf try

can still be a useful player for us with low minutes provided you temper your expectations
not much footy fitness in him either with NSW Cup ect suspended

he started to look better last year with some week to week FG games under his belt . he was still picked ahead of younger fitter forwards in our squad so the coach still sees something
