Theres literally been people saying ‘this **** needs to **** off’ plenty of times
I wouldn’t call it passionate posting, more like juvenile and idiotic…Got to agree with BWB on this .
There were a LOT of crap comments , mainly in game day threads , when posters get pretty passionate in that moment .
No need to go back and single out anyone , but it was VERY hard and disappointing to read some of those posts at times ,often quite cringeworthy.
He deserves so much more , has taken pay cuts to keep a strong squad on the field in the past .
We owe him , not the other way around .
A club LEGEND .

Andrew Fifita could have died if not for the quick intervention of paramedics who rushed him to a Brisbane hospital as his airway started closing.
Extraordinary details of the Sharks forward’s ordeal after suffering a fractured larynx have emerged, including Fifita’s fear for his life as his screams reverberated around Redcliffe’s Moreton Daily Stadium on Sunday night.
According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Fifita was kept alive by the assistance of quick-thinking medical officers, who realised his airway was shutting rapidly and he was struggling to breathe, whisking him to Royal Brisbane Hospital for emergency treatment.

Really scary stuff.
I hope when the time comes .
He gets someone to help him write a book on his life story and career .
Call out a few journos on THEIR take of various circomstances he had to then deal with .
Get Well BIG Fella and write it.
It would be compelling reading
this is truly horrible news
his body has failed him for the last 3 years, but this is not the way he should have gone out
heart breaking stuff
i agree with egg, a fifita book would be interesting for more reasons than just the funny stuff
i would be more than interested in reading a few chapters on why he decided to leave us for the dogs, what happened with the botched deal, why he came back to us instead of going to rugby, playing a first grade game with his brother and of course, october 2nd 2016
Get well soon
Want to see you and your now raspy ass voice around the club for a long time to come…
