i am looking forward to seeing this guy play tomoz, i was really pissed when we lost both douglas and snowden. But i actually think with fifita,gibbs,ross,green,etc. we have a much better prop rotation and depth in the front row than last year.

My very word, I know Newcastle supporters are very unhappy with Snowden, not so much his ability or strength, but his effort. Which i thought was lacking last year also.

I think going form having Snowden-Douglas-Cordoba-and whoever else got picked that week to having a rotation where taking 2 props off the field and replacing them with our bench guys isnt going to drastically hurt the squad is what is needed

RLW is reporting that Andrew Fifita's attitude at training is angering his teammates, if this is true then this could be a problem, he has got history of this sort of thing. I hope its bull******, but still.....

I've heard this before (from a coach within the tigers) this one of the reasons tigers dropped him last season, an didnt want to listen to the trainers when they try an give him advice

Not sure if this has been mentioned in any other fifita threads but how good was his response when interveiwed after the game.

love the little dig at the tigers and love how he mentioned how the sharks have become brothers.

Could well be becoming my fav player.

It's only round 6, Fifita is getting fitter each week he is a big man so it will take time for him to reach peek fitness, however i like what i'am seeing from him :)

Is there somewhere I can watch/listen to his interview?

In nutshell it was a 20 second interview and Fifita said something along the lines of this

' We have a real bond here, were all mates. Much stronger bond than what we had at the Tigers. Here we don't have any little groups or seperate dressing rooms, we just have a real strong bond together and we all get along really well. We brothers here.'
