Yeh lets see off a prop who has a huge motor, one of the best in the game, when the going gets tough.

Get the **** outta here.

Fifita is very valuable to us

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Can't believe how willing people are to see him off.

Besides some stupid errors and penalties he's still one of the best props in the league. I don't think we can afford to lose him either

No i agree. We're building a quality side and his go forward and small spurts of attack are paramount to our sucesses. However we dont have a place for someone to earn 650odd thousand a year who thinks he can play how he wants or do what he wants.

I don't see how he is playing how he wants or does what he wants?

These are simply rumours. I'd rather have a prop earning 650k who makes 200m a game than a prop on 200k only making 100m and plays half the time fifita can play

This is exactly why i didn't want to name names.

Yeah but if he is taking offence to criticism by staff that may actually be warranted then whats the problem?
I reckon its nothing more than a rumour but if the club has a problem with him, could be attitude to training or something then its nothing that cant be sorted. Not to mention its not the clubs fault if they are expecting some discipline from someone who is meant to be a leader in this team

 

[samshark]

That the people who pay his ridiculous salary want productivity? How dare they

..

 

[samshark]

Well now that Samshark has said it i guess i can say yeah it is Andrew.

Apparently it's not just coaching staff but the board as well and this is where he is getting pissed off.

why not just say it to start with instead of playing the guessing game.
It is after all the 'rumour' thread, something we've heard.
Could be right could be wrong, could be exagerated. WTF knows. Thats just what Ive been told.

Well that's just ****ed if true.

Well said, if he stops the stupid errors he's top 2-3 props in the game with the added bonus of pulling a freakish try out of nowhere. I'd be gutted if we were to lose him.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Is this 3 years in a row there have been fifs struggling not happy rumours?
He obviously a hard one to manage... Get someone go point out Dave Taylor to him... This is were your heading... Adjust the attitude buy in on what is going on within the team.., love fifs don't want him gojng anywhere.

Agreed.

 

[Gumby]

Seeming we're light on props I would offer shillington a 1 year deal. He's not the future but can fill a gap for next season.

nup, cant agree. there are some boppers in the nsw cup that would easily make our prop depth better.

raid the kiwis, and get a couple of 20's props

Apparently Trent Hodkinson has signed with the Knights! Apparently reported on 2UE and NRL 360.

A mate of mine who knows a trainer there told me they were close to signing a high end halfback just last week. He hadnt been told a name either. Highly rated yes, but what Knights need? No way

 

[ABshark]

Good for him and good for them. They need someone to do the thinking and the rest can play around him. Roberts looks more a 9 than a 7 anyway.

Good on em for keeping it quiet too given all the hyperventilation around him at the moment.

Remember mullen too.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Mullen/Hodgkinson would actually be a top notch combo. Watch out for the Knights next season if this is on the money.
