News Signed 2 years. Suluka Fifita

[albatross]

Any young player with a healing ACL would surely want to give back big time to a club that gave him a go! Hope he's got the fitness and ability to back it, but motivation shouldn't be a problem.

Just having a laugh with ya old man. I was only pointing out that there is a thread on this already. But given you have explained yourself, I apologise and i guess with your old age and poor eye sight, you couldn't see the other thread. Good thanks [emoji4]

And personally i dont give a rats arse wether i post or not just thought others might enjoy seeing a signing all you have to do is look at how much i post before you start flapping your gums bub!

Judging by the weekend game they aren't doing so well at replacing them.


Always a Bulldog

Not getting the best results in lower grades either

Reading into his stats not sure if it’s right but he averaged 90 metres in his last 8 games last year in 22.5mins on average per game . He also did not make an error in those games ? Can someone confirm 24
Is young for a prop but has been injury riddled .

Let’s just say though Terrell may deserves all the accolades , going to be some prop .

The celery cap. We're looking at slimming him down.

Lettuce leave that for the trainers

Now that we are a couple of years post covid, Young props will start coming through again. I doubt we see another prop go for more than a million for a while . . . Suck shit to the clubs that paid that much

I dare say a lot of fringe NRL players are going to get chances too. I have a feeling that as the market starts showing signs of recovery, a new team will be introduced repeating the whole issue. Hopefully we'll be among the club's with a solid production line to get us through it by then. If the only clubs not massively overpaying for players through it are managing by bringing through juniors, hopefully it'll show other clubs the value of supporting regional football.

I'm not saying that that is Gussy's plan . . . But that's the plan.He started buying quality young players and they are starting to filter through the system. He has the Bulldogs tentacles everywhere . . .North Coast, Queensland, New Zealand, Fiji . . . I hear we have this Eskimo kid on a train and trial deal

And word in some article is we've signed an American YouTuber who gives any sport a shot. Warburton flew there specifically for that.

If Ciraldo names Perham the kennel will cauliflower a new coach.

This is fanciful. Signing an injured, unproven front rower with a handful of first grade games on his resume does absolutely nothing to help our already slim chances of making the 8

The thing is there has been bugger all top props out there on the market for the last couple of seasons and there is not much coming through for next season. We have to develop our own props. Sam Hughes is one but there are no definite others coming through our system at the moment.

I think if Fafita was fit and ready to go we may have signed him earlier. We were after May and he has onlt played a handful of games. I see Fafita as similar if he was fit.

Its not so much that Fifita has only played minimal NRL for this season but for future development as well.

But even for this season its more the fact that his addition will be a positive in that we need size and agression to attack the line. When Pele came on last year though he was inexperienced you could see the difference in how he bent the line and gave us momentum. So long as Fifita gets match fit his size and agression alone will give us more momentum and and a better power game.

But thats not taking away from any ability he may have with ball skills or his running game or hard hitting defence. The thing is he will be playing in a system and if he doesn't fit in or tow the line then he won't make NRL. But I am sure he will.

Apparently that Eskimo kids icing it and will eventually seal a top 30 spot .. [emoji106]

I think its his name. All players with a last name Fifita are good players so theres no worry.

 

[TwinTurbo]

I just worked out what Gus is up to...
He is buying all the injured props then use 'em as spare parts to make one prop...Genius

Can't go wrong when you add the Payne Haas beard too

We did pay Thompson about 2 million for less than 1 years worth of games didn't we

So,comparatively, based on the fact Tetavano would be on next to nothing he is already a bargain?
