Good news. I reckon Super League will suit him.
We seem to have an affinity with Cronulla. We've had quite a few from them.
It will help that he knows a couple of the guys already

Welcome on board David. I reckon the call with be "Fifita Smash"

With this addition and hopefully the return of England we should get some much needed size in the pack. We have been struggling all season in that department despite some valiant efforts.

I'm not expecting anything instant but with a few games under his belt and Moore returning soon we'll be a lot better off hopefully.

Welcome aboard David

Most welcome news. Lets see what he can do

Re: David Fifita : Fri Jun 10, 2016 12:49 pm  

Very welcome news
Just the lift we needed going into the game with Huddersfield and with a bit of a question mark over how he will affect our performance so if it distracts Huddersfield then that works for me

Just been reading the cronulla forum - they didn't want him to go and were giving him high praise until as recently as March this year.

Apparently not getting much game time - which the supporters don't agree with.

A few quotes:

"Pretty disappointed to hear that. I only saw David play a few times but I was pretty impressed with him whenever he played 1st grade. I don't know why he was so far down on the list in the 1st place."

"I want him to be playing first grade for us. Fair enough if he's being left out due to attitude or whatever but on ability he really should be there."

"Yeah, i think he's gone for a 2 year deal, not to sure, hopefully he will come back to the Sharks"

"Bit disappointing this, deserves to be in the top 17"

"Was gutted when he didn't slot in, especially because he needs the game time. Our bench is far too light atm & taga + heigno don't even come close to matching what fifita & gal do out of the blocks"


And my personal favourite - "Don't slam the door on the way out D.Fifita."

Great news about David Fifita signing! Looking forward to watching him play. He will really bolster the Trinity pack.

I have a funny feeling he will take to the pitch tomorrow out of the blue he will turn up in the 17...just a feeling though..

I think hudds will already be distracted. U19s player Ronan Costello air lifted to hospital yesterday and match against Salford abandoned. I think that will be preying on the players minds.
