  He will be on left, so perhaps Galvin. Putting a grubber through for him.

    That's if he wants to chase that grubber kick.

Only way i hope we sign him if the Titans chip in because he good game is to far apart if Titans dont chip in i say no

For the right money yeah.. Needs a big attitude adjustment. Can JR do this? I'd love to see him running off Moses on the edge.. He can be a game changer - and hole runner... A bit like Matto - built like Tarzan runs like Jane..

  He wont be running off Moses unfortunately as he prefers left side and that is where he plays best. So he will run off Galvin or whoever we sign to play 6.

If we could get him under $700k I would take him, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about him.

Moses would help he's game a lot, the problem at the titans atm they don't have the halves, they have two fullbacks playing in the halves, that's a big problem.

use greigs and lanes money to get him

  I think there is somthing to what you are saying about the Titans not having any real halves and that could be severly effecting Fifita's game. I think there is likely an amount of just not putting in as well and that is what concerns me.
  
  For the right price the Eels should at least be considering it, simlar to Dom Young but they certainly shouldn't break the bank for either of them. There should also be KPI's that they need to meet in regards to tackling percentage and run meters.
  
  On his day, he is exactly what the Eels could use. His day doesn't seem to happen very often anymore.

If Ryles is trying to build a new culture based on effort and hard work, can't say that Fifita suits that.

He doesn't even get a look in for Origin now. Reminds me of Pauli Pauli. Had all the physical attributes, but the heart the size of a pea. So no from me.

"The Johns brothers aren't paying the money and the hierarchy at Newcastle obviously think different.Browns trash without Moses I think you need to add the team also is too don't forget that bit as this is a team game after all."

"Injury free it's Brown and Hughes the starting halves for the kiwis and that's not even a question.Browns current form is improving because the moving parts around him are improving.
I mean JR.mentioned this over a month ago in a presser.I've seen…"

"You don't listen, do you. He told the club he wants out, the club comes back with a million $ offer a year over 5yrs to try and change his mind about leaving, he knocked them back. Then you add in what Luau said this week, there is NO chance Galvin…"
