"I'd only grab him if I couldn't get Galvin earlier,that's the key for us from the looks of things Galvin is who the club wants so I don't think Smith is even on the table.Good player plenty of promise but as above I think the clubs already made its…"
"So team list dropped to 19, Mataele and Papali'i in extended squad. I feel a debut coming on the bench for one of those players. "
"Smith would be able to get a run as a starter wherever he goes. I doubt he would come to Parra to be a 14."

Oh so like penisini who goes missing for yearsÂ
"Oh so" Who starts a sentence like that Bob? Are you really my missus? Are you waving your finger at me whilst you're typing? Ya fucking douche!!!
Yes Wills form has plateaued the last couple of years but he was already signed and he showed signs of being a very good centre when he first came into the team Whatever's caused his dip in form It's got fuck all to do with buying a player from the Titans reserves that obviously has motivation issues and has always had them I'm on the Gold Coast My missus is a Titans supporter We go to all their home games I've watched him go round since he's been here and I still don't get what his problem is When he's fired up he's unstoppable yet he spends most of his time out the back with his hands on his hips Ask any Titans fan They're so over him That's my reasoning for my opinion What's yours Bob? Hang on I don't want to know Fuck off Bob Are you Monto?
Mate your a Gold Coast fan not an eels fan.Â
I'm sorry Bob I didn't realise how much my comments triggered you I won't do that again I can get a bit passionate when I've had a few cold ones and talking about my team that I've been following since the early 70s just so you know I probably came across as a bully and that won't happen againÂ
from memory similar comments were made about the recruitment of JAC, thats turned out ok.
To be fair Hugh, a bit different. There was never really an issue with JAC's attitude to playing. He had a few injuries for Canterbury over his 2 years there but it was never a case of he was hot or cold, injuries effected his play. Then off the field issues accumulated to his release.Â
Fifita it is all about will he turn up.
bit of a stretch, but you could argue his output / effort (lack there of) could be around his recent ankle injury. Â
if he was only earning $500k at GC, it wouldnt be an issue. if Parra can get him for around that figure and thrown someone in a similar position, that maybe deemed to be surplus, then id suggest sentiments towards him may change.Â
i reckon theres a bit more to this story with him and Desmond.
It is not a stretch at all. Fifita for years has had concerns about effort and going missing in games. JAC never had that at Melbourne and went off the rails at Canterbury due to being back in Sydney with influences and injuries. JAC never had issues with Ciraldo or other coaches. They got sick of his antics.Â
You are right in the sense that many here didn't want JAC and he has worked out. I am in favour of getting Fifita in but he is Dr. Jeckyll and Mr Hyde most weeks. Can Ryles get a bit out of him? We will have to see but i do agree something has happened to between him and Des.Â
But overall, the situation of fans not wanting JAC and Fifita can be compared not the situaitons of why those players are not wanted by their clubs.
most players would be managing niggling injuries throughout a season, this is Fifi's list of injuries from last 4 seasons,Â
2022:
April – Suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain (partial tear) in his right knee, sidelining him for up to four weeks and ruling him out of State of Origin selection.Â
2023:
December – Sustained a partial pectoral tear during training, requiring surgery and casting doubt on his availability for the start of the 2024 season.Â
2024:
March – Missed the season opener due to ongoing recovery from the pectoral injury.
June – Returned to play after recovering from an ankle injury that had kept him out of the previous week's match.Â
2025:
January – Underwent ankle surgery following an injury sustained in late 2024, casting doubt on his availability for the start of the 2025 season.
February – Made a surprising early return to participate in a pre-season trial match against the Brisbane Broncos.
May – Ruled out indefinitely due to an ongoing ankle issue, with no clear timeline for return
seems like he just gets himself over one injury and incurs another. Ankle seems to be injured a couple of times already, could the Titans have been rushing him back too early?
