Rushing him back via the bench though. Johns and Lockyer brought up his form is not up to scratch for a little bit. Could it have been Holbrook being sacked that hindered him? He like Holbrook, nearly going to Roosters where he is assistant.
He played 82 games in 4 years not enough to the point where he was recovering from long term injuries. Niggles? Sure but many players get niggles every year, hell it seems Junior Paulo has been playing hurt for years yet people here want him gone
Â
He still managed 80 mins in Q cup over the weekend. He is being called out by experts as well. He's not happy and that's fine but JAC was seen more poison due to off the field mainly.
Plus his one good game this year he was on the left. Rest have been not great. Think there could be some validity to the claims of wanting left side, more to it than just that though.
Oh yeah Tim, Johns and Lockyer know stuff all. Particularly Johns who came back from a broken jaw and string of other injuries that nearly led him to retire before the 2005 season with limited prep delivered one for he greatest individual performances the game has seen as the highest level. He's would know about injuries and coming back from them and how they affect your game. Fifita has missed time through injury but nothing significant. Not saying the injuries are not but not enough for him to miss a lot of game time. He's averaged 20 games a year for last 4 years.
Both Johns and Lockyer merely a day ago have said his form is not good enough he should be performing better. I agree. I also believe as everyone else there is more to do the story the bloke is not happy about something.
I would trust JR to know if he thinks Fifita is suitable to the culture and team he is building. JR won't want to jeapordise what he is creating as all of his new signings / pathway players he brings through have all had great attitude during games. If JR believe he is the right fit then I would love to have Fifita on a max 750k.
I've been thinking past two days about our backrowers, and can really see by end of season Samrani and Latu being mainstays. But that is too much pressure on them.
With Fifita, for less money than he is on, is well worth a punt. If he revs up, man.Â

Tallis himself, worked a bit with GC said he needs to work harder, so something there with Fifita and someone needs to get best out of him somehow.
Rubbish JAC is worth every cent we paid Anyone who said that's a fool
100% correct & many others. It just shows some here know fa.Â

Emi apologize for being rude in last post Tim. Upon reflection could have written better.
No way and I've been drinkingÂ

A preseason with ryles might do him wonders.
We need some aggression and attack in our backrowers so can't hurt to give him a 2 year deal..
