He would be an ideal replacement second rower with utility value. A reliable performer for the Sharks since 2016. High workrate and does not come with any garbage.

We have Nuikore ready to go for Mau
Agree Poppa
I just hope our prudent approach to recruitment continues and that we don't pay overs.
I want to see recruitment balanced with junior development
Newcastle were in the box seat for him - before nathan brown got sacked.
I think David Fafita is the missing ingredient for a Premiership winning pack and I desperately want him. I wouldn't want to spend money on a mid-level second-rower to miss out on an elite second-rower. So yeh it depends on the money. Niokore is pretty close to a starting second rower. I don't know if I agree with Pops that you need four first-grade quality second rowers - I'd rather three very good ones, and then look to use a young bloke like Fainga if you get an injury crisis.
What we need to look at, is that Parramatta with our junior nursery should just be rolling second-rowers off a conveyor belt. You don't necessarily need to find giants - just powerful, good-sized bodies who can hit a hole. Centre, wing and second rowers we should be investing in marquee and relying on youth to back-up.
Totally agree, he was the player i chose a few years back as the type of Alpha we need to lift the club.
Edit, my mistake, i was thinking of Andrew not David, but David would be good too.
Id love Andrew fafita here.
Nah..don't forget we've implemented a "no dickheads" policy at Parra ever since Norman and Edwards were shown the door.
Andrew Fifita is a massive one. Having a player on our roster that's venerates a cowardly cold blooded murderer and then threatens teenage refs in junior games? No thanks.
1EyedEeel,
David Fifita won't be available until 2021 We need immediate replacements Manu Ma'u , Tim Mannah and possible replacements for David Gower, Peni Terepo .
I don't like R.C.G. as he will be expensive and does not have a high work rate. We should be careful not to sign players thar are being offloaded by other clubs for non financial reasons. He is also a bench player
Apparently Warriors are going to make a big play for David Fifita. As much as I agree with you, I’m not sure it’s smart to get ourselves into a bidding war with this guy if the Warriors are willing to pay a mil.
