BREAKING: Bombshell backflip as Fifita pulls out of $3m Roosters deal

Good on Fifita for backflipping. He is just a big boy and I just think would not fit into the Roosters, especially away from family. Plus Des is a good manager of players earlier in their careers, especially mentally. I am sure that was a factor.

The more I watch him though he more and more he reminds of the Coal Train!

Personally disagree, Fifita a significantly better player
 
So the rorters are crying fowl on Fifi backing out. Well fuk them. The masters at scumbag under handed deals got it thrown in their face. Politis can go suck on a rancid egg. I hope Crighton and Sitili stitch them up and demand huge deals or better still go elsewhere. Choke on your own sh*t you fuking scumbags.

Some real anger issues right there!

Gus Gould said the Chooks probably dodged a bullet, and went onto say that some players are meant to be in certain teams and some are not. Tend to agree with Gus, the expectation from the Easts fans for Fifi to play his best footy every game would be huge. Unlike the more sedate sandy beach's tourist GC strip laid back lifestyle that Fifi has been accustomed too.

Sorry, my point was to the comparison with Dave Taylor.

I think it is a lazy comparison. In my view Fifita is a significantly better player.

I think Fifita suffers a poor fan perception from getting that monster contract, suddenly he was expected to win games on his own and whilst he played well he could never posdibly live up to the price.

I feel that period of him being overrated has now led to him being underrated to an extent and the truth lies in the middle.

Fifita is a fantastic edge, top 5 in the league in my view and a world away from flash in the pan Dave Taylor

yeah sorry Disco, my reply was meant for NYEagle. You've make some good points tho.
 
Not sure that's exactly how it went down mate, sorry. Choc deserves more than that.
Happy to be enlightened mate. That’s not a crack as I know you were a bit closer to events than most on here. The comments against the club at the time are documented though, and there was talk he actively agitated for Gutho to leave as well, but happy to be corrected.

I'll respond to this mate when I'm less disappointed with the team tonight, so I can give you a balanced / fair response to your question. Choc was always team and Manly first, I promise you that.
