David Fifita

We don't have a top 30 spot for him. Tell me, who would we get rid of, that another club would actually take, that would get us anywhere near the $600k or so needed for him? Garrick is probably the only one. No way in hell is Fifita worth more to us than Garrick.

I'm talking 26.

We have a bunch of players off contract.

Seems only Leniu fits in with the Roosters ethics Lolol. Smith, May, Young, Fifita must not be grub enough.

I think Robbos just too scared to ring Leniu to tell him he doesn’t fit the Roosters ethics. I mean he waited till May was playing for Samoa in England to ring and tell him.

Mate sorry but it’s Fifita then daylight between he & Brbo. Solid player but not in the same realm as Fifita. He wants to play left side which is where we are missing strike! FMD Fifita & Olakau’atu would be a dream. Brbo to Lock….

Burbo to lock. Hmmm might be onto something

Hmm yeah, or, now hear me out... Burbo into the sun?

Doesn't have the ball skills to be a lock. These days locks almost have the skillset of a half. Bambie can’t even stay on his feet let alone control the attack.

Being a bit harsh on yourself there big fella

It was my first thought then I remembered we have Jazz playing lock.

@Jimmie talking BS.. you called it nonsensical im calling it what it is BS..haha

no bull**** here mate....just because you cannot comprehend what occurred doesnt make it bull****

 

[Jimmie]

that sounds odd. They’re allowed to withdraw the offer, they don’t need to add some KPIs after a few meetings and cross their fingers that he walks away.

they never added KPI s...

 

[LeonardCohen]

they never added KPI s...

I didn't say they did...I thought you said they did?!

roosters made sure he backflipped with the KPI s they put in place and were happy with the result.

Isn't this you saying they 'put in place' KPIs?

 

[Jimmie]

Please explain @Jimmie why the Roosters would utilise such a convoluted process? It seems almost nonsensical to me? The Roosters goal was to make it look like Fifita backflipped? When it was actually the other way round? Why didnt they just withdraw the contract, as it was within the cooling off period for both parties? I think your "source" is talking **** again.

is this David Fifita?

my point was the KPI s were in place from the outset they were not added at later point in time...

Looks like a few on here can't comprehend what your saying.. I'm pretty sure what I wrote is what occurred..
Fafita signed and then backflipped
Roosters were caught off guard and pissed off.

The Roosters are nothing special, they can FU sometimes too.

Unless your Uncle Nick or one of his family members you may think differently.
I've noticed so many of your posts are so Pro Roosters... so that may answer a few questions.

If Titans are paying some of the freight I’d take him on a prove it contract. He’s better than any options we have currently. If we got him firing imagine our options with him on the left edge and Olakau’atu on the right.

At the end of the day, names like fifita, haas, tino, galvin,whyte can be thrown around all we like. But the reality is none of them will come to manly. I mean we couldn't even get a lesser name in Faitala Mariner here.. he chose the queens over us ffs. Honestly, it's sad.

Fifita happily joined the titans who are quite possibly the worst team in the NRL over the last decade lol. Manly have never been a club that buys big name players

The major determing factors in signing players is cap space and contract length.

Fifita and Tino signed with the Titans
Luai, May, Turuva with the Tigers
Crichton, Burton and half the comp with the Bulldogs
Holmes, Cook, Gutho with the Dragons

Weve simply tied up most of our money in extending players in our system rather than going to market.

Believe what you want that’s your perogative and if you believe you are right give yourself a lolipop . im certainly not pro roosters and I’m still recovering from 2013. Do I wish the sea eagles had an uncle nick and ran their club like the roosters …YES. Roosters weren’t pissed off they felt they dodged a bullet and were happy with the result.Given what Des has just done they were right.

Manly use to be known to sign big name players. From all blacks, to wallabies, to players like gene miles for eg. Almost had zinzan Brooke, wally lewis.
