Other Games [Round 23, 2021]

Fafita is not worth the 1.2 he is getting ,doesn't look to get involved at all

He loves scoring trys from 10mts out

 

[nightster]

That was so lazy from David Fafita

He and Tuamololo are paid way too much - I wouldn’t swap either of our young backrowers for either of them

 

[bob dylan]

Melbourne +500 for and against.

Could hit +1000 next week when they play the Eels.

 

[Uk eagle]

You want your edge forwards to be able to work hard for 80 mins and have the occasional decent pass/run in them. Fifita is only interested in adding to his highlight reel

 

[Ranga]

More garbage from Fafita...biggest waste of money

Your tip was looking good. I've been waiting (and thinking) that the Storm will hit a speed bump too, but alas...

At least JT has won a Dally M. There is something odd about his performance this year, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

Also, it has to be remembered his contract was negotiated under the 'old rules'. Just like Jake's, but I guess that is the risk you take when you sign guys to such long contracts.

Ash Taylor's on about the same coin as DCE, I know who I'd rather have playing for us

And Ash is playing better than he has in a long time!

Haha, that's what they're saying, tits may offer him a new deal, reduced by 70%

 

[Ranga]

I kind of feel sorry for him. He seems like a good guy and was saddled with a massive contract too early. He'd be best to go to a really strong club on less money so that the pressure is taken off him. He has plenty of time to earn the big dollars later in his career if he gets the next move right.

no caparison , if Taylor gets 1M DCE is a pinch at 1.2 or what ever he gets

You can't blame him for the money he's on, and he's never had a senior player in the halfs to assist his game develop

 

[Eagle 1]

What does David Fifita actually do?

He must be the laziest backrower in the NRL.

Was thinking the same thing as well 47MVEagle, think he's on maybe another 50k more than Tommy. Talk about hiding out in the backline, and when the ball doe's come in his direction he over runs the intended pass or backs off and doesn't follow the attack up in support. If we are seeing this, imagine the poor suckers who follow the Titans, they must be saying we've been duped. No tough carries, shows no desperation in defence, looks like he cares, but I think it's all an act. To finish,.... getting money under false pretences.

Who is responsible for throwing away money on this myth !!

 

[Eagle 1]

Maybe, but if we were looking for a long term Marty replacement I would have a crack for sure, particularly if the Dogs pay some freight.

I'm with you on this one Ranga, Thompson is a hard as nails type of forward. The type that usually thrives in clubs like Manly, and is the sort of player that Des likes to work with.

 

[Eagle 1]

Wow !! the Titans know how to waste money, Taylor and Fifita are laughing all the way to the Bank, 2.2m (combined) who authorized these deals !!

I think it was Mal. Not so good in club land is he?!

 

[Eagle 1]

I think it was Mal. Not so good in club land is he?!

Now that I think about it, you're right on the money. It was Big Mal....how embarrassing !

 

[The Who]

The highlight reels on players are so misleading. They almost exclusively concentrate on the player's attacking skills, showing them scoring tries and looking flashy. Fifita and Taylor would have impressive highlight reels which is what surely influenced their bloated salaries. But a footballer has to be able to defend, and put himself into the match. There is no use scoring a great try if you let two tries in though poor defence. The Tits recruitment team must have been blinded by attacking flair and failed to study what these players did for the majority of a match, which was/is bog ordinary.

 

[BOZO]

Another win by the Storm . Their Consistency is exemplary
