Think I'll trust Chester's opinion, but thanks anyway.
Even if he's as poor as you suggest, he's only here until the end of the season, with an option for next year.

| At the very least, he allows us to rest a very tired squad.

That's it, get the negative stuff in just as early as you can.
You couldn't even wait until his first bad game, oh dear

| Personally I'll give the bloke a chance to prove himself before writing him off. I'd have thought this would be an excellent chance for him to show what he can do and a great chance to get a team sorted for next year. I've only seen him a few times the past few years but he can shift for a big bloke , has a good offload and is obviously a nightmare to dominate in the tackle.

SL is totally different to the NRL so we should give the bloke a chance I think.

Yep we know and virtually every one of your local correspondent reports through the years has been pants IMO. You used to post using a different name if I recall.
As for living in Cronulla - so what. Nearly all of us live in Wakefield and you'll struggle to find two sets of opinions that are the same or that matter.
You're entitled to your opinion but you're not entitled to dress it up as expert knowledge because it isn't and that definitely applies to Fifita.
I suggest you just enjoy the sun and leave the worrying to those of us who actually pay the wages and we'll let you know if you were right

I couldn't be bothered to go back more than two weeks in your posts but you gave an opinion on the quality of Finn's kicking game on Sunday and how in the month prior to the Hull KR game Johnstone had been ordinary for a month, as well as giving an opinion on Jowitt's ability under the high ball.
You are either very good at giving opinions based on little evidence or else you don't live in Cronulla.
Just saying. Cheers cobber!

I think you might be mistaking this joker for memories of me!
I stopped posting a few years ago after emigrating ( I lived in Sutherland and was a member at Cronulla for a few years before we moved down the coast to Wollongong) you and I have had our differences in the past, and, quite frankly we still would if I posted regularly. However I do not know this chap and did not come across him during my time in the shire.
Fwiw I am a big fan of Fifita... Had it not been for an infection which caused hospitalisation I think he would have had far more NRL game time.
This season he played six games for Newtown in NSW league ... Four of those were a late inclusion because he was 18th man in first grade and on two occasions he was selected in the team of the week for the league... On his first grade appearances he aquitted him self very well and it for an uncanny run of injury free games would have had more opportunity. He also played very well in the Tonga team and in the pre season games including indigenous all stars team. This is a top signing fortrinity... Enjoy !
I am actually stunned that the sharks released him
Ps Anthony Tupou as been steady so far ... What out when he starts to play well ... He is one of my favourite all time players
Having cleared up your misplaced vilification I'll sod off again...

Must admit I did think it was you but I never recalled you being such a wally in the past - so apologies from me, now sod off

Just on Tupou.
He’s been a real enigma. No one can say he’s played badly and he seems to give 100% so it’s hard to criticise. Yet apart from a few flashes of greatness he has done nothing special either.
I suppose I expected him to dominate games yet he’s frankly playing second fiddle to both Kirmond and Ashurst and I certainly didn’t expect that.
As I’ve stated before the really odd thing is that there has been zero sign of his famed off loading game, the one part of his game I’d have thought would have been the easiest to achieve. We back up quite well and Ashurst in particular has got a few good ones away.
I really hope he finds his form and in his defence has an injury free run (an area where he has had no luck) because now’s the time for him to shine.

| Ashurst has been a revelation - he hardly puts a foot wrong and seems to run the lines that Kirmo used to, but can't any more.
I think Tupou started to show his quality, but hasn't been the same since he needed a gobful of stitches; still hoping he'll find his form - looked like a mini Big Ali for a few games, and could still get that back.
