Fifita deserves his contract and will probably settle down now. Great playet.

Nobody can be totally sure any player will be a success ditto nobody can be sure they will fail though some on here seem to think they know best.

What I did know is Finn was smart. Fundamentally he's all wrong, he's to slow, he's a bit to squat in shape, he's not agile - he has nothing but his brain and that's what's given him a career. Unlike every other attribute a player can have it's the only one that continually improves (unless you're Hock or Chase) - something that had left him and a number of British players under rated. At the end of 2015 what we needed more than anything was a calm player who'd been around the block and in no way felt himself to good for us - for me he was a perfect choice. As were Woods and Grix, it's not all about physicality. Hudds have made a good choice with Ridyard.

The game needs to start looking deeper when signing players.

Where's that bozo supposedly from Australia who said David was crap?? Seems to have gone quiet now we have won a few and in fifth position...

Dave as beem awsome this season one of best props in sl for me think his defence goes unnoticed somtime too.he really works his socks for team but can also imagine hes great to have around the club too.the thing that pleases me most though is he had offers from club in sl and nrl and no doubt with more money but stayed here has hes happy same for miller too

Fifita has that big daft lad schtick down to a tee - but the contribution to morale of a player with his level of destructive power and sense of enjoyment is immeasurable; he's become a fan favourite, and I'd wager that his teammates also love having him around. One of the best signings we've made in a long time.

Meanwhile, Grix and Finn absolutely bossed that game; Finn is like a metronome - he just keeps ticking away doing exactly what's asked of him, without being spectacular or grabbing attention; and Grix has just the right combination of brains, skill and bottle - he almost invariably does the right things at the right time in the right way - and there's huge value in that.

Funny you should say that because the first time I really noticed what a smart player Finn was was when he was paired with Grix playing for Ireland (I already rated Grix). Can't be a coincidence that we made great efforts to sign both. Although the connectivity between the two was more obvious at International level because Grix played S/O they do still play well together.

In Wood, Grix and Finn we may have signed three bargain basement players but together they make a top notch 3 for ten pound deal - brilliant work. Don't know totally who's reasonable as Finn was a Smith signing but credit to all.

Jon Wells at the touch screen showed how well Grix conned the opposition defence into leaving gaps

Only just managed to keep him apparently. Well done to everyone who were involved www.totalrl.com/fifita-reveals-h ... last-week/

When I heard Chase had gone to Widnes and would play against us instead of somebody actually on their game, I was pretty happy about that.
You can tell Cas have moved on a bit, no longer looking to poach our also rans, they're trying for the cream now.....pffft

Fully agree, son't know where this Cas love in began.

Why wouldn't he - he's the Chairman at Cas! I'd like to believe that MC would take the same attitude about our club.
