Got to say that sounds like agent talk and a jorno putting 2 + 2 together. It's not impossible and it sounds convenient, almost too convenient and thus too good to be true.

Still if it happened it would be the biggest signing in SL history - a current SOO player and Premiership winner who should be a Clive Churchill medal winner and in the current Kangaroos squad - doesn't get bigger than that!

Would really sort the squad out should both be here next year. I doubt it will be so but it's nice to see positive rumours not instantly rubbished by Michael Carter.

It would be an amazing signing, one which I don't think any other SL club could pull off. He is genuinely on of the best players in the world right now, and if his brother and close friends can convince him to come, and the Sharks are willing to do a deal, then I'd love to see it happen.

Who'd have thought that last season we were battling it out for our survival, and this year we are linked with one of the world's best players!!!

I also think that bringing Andrew over would get the absolute best from David, they'd be able to develop each other, and bring our other players up in line with them

Thsts the key, he really is probably the best prop forward in the world right now and no SL club has ever managed that, close but never the absolute best.

Big enough story to make the national media and one of the few that would actually add season tickets!

I can't pretend that I think it will happen because Idon't but I'm happty to dream or be proved wrong

Wow, I know that if something looks too good to be true, it usually is but, this would be HUGE.

Whilst it still possible, I'll just keep hoping

Wow...that would be some front row!.....

Hope it comes off but can't see it. The club will do well just to retain David Fifita on a 1 year deal.

Dreeeeeam, dream dream dreeeeeamm, dreeeeeeam.....

On top of what we have, a quality hooker (to replace Moore), and these 2 - I think we could push top 4, certainly be in the mix with Cas. Not very likely, but we can hope!

Would love to see either of them with us, but both.

It would be great, and we can dream.

Cant realistically see it happen though.

Hope im wrong on that

I can think of a number of reasons why a player of Andrew Fafita's calibre wouldn't join us but there are two stumbling blocks that bother me most.

1: If MC sticks to his ethos and only pays what the club can afford then we can't afford A.Fafita although we are one of the few teams with that amount of space under the cap. The only way I can see it working is if MC with I suspect JK's help has put together a group of backers for this particular project as we did all those years ago with Wally Lewis.

2: The elephent in the room known as A.Tupou. We would need to free up a quota spce and because he's crocked and he's expensive he looks the most obvious, though you could also shed Arona or Bill Tupou at a push. I can't imagine we want to pay him off and I'm guessing he isn't walking. Now I don't know how this works but if a player sustains a cereer ending injury whilst playing for the club then doesn't the clubs player insurance pay out, seems the best way out for all if that were the case and could be proved.

At the moment it seems like a mountain to climb.
