David Fifita : Sat Jun 11, 2016 6:00 am  

Wakefield have signed Cronulla Sharks prop David Fifita on a deal until the end of the season to strengthen their squad try and avoid the middle 8's. Players like Fifita are available, GH needs to get his act together and sign one.

I'm available and have a pair of boots ready, doesn't mean Leeds should sign me.

It's David Fifita not Andrew Fifita. He's rubbish.

You might be surprised at how well he goes in Super League. Yes, he's not the same level as Andrew, but he'll still make plenty of yards and plenty of offloads - he was actually very good last year for the Sharks when he played.
He has been known to have a questionable level of professionalism at times, but if he's firing and committed, he'll do well.

I think we need players with guaranteed professionalism and commitment not ones that do it when they want.

If a decent half or hooker is available then fair enough, otherwise we'll get through with who we've got. No room on the overseas quota either, so it's probably a non starter

He did play well last year and think he will do well for Wakey. Might do him good being out of his twins shadow.

Leeds don't sign players willy nilly.

They sign players when opportunity presents itself which enhances the greatness that is already there at the best run club in Super League.

Success at the best run club in Super League is based on an outstanding world class academy alongside the functioning of unrivalled world class sports science facilities at Kirkstall.

Fans need to be patient and allow the system in place to produce the goods.

Hope they have got some oversized kit - they are gonna need - he first question on arrival at Wakefield - "Where is Nandos"

Unlike Matt Adamson whose first words were "Where is the mirror"

In Fifita's case, I thought his first question might be "Where is Wimpy's" but he's probably never heard of it. Does that Wimpy still exist near the Wakey ground?
