Re: David Fifita : Tue Sep 01, 2020 11:59 am  
We are quick to castigate Fifita based on the club statement but did he request a smaller GPS, if not then OK but if he did why was this not also stated. I note that Chester was not exactly forthcoming just saying that apparently he had asked for a smaller GPS. He is the coach and should know therefore did he or did he not, I would suggest we wait for an answer before we just blame the player and coming up with reasons why he is no longer what he was and should go.

I am ready to be shot down here, but something about this GPS thing does not sound right to me. Let us not forget that David Fifita put his hand up to play whilst clearly injured on many occasions last season. I dont think that a GPS vest being uncomfortable would stop him from playing. There is more to this story.

I would just like to say if Eastern Wildcat is going to post on here he gets his facts right and not make accusations against senior people at the club.


Perhaps EW should go watch Hull KR where and I quote “at least the chairman has balls.”

What was underhand regarding Rocky?


His agent thinking he could get a deal better than the club was offering and failing? Yep, blame the club for valuing a player at one figure, and others not agreeing.

The big fella needs to take a good look at himself and bloody quick. I dont see him pulling a Trinity shirt on again but would be more than happy for him to show up in a couple of weeks time.Not seen the best of him for q while now and any mature professional would buckle under . go out and show his worth . I did ask the question if he was still on the pay role and if not can we still hold his contract. I know hes been stood down by the club but hes refusing to conform to regs.
Think the best the club can hope for is a fee with a player exchange.

Who the hell would buy him when top clubs here sign Aussies they buy lads prepared to knuckle down get fit for s start he's had his chance in NRL who'd want him there

You mean you were slow to find a way to get a dig in against the club

I just don’t see how the two are in anyway connected. It’s like a battered wife excusing her husband because he got her some flowers last year. Extreme example but valid. Or to use a RL analogy, your only as good as your last game.

A lot of things wrong with this post.

Firstly, a lot of people inherit money. I lived on Kettlethorpe as a kid, so you can imagine that I never will, but some people do. That's life.

Secondly, MC said right at the beginning that he sort of ended up with the club. So, a guy with some hobby-cash to throw around decides to throw a bit towards a local rugby club, at that time under the rich leadership of local blowhard Glover, but did so because it was fun and why not? The club hits the buffers because it was badly-run, so the guy puts everything on the line for the club, going from a side-interest to a full-time pursuit.

Thirdly, and in line with your previous posts, sometimes tough management upsets people, but a club like ours needs it, because we can't afford any passengers.

I get that if you get enough poison on a drip-drip basis, it gets into your bloodstream, but maybe time to pull out the drip for a while. I don't know the guy, and I might even find that I wouldn't like him if I met him, but he's turned the place around, at immense personal risk. I'm sure he's upset some people, but that's life. We need strict management.

As for Covid breaches, people do all the time. I can bet everyone on here has met someone they shouldn't have met, a relative or someone, or not counted the bubbles, or strayed within two metres, or done something. Players have. I have. Even Wayne Bennett did!


Spot on slugger.

Sadly the poison is two deep with this one. But true to form, one win and he’ll be claiming his support and that he and MC are like blood brothers. This poster has history, he’s swapped sides that many times he’d make a quisling blush.

The GPS only came out at the weekend do you know he is lying if so please enlighten us because if he is then the club were right to act in the way they did if not then why did they not state this. I wait your reply confirming which is correct so that this can be put to bed and the club exonerated from any blame and we can assume Fifita is a liar.

Is the damn thing the same size for everyone or custom made ???? If everyone else can wear it then surely Fifita can !?!
