If Tanginoa has indeed broken his arm then it’s a big blow and would somewhat diminish the uplift brought by Dave Fifita.

Maybe Tanginoa could also be deregistered and get Andrew Fifita over here as well, now that would lift the mood on the terraces and providing they’re both near match fitness I could see us getting a couple of wins.

I'd be happy with two Fifitas but I'd prefer Dave and a fast experienced halfback not made of biscuits.

Andrew has fully retired and has only very recently had another one of many post retirement surgeries.

To be honest i doubt Dave is anywhere near fit either. He’s only played a couple of low level games all season due to injuries.

What will we do if he can't make 40 minutes on the field and hardly take a run......oh wait.....never mind

Oh he’ll offer more than Atoni & Proctor. Just not sure he’ll necessarily be the same Dave we remember from the get go.

For info Dave played today off the bench for the Entrance Tigers in a defeat to Maitland Pickers. Lets hope he got through unscathed.

He only needs to play for 10 minutes to match Atoni and 20 for Proctor 5 of which he spends gasping for breath.

At least he knows what the club means to the fans ,Will not stop us from going down, but could mean some fans may stay till end of season ,for just on bit of magic We have waited 14 games for a winger to score a try ,so miracles do happen

Wonder if his brother could come too

Let me just get my opinion of this straight, while I think his character would lift the team and he certainly wouldn’t disgrace himself, I don’t actually think it’s a good move to bring him back.
