The “fat mess” (his words not mine) Andrew fifita has never won the golden boot so no, he’s nothing like Tommy Makinson.

Also, Tommy Makinson has never cost his club £6m in sponsorship like the fat mess did

What makinson the man who grabs testicles which to me is like sexual assult

According to CC we're a million miles away from signing AF.
I'd like us to, but just cannot see it.
I personally think we'll be looking elsewhere.

And yet, you feel the need to go on a Trinity forum and start slagging off a "potential" signing, get a bloody grip man.

Thinking about it, even if we had signed him, it would make sense to delay the move based on his 3 match ban, he is available for selection over there so he will be banned for 3 weeks if the deal was done and he was set to come over then he would likely face 5 weeks on the side-line due to the quarantine making him unavailable for selection anyway.

Saw the interview with Chester saying we hadn't even touched on the financials of the deal which I find hard to believe, if that`s the case then you would think we are wasting a lot of time on a deal that seems way out of our reach financially.

The thing is if we are 1,000,000 miles away from signing him, who is replacing Tangata?

Was my thinking but to be fair there was another party involved in that move, maybe Fax were only willing to take him if they got him immediately and we had to take that chance.

The good thing though imo is we now know we have some money in the pot to bring another quality signing in and we also have a quota spot even should this fall through.

True, forgot about that tbf.

Re: Andrew Fifita : Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:24 am  

I honestly think the deal is done but that's just me.

If not, I won`t be distraught, it would be nice to have him in and I think it would be a big boost and I actually think he would go really well but I also think we probably have other targets down under as well.

Not only would it be a massive signing for Wakefield Trinity but it would be a big coup for Super league, on paper at this point he would be our biggest signing of the SL era.

True, and let’s be honest Tangata clearly wasn’t gonna be given a decent run given Chester was playing Tanginoa at prop ahead of him so we might as well save the brass. Maybe we are using AF as a smokescreen to smuggle someone else in under the radar or is that giving us too much credit?!
