Andrew and David Fifita : Wed May 18, 2022 9:21 pm  

Apparently Andrew as hired the same UK agent as his brother and is looking to join him over here for next season playing together in same team.David is out of contract with Trinity this season and other clubs are showing an interest . If it happens wonder if they'll be both at Wakefield, obviously Trinity would have to avoid relegation if it were able to happen.

First of all. Wakefield won’t go down. Secondly, signing the other fifita brother would be a massive coup and would improve your team massively. I hope it comes off

I hope that you are correct on all counts.

Not really, purely because Andrew Fifita is shot. His knees, amongst other things, are done. He is averaging around 20 mins a game for Cronulla because that is all he can do anymore. Whilst its a nice thought we need more from someone who would be one of our highest earning players than 20 mins a week. We are not a club that can carry luxury players.

It would be a marketing dream, not that that will register with the club.
Once the supporters start to say things like we couldn't afford, or not in our league it kind of shows that not only have Theclub lost ambition but the supporters have.
What a crying shame.

The marketing opportunity is immense.
It needs a sponsor to get on board with it for the potential kudos.

I agree.
He'll draw other players in too.

We just need to make our league position high enough to confidently say we aren't going down so he isn't running a risk.

Just one point - I wish people would stop saying we won't go down.The fact that Toulouse are actively strengthening, and it's hard to see where our next win is coming from, seems to point to the opposite.Personally I don't think we will, but that's probably more to do with me being optimistic re everything Trinity.

Nail on the head. We seem to have been chasing this pipe dream now for about 2 seasons. Wonder how many younger and fitter props we could have potentially signed, had we have not deluded ourselves to this.

We need to move on
