This is amazing. Crigglestone All Blacks ARLFC express great thanks to Michael Carter and the RFL for granting permission for David Fifita to play his last game in the U.K. tomorrow at Crigglestone with a 1.30 kick off.
We have a gala day starting at 11.30 building up to the game at 1.30.
We thank our guests, Walton and Crofton Sports club for joining us in a day where we hope to raise funds for charity close to our heart. There should be some memories created and sad farewells after the game.
All visitors are welcome.

Sad I'll miss this, another existing commitment. Would be great to see David one more time.

He’s a good lad.

Makes you wonder who’s missing each other the most, us or Dave.

It’s up to each individual as to how they rate Dave ability wise but I can’t think of many who’ve left a bigger mark on the club, certainly not in the SL era. Solomona was a better player and a fans favourite but still not the peoples player Dave was.

I don’t mind his retirement as I don’t think it will affect us to much, but I will miss the buzz when he entered the fray.

I'd take that one to cover Dave ( on a 1/10th of his current wage probably) if he wanted to

Sad seeing the For Sale sign outside his house.

It was an amazing long and wet day! The charities did well.
The game a ended as a fitting draw. Even the ref donated his fee.
Just how do you replace someone like Dave! Awesome.
