Agreed - I'm not saying we try and sign him, but in my opinion, he was more than adequate cover for Tom when he was injured........again.....

Didn't he leave sport to go travelling and blogging because he could earn so much more money than playing rugby?

Yeah i don't think he has much interest in being a pro-rugby player anymore!

Yes, it says his last club (maybe pro) was us in 2019.

I would like I’ve said a few times look at the best winger in championship in Lachlan Walmsley. Even if it meant a fee. He would be a good signing for 2024 either at championship level or at SL level. If we are looking at 2024 signings he’d be high on my list as a quota player.

Sorry but we need speed in the halfs, All we hear about is 33 year old coming to the club .Do not know who is making the calls for the signings, but it is not players to play in S L

Arriving in uk on tuesday apperentley atoni been deregisted

It may be that his U.K. work visa is still valid hence his return is not so complicated.

I think if this has happened it’s a good move. Dave is an infectious character to have in the camp and he will likely be our best prop.

The huge potential downer is if Tanginoa has broke his arm vs Catalans. That would be a big blow for rest of the season.

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.

Very true.

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.

To me it's tge same as every silver bullet solution being raised.
Our problems aren't down to one thing.
Fifita at his best will improve our team but he won't suddenly make us a winning side.
We also need good tactics and motivation from coaching team, faster backline that can catch a high ball, half back who can create space and has a running game, hooker who can put a decent pass in to the right person and some forwards that can make ground.

Yep and some strike in the centres/second row as well. But other than that we’re good.

Hope Dave brings 8 mates with him, We got none of that
