    Haha, this was magnificent.

    On Fifita, I would have no doubt at all that if someone broke down each player's salary and how often they touched the ball per dollar of their salary, Fifita would be at least double the next guy in terms of how little involvement he has per dollar he is worth.

    And I should add that like others mentioned, it is not entirely his fault. It does seem to be a genuine game-plan for the Titans not to give him the ball. Whether it's a legit game-plan or not, I don't know, but it certainly comes across that way.

    What really pissed me off is that they spent 78mins cutting him out of the majority of their plays and when the game is basically gone and they're in pure desperation, they throw the ball out to him across the width of the field, twice I think it was, hoping he can win the game for them... even though they just spent most the match avoiding him.

    I don't know, the whole thing just frustrates me. He is lazy as fuck, but he's definitely not getting any assistance from his team.

    I can't wait to see the end of him in my Fantasy team next week, but fucking cut that I missed out on any last chance to bring in Tago, or a chance at Starling at an okay price (whilst building a Cleary fund), to hold onto king spud 2022 one more week.

    As others have noted, he's lost so much cash now that you basically need to trade him and an actual keeper out of your team to afford Cleary, if, like me, you have no bank at all.

    What a fucking wretched four weeks of Fifita ownership. I'm saying never again and I hope I stick to it. From a Fantasy perspective, I really can't handle lazy players and he's as bad as, if not worse than Latrell at his worst.

    That didn't make a difference. Tigers got ball back from kick-off, ate up set, then turned ball over in the corner. Then Brooks gave away the dumbest penalty around to give the Titans a chance to get upfield. Doesn't play out any differently if Tigers take the tap.
    How can you say that? Why not? What if they scored a try? They could also rolled the ball into the in goal etc etc. They would have also killed a few minutes.

    Despite all the advice not to get Cleary, I still did it. Several years ago CS9 missed a complete off season and come out 1st game back and banged out a 150 captain score. May not work out like that, who knows Very Happy Very Happy

    Ok, it's not *guaranteed* it would have made no.differemce, although worth pointing out the Tigers hadn't scored a try or forced a repeat set in the previous 78 minutes.

    Fact is, they still turned the ball over where they would have wanted to with the Tigers having to go 95m in 90 seconds. Then Brooks gave away a penalty and then they had a slice of bad luck with the last play. That wasn't because they took the two.

    It was a diabolical decision. The big risk was turning the ball over from the kick off with 4 minutes left. They shouldn’t have put themselves in that position. The fact we just dodged that was a miracle! Yes, we could also have just dropped the ball on the first tackle but regardless, you never take the two points in that situation! As soon as we took the two I typed we’re going to lose this 8-6!

    Can't believe the highlights for that game are 4 mins and 12 seconds long...
    they could have cut it back to about 30 seconds I reckon

    If the Koula rumour was true it would change my trades. Hope we find out before the first game tomorrow.

    I’ve currently got Koula as my 17th player. I have zero faith in my loops so hopefully he plays and he can just stay there.
