On face value it is a hell of a lot of money on a kid who has played less than 50 games, but I think it is a massive signing that will bring benefits beyond the field. Also interesting is the theory that Fifita may think he is more likely to improve under the coaching of Holbrook rather than Siebold.

This, along with getting EseEse and Faasuamaleaui will be massive recruitment tools. What we need is a good hooker. Imagine playing off a pack of Herman, Tino, Mo, Fifita and Fermor. Exciting times.
For what it’s worth, Vossy reckons Fifita is the best forward he ever saw in 30 years of calling schoolboy footy. I know people are skeptical because he’s so young and inexperienced but I genuinely think he’s worth the punt.
