Our young forwards stepped up and were great yesterday, don't need other expensive forwards,need a new coach...Robbo derailed our season with egotistical player positioning swaps...can't play catch-up football for semis every year...flick coach
Fifita poses more threat on an edge than all our backrowers combined
Fifita is playing for a contract he has been the biggest waste of money his entire Gold Coast career up until this season he would go down as one of the worst signings ever made by this club. Tino is a great player and would be wonderful but Gold Coast will keep him.
Tino for sure. Fafita is too inconsistent for the amount he will demand.
If this season is anything to go by he’s been the exact opposite, he can do it all freak of an athlete, Tino is a machine also but that X factor DFifita provides out wide is very, prime SBW like either way if your looking for players to build a club around Tino is top pick DFifita brings the X factor, how the Titans have both and not consistently play finals is beyond me.
If Tino is willing to swap Surfers Paradise for Bondi then yeah definitely ! ... he'd be the perfect replacement for JWH and work alongside his Queensland teammate (Collins) to lead our pack as well with the likes of Spencer and the other young guns in, around and coming up through the ranks.
Fifita is a weapon on his best day but he can be hot and cold most of time ... plus (no offence) I don't want the bloke to come down here ... play with us for a little bit and then end up down the road at Redfern with his "deadly bruzzas" and play for the Souffs cos he'll end up there ... it's just a standard operating procedure.

And who do you want to replace him with? Anthony Griffin...Justin Holbrook?
Tino is a fantastic leader. Leads by example. Whilst he looks like a d-ckhead, he is actually well spoken and has a good attitude off-field that impressed both Bellamy and Slater as they've discussed in the past.
He is a bit of a diver/milker which isn't "Roosters footy" but who gives a farrrk, 95% of people are nowadays. He would be absolutely perfect replacement for JWH. He is captain of the club for a reason and some of his perforamnces have been inspiring. Huge minute prop so you get value out of him. Plays a good enforcer role but doesn't go silly with it.
Fifita this season has been as close as I've seen to SBW from any edge forward in recent times. He has been absolutely awesome this year in his attack and defence, looks to be a completely different player and I think a lot of the credit for that should to Holbrook, making the decision to sack him all the more bizarre. He would be way too expensive though given he is on around 1.1m a season. He is a backrower, unless he takes a huge paycut (850ish), I wouldn't even consider it. Has the tendency to go missing at times aswell. He will win you games but not going to give you an 8/10 every week like Tino would.
I'd prioritise Tino over Haas or any other forward in the comp IMO.
