Fifita is the player that Dave Taylor should have been.
yep - Roosters n Tigers must be kicking themselves
As a teenager, Fifita had trialled with the Sydney Roosters and the North Sydney Bears, but was considered lightweight, even though he was playing as a winger or centre at the time. Fifita said he, "tried eating and all that stuff but it didn't work and then one day I just blew out. It wasn't until I was 17 or 18 that I put the size on. Maybe it was the grog, I don't know. I was seriously pushing to get to 80kg back then. I think I was about 70kg."[5]
Last yr he dropped 10kg to play at 109!!!!
