He’s on a plane on Saturday, baby due on Sunday.
The bloke’s in a class of his own for enthusiasm. Let’s hope tonight the inspiration for his 16 team mates leaves us error free for a change.

Manuel you are correct there ! The bloke has given his all every time he pulled on the shirt and his enthusiasm has rubbed off on others. Atoni for instance looks a totally different player since Dave arrived and I thought he was one of the best forwards on the field last night.
Unfortunately even Dave could not inspire Proctor

Thought Dave got some cynical tackles last night with 3rd and 4th man in attacking planted legs with no protection from the ref.

Just like to add my thanks to him for all his efforts and just being a fine human being and character.

Not to mention the flops that went unpunished. The lack of consistency in the officials decisions last night was striking. I don’t think he even signalled what a number of penalties were for, I’m not sure the referee knew himself at some points. Some bizzarre happenings.

Still not sure what Eseh got 10 minutes for. Not high, didn’t go over horizontal or even close. By all accounts the Catalan player hurt his ribs so maybe Eseh squeezed him too hard.

How the Catalan player who smash dived at Atoni’s knee while he was held by 2 players remained on the pitch I’ll never know. Looked a cowardly dangerous shot.

Obstructions don’t appear to matter at the moment (even even advantage is gained).

The holding down is so inconsistent it’s painful. Griffin tried to play the ball twice but was twice pulled down around 5/6 seconds yet no six again for trinity. A simple 2/3 second holding down next set and ref waves 6 again. Can’t wrap my head around it at all.

That’s not me blaming ref for a loss but more an observation on how I thought the game was referred poorly live.

I will be glad when this seasons over.






Top six 2005 - Trinity.

I agree. I thought he was awful and it impacted the game.

.... and even then the ref was telling the player to give themselves up, which they dutifully ignored so we finally got a penalty for the offence.

Back to David Fifita

He’s been brilliant on and off the field for all to see but it seems he’s been equally as good in the changing rooms.
He’s earned every penny of whatever his salary was and then some!

For all his boisterousness he’s never been a problem which can be a hard act to pull off for those players who have a natural mischievous streak.

Be proud of yourself Mr Fifita you’ve been a real credit!
