Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3216315, member: 9052"] I think Foordy is suggesting that Lolo at minimum is ahead of Fifita in terms of best forward in the game. I have Murray as the next best forward after Lolo. I'd also have Crichton ahead of Fifita in terms of edge forwards. Kikau is probably also ahead of him. Even a guy like Wade Graham, whilst not providing the physical attacking presence of Fifita, has a more complete game. He's a physical presence as an edge defender and also provides a point of difference in attack as a ball playing edge forward with a kicking game. Not sure I have Wade Graham ahead of Fifita, but his game is far more rounded than Fifita's. At the moment Fifita is a physical beast, but his game is just being bigger and faster, which is what he's been doing all his life. Compare that to SBW when he came into the game. He was an enforcer in defence and had the offload game, but he also had the stock standard physical running on the edge. At the moment I dont think Fifita runs lines all that well (stands flat in the line (ie. no decoy runs) and often gets it flat footed, wanting to do all his work after getting the ball). He does have an offload and I daresay Titans will look to give him a license to use it this year given they're paying him $1.25m and has to be the focal point of their attack. But his defence is a bit suspect given how physical his attacking game is. Still has a fair bit to work on before he can be considered the best in the game [/QUOTE]
