Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3166003, member: 8814"] Thanks. My prediciton is fifita will come shooting out of the blocks and the titans will use him a tiny bit differently, this will lead to about 10-15 games where it was the biggest mistake in our history to lose him, then...... Teams will do video, teams will assess, teams target. He will then feel the pressure mounting...That's when we will find out if he is any different to the (literally) 10000's of others that have had mega deals thrown at them at a young age and failed in world sport. There's a reason it happens. He will still break tackles, he will still be talked about non-stop by commentators like he was last night when it was obvious staggs needed the ball, not him, he will still be a danger man when not marked properly (by poor teams in nothing games mainly), but his career will not be what it could have been had the titans and their fragile egos did not come along and HEAP all this pressure on a young player still learning his craft at the top. But, but, but "fifita is different, once in a generation"... Yep, and so were the 10000's of other young sport stars who got deals like this and didn't follow through. His Bali incident, his dragging out of the deal, his lying about his manager issue, the pokies, and the Everton park hotel don't scream put to me that he already has the right attitude to push through the pressure that will come with that contract and do the 1%s thaf turn the thurstons, c.smiths, Lockyers and cronks into what they become (none of them had the biggest deals in the game, at any stage of their careers I believe, never mind when they were 20). Maybe I'll be wrong, time will tell, but history and smarter rugby league analysts then me are favouring my opinion.... [/QUOTE]
