Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 3108019, member: 9424"] Having never met the bloke, I simply cannot draw the conclusions you have about Fifita. I do think he’s a young kid with all and sundry in his ear telling him lots of different things. I also think he probably doesn’t have the life skills or the necessary smarts to articulate where his head is at and is most likely simply parroting what someone else has told him. What I do know is that he’s not the first 19 year old to show signs of getting caught up in their own hype (not just in the NRL) and he definitely won’t be the last. Further, if we got rid of every 19 year old kid that did get ahead of themselves, we’d have been without quite a few good players over the years. I guess the takeaway is; don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. He’s 19. If he’s acting like this at 25 I’d be a little more worried he’s not maturing and has a poor support network. But from all reports, his Mum is the steadying hand that most kids need and she’ll do everything she can to keep him in line. And from what I’ve read about their relationship, if she can’t do it, I doubt there is any club or coach that can. [/QUOTE]
