Message: [QUOTE="Emanon, post: 3420910, member: 13157"] Fifita is a great player when in form, but I'm still a No personally. I can't see how it benefits us long term. If Riki, Piakura and Robati were moved on for whatever reason, I'd rather a mature player similarly aged to Capewell. Then bring some superstar rookies in to be mentored by Carrigan at a much later date. We can all point to the Panthers having a group of guys around the same age come through together, but when they all retire or should injury end a career early (like it did Joey's) can the sustain their success? I'd argue we couldn't post Lockyer, Canberra didn't after Meninga retired despite Daley's best efforts and Parramatta were finished by the time Sterling retired. I'm pretty sure I read a quote from Renouf somewhere that said something like the young guys in 92 and 93 were the experienced players in 97 and 98. It's long term thinking though, and all that being said, if the club think otherwise and bring him back, I'm not going to question their decision. [/QUOTE]
