His missus has been locked up for fraudulently claiming $50,000
Re: Fifita staying in oz
I’m guessing she won’t be allowed back No the country will this affect him wanting to come back over at all?

Re: Fifita staying in oz
With 3 little kids to look after and his wife on house-arrest for 9 months it will be hard to leave the family - but earning a wage must come first. She's done the crime and he will have to pay for it.
He is lucky to not get caught up in this. He knew she was fiddling benefits (as proven by his phone messages) and has escaped an aiding-and-abetting charge.
I wonder what some of the "holier-than-thou" wakey fans make of this ?

He wont come back if his mrs cant, he'll just find another club to play for in nrl and wakey wont be able to do anything about it.
CLASSY CAS FOREVER
Re: Fifita staying in oz
I can't see why you wanna stir this up Tigerade, she's got caught she'll get whatever they decide, if DF doesn't come back then so be it, I don't think anyone would expect him to leave his wife and young family under such circumstances. I don't know how the Aussie legal system works but she's hardly a danger to the community and they have three young kids so a custodial sentence is highly unlikely. House arrest, does that mean she's literally got to stay inside?:)Tigerade wrote:With 3 little kids to look after and his wife on house-arrest for 9 months it will be hard to leave the family - but earning a wage must come first.

Re: Fifita staying in oz
According to the paper in Sydney (herald) the judge has already said a custodial sentence will be handed down after the Xmas period. The house arrest bit is simply until a sentence can be handed down.
Re: Fifita staying in oz
Really? I'd have thought with three young children a custodial would be out of the question. If she does get a custodial then he'll certainly not be back and we'll have to look elsewhere.St Albans tiger wrote:According to the paper in Sydney (herald) the judge has already said a custodial sentence will be handed down after the Xmas period.

Re: Fifita staying in oz
I think Wakey are doing the right thing - they are supporting the player and his young family. I would hope we do the same if/when a player needs the support of the club. Look at the recent case at Tigers with Zak Hardaker - two different scenario's but it does seem that some so called supporters want to simply get a player kicked out of the club instead of supporting them when they need it most.JIN JER wrote:I can't see why you wanna stir this up Tigerade, she's got caught she'll get whatever they decide, if DF doesn't come back then so be it, I don't think anyone would expect him to leave his wife and young family under such circumstances.

I read it differently to St Albans, I can't see a custodial myself reading the magistrates commentToady wrote:Are you sure that's what it says?St Albans tiger wrote:According to the paper in Sydney (herald) the judge has already said a custodial sentence will be handed down after the Xmas period.

"To my mind, that would then cover the appropriate need for general deterrence," the magistrate said.
Then again how does house arrest work? Would she be trusted to have house arrest in the UK or would the terms of her sentencing mean she'd not be allowed to travel abroad?
Re: Fifita staying in oz
She is highly unlikely to qualify for a visa to enter the country now anyway due to this conviction so i doubt he’ll cone back alone.

Re: Fifita staying in oz
She is under house arrest until 25th Jan when she will be sentenced. So if he stays he would miss all pre-season with no guarantee that she will not get a custodial sentence on the 25th.
Think you're right JINJ, better look for a replacement for 2018 season.

It would be a big blow for Wakefield if he decides to stay in Oz. Her sentence will undoubtedly mean she will have to stay there.Spanishtiger wrote:She is under house arrest until 25th Jan when she will be sentenced.

Although it looks likely she will be able to stay at home and look after the kids.
"The wife of former NRL player David Fifita has been sentenced to jail...
However, she (the magistrate) adjourned the matter until January so Robinson can be assessed for home detention, in which case she would avoid any jail time."
