Comeback king David Fifita helped Wakefield finally win again - and revealed he turned down Castleford before “coming home.”
The cult hero prop, 33, caused Leeds all sorts of trouble as Mark Applegarth’s side finally got their first victory of the season on Sunday. After 15 straight losses, it prompted joyous scenes at Super League’s bottom club. Applegarth persuaded Aussie Fifita - a huge fans favourite in his previous seven-year stint at Belle Vue - to come out of semi-retirement to aid their fight against relegation.
He flew over for their Magic Weekend loss against Leigh but quickly got them up and running against Leeds even after Hugo Salabio was red-carded. Juggernaut Fifita, nicknamed the 'Big Bopper’, beamed: “That’s everything you can ask for when you play your first game back at home. And it is home. I’m speechless.
