No Rush for Fafita on Blues.

Interesting to read Andrew Fafita hasn't made up his mind whether he wants to represent NSW yet. Do you think, this is the problem we have in NSW? I mean you would never hear of a QLD player thinking about whether or not he was going to represent QLD.NRL rules state Fifita can play for NSW, Australia & Tonga in the same year if chosen. He wouldn't have to make a choice.He was asked why he hadn't decided yet, Fifita said: "I'm not to sure, I've got time. Is this our problem, picking players with this kind of attitude? New coach, new start, I wouldn't pick him.

  • Simple if hasn't made up his mind he should be marked "Never to play for NSW"

  • Fcuk Origin off all together... QLD play for the jersey, NSW play for the money

  • I wouldn't pick him, give someone who is actually passionate about playing a go.

  • For me he and any of the others who are not prepared to put in for the whole series should be locked out of any future SOO matches. 

    With this sort of attitude even now he should be told now that he is no longer part of the NSW SOO teams future, we need players in the team that can show the attitude that was on show for all to see when Billy Moore shouted out the Queenslander call as they came down the tunnel.  In the end that is the Maroons version of the Haka and it works for them. NSW sadly shows nothing of that passion. 

    It also shows his overall attitude and why he is hot and cold even at the Sharks.

  • 1 phone call from Fitler would solve this. "Sorry Andrew I won't be picking you for Origin this year."
  • Guess we will find out if Fittler is all talk for cameras . If Fifita plays for NSW ever again it will show nothing has changed and we are doomed 

    • You’re totally right. In my opinion, you need to field the best 17 players, but if one of the best 17 players is like Fafita, you must replace him with another player.
    • Agree, you need players with passion & that origin mentality. You can't take a player like Fafita that's obviously questioning whether he really wants to play or not. If you have no desire to play for NSW, your dedication will also be missing.
  • I don't trust media reports like this now as they take things out of context and misquote players all the time.
    With media continuing to question if he should be allowed to play due to his Tonga commitment, he probably don't want get his hopes up and knows there chance he mightn't play no matter how much he wants to.
    Issue is qld media support the qld players while nsw media love drop the boot in, so players don't trust them or want to play their games.
    Origin months away he probably more concerned start season well with cronulla then discuss origin.
    • They actually had direct quotes from him which he wants to be “chased” he should fark off. It’s a simple he either wants to play or doesn’t it’s not like he is a younger player deciding for first time who he wil represent and is being courted . He either has passion for the blues or doesn’t . Seems to me he doesn’t so he can fark off
