I love the big ****. Wouldn't swap him for ANYONE.
Seemed to take bit of a step back and be less involved tonight with the return of Captain Gal
I don't think it's injury/fatigue because the runs he did make were still great and he still played well just not at the same intensity or level as previous weeks. It's funny how some players go harder when they are given more minutes/responsibility
If Wade is going to be co-captain make Fifita vice co-captain!
Would bang
leave me some leg bone and cracklingWould bang
Would you still kick him outta bed if Lolo rang?

Will donate his Origin match payments to charity if he’s picked. Someone in the media will still find a negative spin on it though.
It's actually pretty smart from Fifita.
It puts the NSWRL under pressure to pick him or in an awkward position if they don't.
It's pretty hard to not pick the best NSW prop available. And now that he has announced that he would donate his match payments to charity it would make the NSWRL look uncharitable if they left their best prop out.
It would be a different story If he wasn't currently the best NSW prop. They could just say so and so are playing better and get away with it, but Fifita is leading the Dally M's.
Well done Fif's. Smart move to get your origin jersey (which you fully deserve BTW).
It will be interesting to see how this now plays out.
It shouldn't change anything. He's not committed to the series, he shouldn't be picked

I'd rather they didn't. Mostly based on the fact that there is a lot of football going on at that time and injuries are going to happen. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a stand-alone tournament but it's a bit difficult with week-to-week club football being played in between.Agree. I wish the series was a pick a 25 man squad like the 4 nations etc then pick your 17 each game from it
It was reported today by David Riccio that "Fifita will be rested for the game v Newcastle". Whether that report is true or not remains to be seen.
If I'm Newcastle, I use that as motivation
I don't think it's being overconfident or disrespectful though, Flanno would prob think Fifita genuinely needs the rest and is still recovering from injury and has Gal, Lewy ect back on boards
there are no easy games but Flanno is prob looking at the whole season
