And his wife's name is Nikkita Fifita, her married name rhymes. :good:Andrew Fifita has a hot looking partner.

Agreed. I am not a Footy Show bagger, and like both Fifitas, but all that laughing was just embarrassing! I had to turn it off about 10 minutes in.I'm watching them now and it's very cringeworthy.
According to the telegraph Fifita is in rehab for depression
THE black dog of depression has claimed another big-name NRL star, with Cronulla, NSW and Australian frontrower Andrew Fifita recently checking into an eastern suburbs rehabilitation centre.
Sport Confidential has been told Fifita initially checked into a Shire-based facility after an incident on his brother David’s buck’s party in Brisbane last month, before later being transferred to an eastern suburbs clinic.
NRL player Andrew Fifita was forced into rehab to treat his depression.
A 116kg wrecking ball when fully focused on the field, the Kangaroos and NSW Origin frontrower has long been struggling with a number of inner demons.
As far back as the Kangaroos World Cup campaign in the UK last year, there was an incident involving the local authorities which the Australian team management did well to contain.
A hotel room in Manchester was damaged and the Australian frontrower was issued with a fine and forced to pay for the damages.
Alcohol is part of the issue, with Fifita occasionally losing control of his actions when he chooses to drink to excess.
Andrew Fifita is tackled by James Segeyaro and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak in a clash against the Panthers.
Interestingly, Fifita was also a late withdrawal from an Auckland Nines promotion in Sydney 12 days ago.
This is when the frontrower is believed to have entered into a specialist facility. As part of his rehabilitation, the Sharks forward has been given permission to attend his brother David’s wedding in Thailand later this month.
Fifita’s management refused to comment but said he was no longer in the rehabilitation clinic.
Let's leave this one alone
Great postIt is really sad to see so many players suffering at the hands of the booze. Players were better off when they had jobs and trained part time in this respect. This is never going to happen and I don't see any real solution to the endless list of players who end up with alcohol problems.
Being a very high profile player Andrew will get the best help with his depression and the probability is he will come out the other side Ok. Let's hope he is back on top as soon as possible.
