HOT RUMOUR: Andrew Fifita to leave NRL, play RWC for Tonga

The Roar has heard reports that Cronulla’s NSW Origin forward, Andrew Fifita – who is currently serving a suspension from the NRL – is about to walk away from his NRL contract, to play rugby for Tonga at the upcoming Rugby World Cup.

The Roar has heard that Fifita, who has had a rocky couple of years in the NRL following a number of controversial incidents – including the latest one at a junior rugby league game for which he was publicly castigated and suspended – wants to put himself in the ‘shop window’, so to speak, to pick up a lucrative rugby contract in Europe.

What better way to do that than to turn out for his native Tonga at the Rugby World Cup.
It’s believed that Tonga will play Fifita at 12 and transition him in a similar way to recent NRL converts Ben Teo and Sam Burgess.

Fifita had a rugby background as a junior.

The Roar has heard reports a deal is currently being worked on. Watch this space for more updates.

Rugby/Roar desperation for relevance, Fifita meltdown or complete and utter bulltwang?

Who'd be a Sharks fan?

If there is any truth to this, surely Flanagan drops him

How do you drop a suspended player?

Tonga have less chance of winning the RWC than Cronulla winning the NRL

Plus, they can't pay him much, at least SBW and Sam are being paid big money to sit on the bench (or perhaps stay home)

Or he looks in any way half decent and he ends up in France being paid a small fortune.

Think he'll just look lost and bored tbh - much like Burgess does, and SBW too...

He wont have a clue

Ben must be going mad with this bloke.

Funny that he didn't want to play for Tonga in the RL World Cup.

 

[POPEYE]

Fifita will find all that getting up and down and pushing not to his liking . . . doesn't have the legs for it

I remember Matt Dunning playing for the Wallabies for years...

Now there was an athlete...

I remember he took a shot a drop goal just to play the advantage and instead of missing he actually got it over :lol:

That fat merkin ended up costing his team a place in the play offs because of that :lol:

:lol:

Check it out, his reaction in slow motion was priceless and Requiem for a dream being the soundtrack an absolute piss take.

 

[Canard]

Are Tonga that much of a minnow that he would walk into the team in less than a month of training???

Hahahaha

LOL Bye...

How do you drop a suspended player?

:lol:

 

[Izz]

How do you drop a suspended player?

By cutting the rope.

 

[carcharias]

well at least he has his play the ball style sorted for Rugby

 

[adamkungl]

Fifita isn't worth the trouble anyway. If he wants to behave like a child let him go and sign a front rower that won't give away 3 penalties and 4 play the ball knock-ons for every decent hit up he does
