Axed Sharks star Andrew Fifita ‘lashed with a feather’ after brutal hit

The NRL’s crackdown on acts of foul play has been made to look like a joke after exiled Cronulla star Andrew Fifita got away with this brutal hit.

James Hooper


The NRL’s recent send-off and sin bin edict for acts of foul play clearly hasn’t filtered down to the NSW Cup.

Former NSW State of Origin and Australian forward Andrew Fifita somehow escaped getting sent off for a shocking high shot on Canberra Raiders five-eighth Matt Frawley last weekend.

Fifita, who’s currently been axed by Sharks coach John Morris from the NRL, was playing for the Newtown Jets at Belconnen Oval in Canberra.

The Raiders flogged the Jets 60-20.

What’s just as bad – the NSW Cup match review committee has somehow only clipped Fifita with a grade one dangerous contact head/neck charge.

Talk about lashed with a feather. He doesn’t even miss one game.

All Fifita ended up with was 90 carry over points. What a joke.

If they want to get foul play out of the game, there’s only one way.

Send offs and hard line sanctions. Fifita should have got four weeks.

We can see why Sharks want him gone. Too many brain explosions and you cannot afford to have ill disciplined players in the new format of the game. Saints are really taking a huge risk if they go for this guy. If they do get him, it has to be on the cheap.

We really need a bad ass prop forward to give us a well balanced prop rotation. So we have passed up a number of them and if not Fifita who do you suggest. I am not sold on Fifita however we do need someone for 2021 and beyond and Molo is not the answer.

I suggest our first grade prop rotation should be:
Vaughan
Lawrie
Molo
Mr Bad Ass

Backup props being Alvaro and Faamausil.
Gone at the end of this season are Ellis and Merrin.
