He hasn't even played in a Grand Final let alone won one.

Hasn't won an origin series either.

That's two pretty big milestones for any player and he isn't close to achieving either of them.

Aka, I've had a massive offer from Rugby Union and I know that not only will I be rolling in dough but I will totally dominate the bunch of sub par athletes that play that game and walk into the Wallabies squad with my eyes closed.

I can understand where Fifita is coming from though. More money for less effort is a big lure for anyone who is gainfully employed.

SBW has also shown that when you've had enough of Union, the NRL will welcome you back with open arms and no hard feelings.

There's one major milestone he hasn't achieved in a Premiership. And he plays for Cronulla, so that's out of the question.

He's played in the NRL, he's represented his state and country, he's won a World Cup - think what you want of him but he's not wrong, he's almost done it all.

Will he walk into the Wallabies squad that easily? IMO it'll be pretty tough for a prop to convert (might be easier if he switches to lock or a loose forward). If he goes, in time he'll become an international, but it shouldn't be as easy as walking in with his eyes closed. then again, it's the wallabies so he'll probably be picked due to his leagueieness even if he's not worthy of the privilege yet

If he wants to play Union then let him go. I am past having concern about what players want to do.

Read the article, it says that he'd be a number eight. He should be able to pull off that role.

and interesting to see that he grew up playing rugby too

The Rugby World Cup in 2015 & also the Rugby 7's at the Rio Olympics will be a lure for a number of rugby league players ( chances to play for other countries besides Australia too )

Maybe he's having a dig at the limited offerings in League. Can't take him to Rio, can't offer much more than a token international competition, probably can't offer much more money than he's getting now, can't offer the travel opportunities, can't offer the same longevity, can't offer stable peace of mind at the moment . . . what it can offer is somewhere to return to
