Why Billy Slater DOESN'T Like David Fifita | NRL 2024
Queensland Maroons Head coach Billy Slater is being heavily scrutinised by Maroons fan and media for his game 3 selection. The two time State of Origin winning coach has faced criticism especially for dropping superstar backrower David Fifita for the whole series and now fans are calling him out to give an honest answer rather than the one he has been providing by only saying we 'considered ' him. Here I give my opinion as to why David Fifita is dropped.

Fifita is better than Kurtwell in this season. Fifita can handle NSW back-rower big Martin if he selects in-game 3.

Slatter suppose to consider David Fifita,he's the best in the fiels than Capewell.

Exactly. Capewell hasn't even played that many games for the warriors and he is not even close to the form Fifita is in.
Slater is starting to look like he doesn’t know what he’s doing

@@dailydoseofrugbyleague ok but why do u depend on Piakura to turn the forwards around so much 🤣
I saw some yt comments on one of the videos on the nrl channel that said the reason he was not picked was because he doesnt read defensive plays well and capewell has more tackle counts than him. Fifta this year is different from the one last year

That's true but he's good in short bursts. Just like Leniu, when you need momentum for 10 minutes just throw him in there and just tell him to run.

@@dailydoseofrugbyleague true. But billy slater has plans for Capewell. And we know that Capewell is a big game player and he's been in other deciders as well, so he knows what to expect.

Slater doesn't want to be seen as having to change his team due to the Blues Game 2 performance, plus I bet Fifita's style of play doesn't fit Slater's plan. Nanai needs to Shut Moses and Luai down and discipline in defence has to be shown. Reece has grown some maturity and aggression last weekend. The team with the least mistakes will win. Maroons have too much strike power....they could blow the Blues wide open if given the chance/possession

Not much in the forward pack. That's the only thing lacking but I see where Billy is going with his team . he wants points
You heard him 'the 17 players have earned their spot!
Kafusi and Kurtwell are not equal to the standard of David Fifita. Slater is hiding something against Fifita. If slater continues to suppress better players, QRL should reprimand him.

I think cos he was gonna go to Roosters if it was Storms he would be in automatically so watch our team get bullied again by NSW 🤦♂️ we lose fire Billy get master Coach Wayne Bennett 💯👊🏽
I believe there is something going on between maybe he thinks Titans need him or something but Fifita is a powerhouse. And i believe Heilum Luki should've of been picked to start the game and Fifita off the bench with them big runs and fends.
