Former NRL star Andrew Fifita has removed an controversial Instagram post after angering two clubs and copping a warning from the NSWRL. Fifita — a Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks premiership player who retired from the NRL at the end of 2022 — now plays for the Woy Woy Roosters in the Rugby League Central Coast competition. The Roosters are involved in a tense competition standoff, with some clubs refusing to compete against them following a wild fan brawl when they faced Wyong in June.
“Some clubs refuse to play us because we refuse to be bystanders. Toukley Hawks, let’s see what you will do next week. Blak , Loud & Proud.” “At Woy Woy, we firmly oppose racism. We’re taking a stand by kneeling before our games going forward.” It has been reported that the Eagles and Sharks are furious with Fifita and stunned by his accusation of racism. The original brawl that has sparked the club protests was, allegedly, racially motivated.
