Fifita Eyeing Maroons Debut Amid Origin Race

'He deserves it': Titans back Fifita for Maroons debut

Jojo Fifita may soon join the Titans' lineup for a Maroons debut if Josh Hannay has his way as competition for Origin spots intensifies during Magic Round.

As Queensland and New South Wales prepare to disclose their teams ahead of the May 27 series opener, the Gold Coast speedster is being considered for a call-up, with both wing positions available.

Fifita, currently the Titans' leading try-scorer at right centre, has shown impressive form this season and is eager to represent the Maroons, but he prefers to let his performance speak for itself.

As they approach a mini-Origin showdown against the Knights at Suncorp Stadium, he is set to face Bradman Best on Sunday.

Meanwhile, his coach, who previously worked with Billy Slater, confidently endorsed Fifita's potential, believing he can excel for the state following an outstanding start to the season.
