Moeaki Fotuaika is quietly pushing for an Origin recall after standout performances as he aims to regain confidence and make a strong case for selection.
While the Titans were unable to make it three wins in a row against the Knights on the weekend, Fotuaika was once again one of the best for his side with a game-high 43 tackles in defence and commendable 130 metres.
“I'm enjoying my footy a lot more this year, with last year not being the best footy wise. That's the driving factor for me this year – to just to have a good year this year and find confidence every game we play,” Fotuaika said.“With not having a good year last year, I felt like I let myself down as well as the team by not being at my best.
“After every game, I catch up with the assistant coaches on what I can do better in defence and attack so they help me out a lot in that technical side of things.Mo Fotuaika with David Fifita during Queensland Origin camp in 2021.At this time of year, however, Origin lure was hard to avoid, and Fotuaika, who also put a vote of confidence in his teammates Fifita and Fa’asuamaleaui to earn a place, said if selected, he would relish the opportunity to soak up more of the experience.
“I'd love to get back in that arena, but I'm just focusing on my job here at the Titans and just playing good footy and getting some wins and hopefully that can put me in good position.
