Gold Coast's $1.25 million man is once again under the gun after criticism from a retired premiership hero.Scott Sattler took aim at barnstorming Titans backrower David Fifita following their loss to Parramatta on Saturday."David Fifita, although he scored an amazing try on Saturday night, I think he's one of their worst players at the moment, to be quite honest," Sattler told SEN radio on Monday."They need to find more out of him. If they don't, I'd think about putting him on the bench."Fifita, 22, is one of the highest paid players in the NRL since moving down the road from Brisbane on a deal worth $1.25 million a season.He can be the most destructive ball runner in rugby league, and regularly slices through defensive lines with brute strength like no one else can, to score or set up thrilling tries.But for large periods during games he has a habit of disappearing. He's been accused of picking and choosing when he wants to put in effort, instead of constantly exerting himself to the level his pay cheque demands."If he's getting big bucks, he's got to have big performances," league legend Wally Lewis told Wide World of Sports' QLDER.
