Brad Fittler has urged David Nofoaluma to return with a positive attitude and impact at the beleaguered Wests Tigers, rather than having his head turned by his stint at the Melbourne Storm.Fittler took aim at the controversial loan system, and said it was no shock that the players who left the Tigers for greener pastures are now seemingly reluctant to return to Concord."I don't like the idea - it just muddies the water straight away already," Fittler said on Nine's Freddy and the Eighth."There's a few of these players, Gildart who went to the Roosters, and obviously Nofoaluma. And they're both saying 'we'd love to stay' and now they've got to go back to the club. This was always going to happen."Andrew Johns said that he'd like to see Nofoaluma remain at the Storm permanently, but Fittler was having none of it."The idea is for him to come back with his experience, and be a leader," Fittler said."Two years ago he was talking about getting on our bus, and chanting Tigers. All of a sudden, it's got too hard for him."He should be taking their training principles and bringing them and back and go 'this is what we should accept, and what we shouldn't accept.' It's a good time for him to come back and be a leader - get on the bus Nofa!"The Tigers are at rock bottom right now, and are in the box seat for the first wooden spoon in the joint venture's history.
