HAS he, or hasn't he? That is the question all Fijians are asking about their national hero Waisale Serevi, who is said to have signed professional forms with an Australian rugby league club.
The Fiji rumour mill says he has switched codes, and a press report last week said he has already put pen to paper, quoting a senior Australian league official.
Still, Serevi denies everything.
The sevens magician, who helped Fiji to three successive Hong Kong Sevens titles between 1990 and 1992, has promised his fans that he will return to the territory next year.
Promises that come amid sworn statements from rugby league officials and people supposedly in the know that he is committed to Australian expansion team the Brisbane Crushers for the start of the 1995 season.
Australian rugby league supremo Keith Arthurson has added another twist to the mystery by saying Serevi will be part of the Fijian team competing in February's Sydney League Sevens.
Is Serevi a loyalist to the Fiji sevens cause; to the coaches who helped him attain hero status in Fiji, and to the forces that keep him financially stable playing rugby for motor giants Mitsubishi in Japan? Or is he a liar? One Fijian journalist has certainly lost respect for Serevi.
