Biography

Mt Isa junior gave great service to the North Queensland for five seasons match before surprisingly signing with the Warriors in 2005 – the year after the North Queensland qualified for the finals for the first time. A halfback/hooker with the Warriors, Fein declared his intention to represent the Kiwis in the 2006 Tri-Nations competition and told officials that his grandmother was born in NZ in order to fast-track residential qualification rules. Fein made his ‘Test’ debut in NZ’s 18-14 win over Great Britain in Christchurch before the media discovered that the birth certificate he furnished to officials was for his great-grandmother – making him ineligible to represent the Kiwis. NZ were stripped of its competition points and Fein disqualified from playing for the remainder of the series. He has since restated his intention to qualify for NZ via the three-year resident rule.
