Vidot wants Mal’s tick to flick Samoa

BRONCOS winger Daniel Vidot is desperate to play for Queensland but wants to know he is a certain Maroons selection before switching his allegiance from Samoa.

Vidot is one of several Maroons wingers who could come under consideration by Queensland selectors this weekend as they search for a replacement for injured star Brent Tate.

As much as Vidot is a proud and passionate Queenslander, committing his international allegiance to Australia and the Maroons would rule him out of Samoa's team for the end of year Four Nations tournament.

COPLEY THE MAN TO REVIVE MAROONS

Daniel Vidot shows his Samoan pride on his Instagram page.

"I'd want to know first before I get that changed because if I wasn't to get picked then I would obviously miss out on the Four Nations," Vidot told the Courier Mail.

"That is a once in a lifetime thing for Samoa, we've done the hard yards and to miss that would be heartbreaking.

"But if I got the opportunity to play Origin I would definitely grab it with two hands. I reckon it's the biggest thing in rugby league, it's bigger than international footy to be honest.

"I used to go to all the (Emerging) Queensland camps when I was younger, I know what it's all about and heard from lots of the greats and know lots of them as well.

"If I was to get selected I can change to Queensland but I won't be eligible for the Four Nations. Queensland has always been my goal, ever since I was young.

"Big Mal (Meninga) knows I'm a massive Maroons fan. I'm very passionate about it, you can see that on Instagram and Facebook.

"I just want to focus on my footy now and keep playing the best I can and let everything else take care of itself."

The 24-year-old Souths Acacia Ridge junior is vying for Tate's wing spot with Broncos teammate Dale Copley, Melbourne's Will Chambers and Newcastle's Dane Gagai.

Vidot is ranked second in the NRL for metres gained this year, averaging 172m per game, and is living up to his reputation in the early years of his career as a damaging ball runner and finisher.

Vidot revealed he'd told Broncos coach Anthony Griffin at the start of this year playing Origin for the Maroons was on his list of 2014 goals, along with securing a permanent first grade spot at Brisbane and winning the NRL premiership.

"(Origin) was one of my goals at the start of this year," he said.

"I told Hook (coach Anthony Griffin) that firstly I want to cement a spot in the Broncos team and hopefully win a premiership and also to play for Queensland, that's my dream mate."

It is no coincidence Vidot has rediscovered his best form since returning to Brisbane after some leans years in Canberra and Wollongong.

Surrounded by family and his childhood friends, Vidot is able to escape the footy bubble almost daily to enjoy life with his mates who exist outside of the NRL club.

Among those pastimes is his love of music and acting, posting several videos on Instagram singing and playing around with his cousins.

"I don't mind a bit of singing and mucking around. That is the kind of character I am and the boys know that," Vidot said.

"I just felt like everything was footy when I was at other teams. It was just too much for me.

"I'm a bit of a chilled out kind of guy, I like my time away. Hanging out with family and friends and not always having footy on my mind is a big help.

"So I'm finding when the game day comes I'm ready and I'm not mentally drained with football and the thoughts of footy."
