David Fifita now not signing with Roosters

[The DoggFather]

Well he might be waiting a bit, hope he keeps up the training.

Btw you blokes I hope have locked down Curran.....great player with good skill set and quiet achiever.

Stay away brother! Lol

Yeah I just can't think of a club who needs him I mean Tits have Weaver coming through, Wests have Galvin and Luai.. if he had more in his arsenal it would be a different story.

I've been saying that Curran is the signing of the year.. we've had situations where players have gone down early and he has played long minutes with big efforts on both sides of the ball.. definitely has to be a priority.

Have the Roosters signed him yet ffs?

Nope, and they couldn't even sign a 34 year old dane gagai who opted to stay at Newcastle

David Fifita has informed the Titans that he will be a free agent at the end of the season.

When he came to Sydney to meet the Panthers, I was thinking this screams to be a Roosters signing. Like it doesnt seem penrith like, they are a worker team, high energy, high fitness, just make every play count. So I was shocked it was reported he was coming to Sydney to meet with Penrith, I was thinking just like the cheese its seems like Roosters 1000%

But yeh, low and behold the Roosters back in the mix. I guess capspace is there this time. But if he signs for less then panthers offer then alarm bells. Wouldnt surprise me if Haas is to follow sooner rather then later, if David goes Roosters. Roosters are good until they are not, then they buy another premiership. Good on them though, would be fun if you are a fan.

If I was him i'd rather panthers though, if I was going to elevate my game to the next level. Roosters is where you go to have fun and cash in, and get punted when your form drops off. I guess Roosters is closer to Bulldogs training for his Mrs though. Less traffic going that way haha

 

[alwaysthesun]

I think Penrith is the better choice..(besides for the obvious reasons).. like yeah, he's a typical Rooster type of signing, but they're an aging group that will experience a bit of roster movement over the next few seasons, where as the average age at Panthers is about Fifita's age, and despite what they've alrrady experienced, the group who will be there next year still have a lot of footy to play together.

 

[ChesoBulldog]

Hope he goes to Roosters. It'll be a huge flop.

 

[The Innovator]

Fifita is $1.01 to sign with Penrith

 

[w00t]

Roosters remind me a great deal of Real Madrid. Invariably they'll get a lot of success since Politis is an incredibly shrewd businessman, as much as i hate the team as a whole, i doubt anyone would complain to have an operator like Politis.

In terms of development if Fifita really wants to go to join a team, he should be joining the Panthers

Des probably couldn't convince him to stay and play Des ball until his market went down.

There is so much talent in the forwards there atm.

I don’t know if they will re-sign Crichton now and if they do they probably need to offload somebody else. Not necessarily for salary cap reasons but they just can’t fit everybody in first grade

 

[chemdog]

surely one of the roosters forwards will want to leave now that fifita is joining next season

 

[CroydonDog]

Dobbo saying rooters

 

[alwaysthesun]

How predictable

 

[Bulldogs09]

how funny. I think it’s a bad choice for him (no doubt paid more outside cap to equal titans $) but more his development. Not sure why the chooks doing it either. Crichton on less was a smarter choice. They need to replace suali and manu and just signed another forward they don’t need.

They didn’t sign him because they needed him. They signed him because they knew that it’s game over if he went to the Panthers.

cant fathom why you would pick the roosters over the panthers looking at both teams next year
