BREAKING: Bombshell backflip as Fifita pulls out of $3m Roosters deal

[rj90]

In a bombshell backflip David Fifita has turned his back on the Sydney Roosters to remain with the Gold Coast Titans for a further two seasons in a stunning turn of events.

Fifita was set to join the Roosters on a four-year deal worth $850,0000 a year from 2025, but has had a change of heart and will remain loyal to the Titans.

Under NRL rules clubs have a period to try and convince their player to stay, before their contract with their new club is registered and the Titans have pulled off a massive coup.

“The Gold Coast Titans can confirm David Fifita will remain at the club beyond 2024 and have approved his request to activate his player option for the next two seasons,” the Titans said in a statement.

This will result in Fifita remaining part of the Gold Coast squad until the end of 2026.

Funny the Roosters have withdrawn their offer that was rejected by Fifita. Why bother? They don't save face by doing that. Not often the Roosters miss their man.

Fifita was using a calculator supplied by Uncle Nick, when someone finally gave him a different calc, he realised that 850k is, in fact, less than 1 million dollarydoos.

Sydney Roosters statement regarding David Fifita​

The Sydney Roosters have withdrawn their offer to David Fifita.

Despite his management making the initial approach to the Club and Fifita personally informing the Sydney Roosters’ Chairman and Head Coach of his intent to join the Club last Thursday, Fifita has since expressed doubt about his decision.

Consequently, the Club has elected to withdraw its offer with view that it is in the Roosters’ best interests. The Club wishes Fifita all the best.



LOL.

I'm in Northern N.S.W so I have a small soft spot for the Titans I'm happy this has happened and now the backflip karma debt has been repaid in full.

 

[ricardo]

But but he always seemed so genuine and trustworthy?

 

[double hoops]

But winning a premiership was his reason for agreeing to join the chickens.

Titans might have some lunch bags of their own.

Gee hope Fifi doesn’t wake up one morning with a horse head in his bed

He never wanted to go to the Broncos, I was surprised when he signed with the chooks.

I’m wrapped for the Titans. I was whingeing to the daughter the other day when it was announced, about the imbalance of the have and have nots in the NRL. And how it makes it near on impossible to keep the one or two stars the Titans have got. And just as importantly they lose their bait to reel in any new talent.
I’ve no doubt the game against the Cowboys would’ve helped his backflip. Especially Foz. He is just such a good team leader. The way he was defending on Sunday was nearly kamikaze like stuff. (unfortunately the hammie sniper got him as well). And of course Des. Make no mistake, Des would’ve had the "we are trying to build something special here" speech in full swing. Good work Des. It worked.Apart from that family would’ve played a big part I’m assuming. As long as you stay out of Surfers, the GC is a great place to live.
So good onya David. Hopefully for the Titans sake, it will send a clear message to the up and coming stars of tomorrow, with a large proportion coming from Keebra Park (yes, I know their affiliated to the Tigers, but you can’t keep them all) and Palm Beach-Currumbin. Also the things I was calling you in the first five minutes…..uhh, can we just do an Annersley and sweep that under the carpet.Thanks Dave.

Great system. Now what's so wrong with a draft again?

 

[Chunkytuna]

That’s two that Uncle Nick has missed out on now. Gagai and Fafita!!! Losing his touch maybe?? Whatever the case, you’ve gotta love seeing things not work out for the fouls.

 

[The Wheel]

I was hoping this freed up one of their forwards which we could have a crack at. Good to see the Mad Scientist working his magic

Have Ray-Ray and Mrs Hadley been given a heads up?

It won’t be personal, Mr Fifita.

It’s just business.

That probably clears things up for the Admirable Crichton.

Wonder if Titans fans will be as annoyed at Fifita as they were with DCE.

I mean they are all about integrity and honouring an agreement right???

I was just wondering the same thing... Imagine carrying on for the last 8 or 9 years about dce pulling out on their deal but celebrating fifita doing the exact same thing to another club... Pretty ironic really

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I wonder if the Goosters were spooked by the Ponga revelations.

Note to self: don’t be silly!
