Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[MugaB]

Personally, I just hope the Fifita situation doesn’t drag on one way or the other.

We‘ve endured a lot of pain with our high profile ‘outgoings’ will they stay or won’t they. It is painful to go through, particularly when the majority have taken the money and left.

I really don’t want this situation to drag on only to discover he goes to the Roosters. Stay at the Titans fine, go the the Dragons or any other club I’m good with that, but I don’t want to endure a situation where we are supposedly in the box seat only to see him sign with the Roosters.

If we sign him great, he is a huge acquisition albeit I have some reservations, but I just don’t want the Roosters to sign him period.

I never miss out his picture will be out the front of the pie shop with a sign do not feed

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Your mob is in the box seat. Anything can happen with negotiations though. Holbrook is our ace up our sleeve.

We want to keep Gussy.
I think if we did land Fifi. Gussy wouldn't come to Penrith. Gussy was a private school rugby boy, who lives in the inner city. I don't see him looking outside that bubble. NRL related at least. Plenty of crap has been speculated over him, but a lot of is is misinformation. I think he stays with us.

Appreciate the insight, even if it’s not exactly what some of our fans want to hear

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Yeah, fun as it is to meme on a guy like Holbrook, there's no way relationships with the broader coaching staff are irrelevant to a player when weighing up a decision like this.

100%. The reason Fifita is able to exit his current contract is because of the Holbrook clause. Doesn’t take a genius to work out that they’re close.

David Fifita has T-minus 8 hours and 48 minutes to comply with our standing orders.

I like that it's gone quiet the last 24-48 hours. This has been the club's MO the past few years - shut up and get the job done. Fingers crossed

I think it can't be announced till tomorrow right? He's not a free agent until he refuses to take up his additional two years at Gold Coast.

Might be mistaken obv.

Then just what exactly are we meant to do with the rest of the day?

 

[MrBlack]

Confirmed - he has informed Titans he is leaving....

We just dont know where he is going, for now

 

[Panther Pete]

I am concerned we will miss out on getting him because the other interested team is the Roosters. Can anyone name a player they have wanted but missed out on signing?

My understanding was that while the deadline was start of Rd 10, he could tell them anytime before that...sound like the Titans have now been advised.

They wanted to retain Latrell...

Yeah but we have the best halfback in the world and the best systems in place to take him to the next level.

At worst we are 50% chance

Didn't get their way, bit turned out well for them anyway.

They only have a beach that is overrated, polluted and full of tourists that's like the GC, we have everything else.
