David Fifita is a Titan

[betcats]

And he'll be 27 so it'll likely be his one and only chance for a "life changing deal". Wouldn't blame him at all for taking the highest offer on the table.

Someone will throw him a 4yr 3.5m or so deal. Hopefully that's Penrith.

Yeah I think if we can get close to his biggest offer he will show a bit of loyalty, but he’s got a brother in a wheel chair and probably is supporting his family back in Fiji to some degree financially so he’s not going to leave money on the table if penrith get blown away by bigger offers. But we don’t have to worry until next November, plenty of time for us to plan to free up the money we will need for him.

 

[Tenacious Titans]

A good, proven 9 should be our next priority. Happy with our 7, 1 can be covered by AJ/Thompson for now, and I doubt Ash is going anywhere till his contract is up so we'll have to persist with him for another couple of years. If it were up to me, I'd be giving Tanah Boyd a shot at 6 since 6/7 is where he played through the younger grades, but coach will never drop Taylor.

 

[_Johnsy]

Not really. Early Taumalolo was the exact same type of player as Fifita, and probably showed a lot more at an early stage than fifita. It wasn't sustainable, so Taumololo was modelled into the perfect middle forward.

Fifita ain't anything new, we get rampaging young second rowers almost every year.

I get what you’re saying, but none of them have his size and speed, he has it over 5m, 10m up to 30m. He has burned many a back over that distance. Not one of the backrower you mention would keep up with him over 30m. I think he’s worth the risk from a Titans point of view.

smith to the titans aswell perhaps

Which Smith are you referring too? Brandon Smith?

 

[Tweed Titan]

If Cartwright retires or gets an early release I’ll cry tears of joy. No one cares that you’ve got dodgy knees because you’re useless. And you’re letting your teammates down by not retiring. Better collect that last big payday though. What was our medical team doing when he had a physical before signing?

Yeah on a serious note, I have heard that cam and Barb have bought a house on the GC and enrolled their kids at school there for next year.

 

[davi]

Wow, all of the Titans’ Christmases are coming at once.

Peachey next to ask for an early release surely.

Ash Taylor will stay til the money dries up.

Tyrone Peachy is not as bad as Bryce Cartwright and Shannon Boyd. I think the Titans could handle Peachy staying for another year. Espcially with the Titans team next year is going to be very young if Proctor is not resigned. Doesn't mean they will rush to sign him when he comes off contract though.

Ash Taylor has shown glimpes and next year will be good a gage whether he's their half long-term or not. I have heard calls for him to be dropped. The truth is there is not many better options for the Titans if they don't select Taylor in the side anyway.

 

[ayatollah_murdoch]

The news keeps getting better for the tits - Cartwright wants out.

 

[THE CHAMP]

We released Asu Kepoa to the Tigers so we have the cap space now.

Hopefully the Panthers will be willing to releasing him as soon as Monday.

They're top of the table where as we are 5th so it'd make the competition more even which is what everyone wants.

Played like a mark waugh cover drive.

For the youngsters about here it was beautiful

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Sure...but those contracts will have to be honoured.

Yeah like in 2020.. contract means shit if clubs and NRL can't afford it

A court of law might find that it means more than that.

It’s always sort of seemed like Smith has borne a grudge against the broncos for not giving him a shot as a young player.

Wouldn’t it be the ultimate “f**k you” to the broncos if he joined the titans and made them the premier club in SE Qld.

And Smith seems like the sort of bloke who would take great joy in sticking it up the Broncos.

It's his only redeeming quality.

Sort of seemed?

I guess helping someone out of a Bali jail doesn’t get you very far these days....

Yeah he was on the Matt Johns podcast saying Broncos always brushed him and would hand our gear to junior players but he'd get nothing. Way to go motivating him Broncos.

Its a fire sale, everyone must go (not AJ Brimson)

If it was true, the Titans management would absolutely race to get him off their books.
