David Fifita

[Rob 351]

According to Buzz he’s already said no to the Dragons as he wants to win a comp.
Roosters have now tabled an offer!

That was always going to happen. I think we tried to get him when his gf was still with us too. At what point do we need an investigation into the running and viability of our club?

For a good comparison, even the Tigers are getting sought after players across but we put every other player off - Hynes, Fifita, AFB just a few that wouldn't go near us even with more money.

I guarantee when the board/CEO finally speak out they will say we won SG Ball and our junior prospects is where we are putting our trust. That's the usual condescending stuff they come up with to save face. So much cap and we will struggle to spend half of it.

I wonder what the "Man of Feathers" thinks about all of this!? So much for being a level playing field, being of Greek heritage, he's probably very close to, you know who.

Roosters will offer $850k per season.
Plus cars channeled through for the family
Plus a post career media gig
Plus a nominal employment for a few years post football career
Plus a city apartment channeled through a family trust
Plus undisclosed cash payments annually
Think we all know where he will be going

 

[Phantom V]

We have a Qld Origen rep… we should put him to work getting on the phone to Fifita, invite him to dinner… something?

I agree. Flanno needs to get that baked dinner recipe off Mrs Arthurs

You could have saved yourself all that typing.

It's called doing the Politis.

We may have a chance at Andrew Fifita now with the right $$ and call from Benny Hunt.

If your motivation was to win a premiership and not the quid, where would go?
Penwiff or us?

I’d start adding Yorkshire Pudding; we’re more chance of getting someone over there than a top liner over here!

I’m sure the resident Flanno hating lunatic will find a way of spinning your common sense into another Flanno bashing rant. CLEARLY FLANNO’S FAULT AGAIN!!

Very true . However, where would you rather live? Penrith or the Gong? That is a huge part of this decision that’s why I reckon Chooks are no chance. From what I’ve heard from “others” he is making a grown ups decision this time based on a lot of factors not just money . We are a huge chance

 

[justadragon]

Why is it that the whole world knows that we are making him an offer yet Panthers met in secret on Sunday? We will probably be embarrassed again.

Somehow Nana i would like to think it could be his manager leaking the news to bump up his price. Dragons used as a lure once again.

Not sure we can go close to the rooster offer not sure we should .Offer on table take it or leave it

 

[justadragon]

Do we really need another QLD mercenary who may deliver us nothing, dont let our juniors go thats the secret !!!

 

[Desperate Dragon]

The thing is nobody has mentioned Hasler may well talk him into staying at the GC.
Maybe not such an unrealistic option for all we know.

 

[hewi]

Sydney Roosters have tabled a massive $3.4m offer over four years for Gold Coast powerhouse David Fifita.
It is understood the Roosters formalised the offer on Monday afternoon.
The development comes as Penrith lodged a similar $850,000 a season offer for Fifita.
With a $4m war chest, the Roosters have cash to throw at Fifita while also believing they can re-sign in-form back-rower Angus Crichton.
The Roosters have more room to move in their salary cap than any rivals.
Fifita has told friends he wants to win a premiership and now has two of rugby league’s most powerful clubs pursuing him.
Gold Coast continues to work desperately hard to retain Fifita.

 

[hewi]

From the Australian

St George Illawarra also have an interest in Fifita and coach Shane Flanagan was keen to speak to him this week, but it is understood he is unlikely to join the Dragons.

You wouldn't need to be Einstein to figure that out.

I don't think DF is the guy we need. That is all I want to say about him, thanks.

 

[Staunch Saint]

He will not sign with the Dragons , he has ruled them out , he is prepared to sign for less money and go with either Panthers or Roosters, which tells u a lot about how the Dragons are seen. Embrassing, Flanno still thinks his in 2016 with the sharks , whatever his system is , clearly is not working
