It does have a Cory Norman smell about it.
Yes - the smell of his fingers, because it's a $hit idea. Gold Coast gets more value from Brett Fermor than Fifita. For the 15 minutes a game that he is on, he's an unstoppable force. The rest of the time, he's an immovable object. Where are we finding this money from, anyway? It's all talk and I'll believe it when I see it.
Fermor would be a great signing but he comiited to the Titans.
I said the same thing after reading his stats and bio. Once this great club used to be able to lure the very best. Now we can only lure the mediocre.
A decent coach may tho. Spoilt by the big coin. His ability is still there just has lay dormant since his Junior Kangaroo days. Only needs the correct approach to return it to the surface.
He might need a coach like Todd Payten to be a better and fitter player. NRL360 reported that Payten not signed for 2023 at the Cowboys. Can we speculate anything from this?
True, although in those 15 minutes the game will likely be won.
Nuh. Cowboys aren't stupid. They'll have Payten signed up as soon as the season's over. I doubt our club management even know where Townsville is.
Wrong
David Fifita is just the edge player we need. If, along with our other squad members, he can be very fit for season 2023, I think you'll find he will be a game changer for us. I'm thinking 60 min per game rather than 15 min per game.
Sorry guys. I should have done a bit more checking than rely on some other source.

Great post‘JUST WAIT TWELVE MONTHS’
It’s interesting St George Illawarra chairman Craig Young has taken a much greater hands on role in the space of recruitment and retention for the Dragons.
Young has become heavily involved around the Red V negotiations with captain Ben Hunt and out-of-favour fullback Tyrell Sloan in the last fortnight.
Both players have held meetings with the retired champion forward who is now seen as the figurehead of the Dragons in a bid to resolve their futures.
Sloan certainly hasn’t held back about his opinion on being left out of the NRL side in meetings with Young and also coach Anthony Griffin.
St George Illawarra remain adamant they won’t be releasing Sloan and have asked the local junior to be patient in terms of his development as a player.
We’ve been told the Dragons told Sloan: “Just wait 12 months”.

Read into that what you will but it’s no secret coach Griffin needs a fast start to next season to ensure his own job security.
Sloan is signed with the Dragons until the end of 2025 and has strong support at the Red V as being a huge part of the future of the club.
The St George Illawarra extension for Hunt appears to be on target with the only hitch being whether they include a clause in the contract surrounding Dragons coach Anthony Griffin.
The question has been asked from the Hunt camp but it’s unlikely St George Illawarra will want to go down that road.
Hunt is Griffin’s staunchest ally and it’s all tracking towards the Dragons halfback signing a two-year extension with St George Illawarra for 2024 and 2025.
By that stage Hunt will be turning 35 in March in the final year of the deal.
In fairness, given Hunt’s level of professionalism there’s no reason the champion halfback couldn’t kick on even longer.
The move to get Young more hands on is a smart play from the Dragons.
The champion prop bleeds red and white after winning premierships with the Dragons in 1977 and 1979 and will always put the best interests of the club first.
Absolute disaster if fat Albert is involved‘JUST WAIT TWELVE MONTHS’
