NRL: Brent Read joins the NRL 360 panel and believes that David Fifita's Penrith panthers signing is imminent.
Dane Gagai is weighing up a two-year deal with the Sydney Roosters up against a one-year extension with the Knights with the potential option for a second.
“They see Dane as a really good, experienced centre. Obviously world class on his day as far as rep footy is concerned.“They see him dropping into that system and playing a role in developing their next generation backline players coming through. The 33-year-old has scored 79 tries in 276 games for the Broncos, Rabbitohs and Knights to go with 12 tries in 22 Origins for Queensland and four tries in seven Tests for Australia.Parramatta have a fight on their hands to keep rising star Blaize Talagi with the talented backline star deciding to test his value on the open market.The 19-year-old is now a free agent and is able to receive offers from rival clubs.
Gutherson is out for five weeks after knee surgery, giving Talagi a chance to drive up his asking price be it at the Eels or at a rival club. The Panthers are locked in a bidding war with the Roosters for Fifita’s signature, which could have big repercussions for former Origin star Angus Crichton.Brent Read explained the Panthers will make a play for Crichton if they miss out on Fifita and potentially visa versa.
“I’m sure the Gold Coast will have a look at him if Dave leaves the Gold Coast and I think there will be a handful of other clubs.”Dave Riccio believes Fifita’s decision could spark a domino effect across the transfer market.
