David Fifita spent Wednesday night with his manager Michael Hudson mulling over his future but has opted not to trigger an option in his Gold Coast deal.
Gold Coast forward David Fifita has informed the Titans that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
Instead, the Queensland State of Origin representative has chosen to head to Sydney, and is weighing up significant offers from two premiership contenders. However, the imminent departure of James Fisher-Harris to the Warriors has left a hole in their forward pack that the Panthers feel Fifita can help plug.The Roosters are cashed up due to the impending departures of Joseph Suaalii, Joseph Manu, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Luke Keary. Fifita’s decision will have a knock-on effect for Angus Crichton, who is off contract at the end of the season.
