Les Roosters entrent dans la danse pour David Fifita, les Titans lui offrent un pont d’or

Selon plusieurs sources en Australie, les Sydney Roosters seraient entrés dans la danse pour faire signer David Fifita en fin de contrat avec les Broncos cette saison.

Pourtant bien armés en deuxième ligne avec Boyd Cordner et Angus Crichton, les Roosters se pencheraient sur le cas de la nouvelle star du XIII australien David Fifita. Le problème pour les Roosters serait la volonté de la famille Fifita à ne pas quitter le Queensland et s’il venait à signer il pourrait déménager seul à Sydney. Dans le même temps, les Titans lui auraient préparé la plus grosse offre de l’histoire du club, pour un montant total de 5 millions de dollars sur 5 ans. Les Broncos n’ont évidemment pas dit leur dernier mot et comptent bien le prolonger mais pour le moment le joueur est en conflit avec son agent et se laisse le temps de réfléchir avant de se décider.

The Sydney Roosters are targeting the signature of Queensland Maroons forward David Fifita, who is yet to sign a deal past 2020, according to WWOS. ___ The Mole reports Fifita is in no rush to re-sign with the Broncos, as he is currently in dispute with his management. ___ Personally, I don't see this signing going ahead. The Broncos may have other talent off-contract, but I am certain Fifita would be their utmost priority. ___ Further, his family has said he does not want to leave south East Queensland, let alone move to Sydney in New South Wales. The only other club that fits that bill is the Titans, which we will get into below. ___ That's only my two cents worth & it certainly doesn't add up to The Mole's decades of experience. ___ The Roosters certainly do have a proven track record of landing star players. ___ Interestingly enough The Daily Telegraph reports the Gold Coast Titans have tabled a five-year $5 million dollar deal the same day. ___ The Titans are also reportedly prepared to offer Fifita a ten-year deal if that's what it takes to secure him. ___ Australian coach Mal Meninga has reportedly been in contact with Fifita whilst he recovers from knee surgery. ___ The Broncos can not afford to pay Fifita more than $700,000 per season, according to that report also. ___ I'll continue to keep you updated, but it appears the Broncos may struggle to retain him after all.
