Fifita Gone

[ARD]

Odd Trent commented on it during presser before official, even more odd it’s fallen apart so fast.

[roosterproud]

so we swap sitilli with Taylan May with the riff. sweet swap i think. Good defence and good attack. hope theres no weight with this Ponga stuff in the media

[Noosa Rooster]

Leaves us with egg on our face regarding Angus and Sitilli if the Meda reports on those 2 are true. I presume that would make Nick and Robbo even less happy.

Didn’t we sign Fifita’s partner to the NRLW team. Wonder what will happen there - could be an awkward discussion in the relationship.

Anyway for the best if his heart wasn’t in it. Can’t see us offering anything for his next contract so remains to be seen how his manager tries to boost his price who it the usual ‘Roosters are interested’ BS.

[rented tracksuit]

Phuk yes but knowing our luck, Gus still leaves and we are left somewhat in the lurch.

[milanja]

If he’s that indecisive, we don’t want him. The real disappointment is that Tallis is going to be such a smug tw*t about it.

He did finish the rant the other night with “Watch this space”

I suppose he is in the know.

[Qld Chook]

What a disaster, no Fifta and Angus and Stili must be offside with the club

Exactly. This may have huge long term ramifications for us now. Not dissapointed he isn't coming, but now we need to do some damage control and mend some bridges with current players which is really dissapointing.

[DP1990]

Well f*ck

We move on. Priority now is to re-sign Angus !

[milanja]

Extremely happy about this. Hopefully now can get Gus sorted to stay long term. But it makes you wonder who is making the recruitment decisions because lately has been a shiteshow and extremely embarrassing

Absolutely, does Gus now actually want to stay? Or now we pay more for him than we were going to before this debacle?

sitili must feel pretty unwanted too.

[Danish]

I copped heat on here for saying I saw no outcome where signing this jackass was good. He’s a ****ing highlights reel hack who would have been a complete disaster

but hey at least we have now pisaed off Crichton and will likely lose him now too

[Steggles]

This debacle has the potential to derail our season with Gus and Sitili feeling as not being valued by the club. Cluster**** of the highest proportions.

[Teddy]

10 day cooling off period where his current club the Titans can convince him stay. Just confirmed that he will stay at the Titans

Agree with Gus Gould on this who doubted this signing as being the right fit for both the player and the club - The Roosters have a stack of forwards and Angus must be the priority to re-sign now. - Keeping Sitili as well despite his detractors.

The Roosters need outside backs - centre and utility that can play Fullback - may need to promote internally such as Ethan King who is a fullback and can play centre as well - came through the juniors with Sandon Smith , Robert Toia , Siua Wong , Hugo Savala , Tyler Moriarty , Xaviar Va's etc.


Sydney Roosters statement regarding David Fifita | Roosters

What about Pauga is he just a backup or can we see him make one of those outside back spots his? Has speed in spades, has done for the most part well covering injuries in the past? Then again is he a centre or a winger?

Ethan King I think it’s probably wise after this debacle that we do just this and promote from within.

[Steggles]

Butchers bros as the starting 2nd row next year?

[Kelby]

Well f*ck

We move on. Priority now is to re-sign Angus !

Well before his rant, I wanted him to stay as well.



But he can go and get stuffed.


Bring in Luke Garner and sign Josh Schuster to a train and trail deal.

[RoosterBooster]

Let’s not kid ourselves, while Fifta might not be the answer , to remain competitive for a premiership next year we need any X factor experienced player . With the loss of Manu, Keary potentially Angus + JWH’s leadership and two young half’s + Teddy a year older hopefully we can pull a rabbit out of the hat find someone that can help us challenge for a premiership

Hahaha. Please.
