Fifita likely to reject Roosters and Vermin to stay with Sharks

[roosterproud]

While the Bulldogs welcomed Fifita's decision as a "triumph", Sydney Roosters chairman Nick Politis refuted the claim his club had offered Fifita a deal - let alone the one worth $900,000 a season.

"Whoever said that is a liar," Politis told Fairfax Media on Tuesday night. "There was no offer made to him by us at any time. We showed some interest but when we became aware of the amount of money that was being thrown around we did not even make an offer.

"Good luck to Andrew Fifita, he's a good player and whoever gets him, I say, good luck to them."

so I wonder what the Fairfax reporters nik is on the chookpen

I wouldn't pay any prop more than 600k in today's cap. And that's Jared or James Graham type money.

I'm also stunned they can afford to pay Fifita 850k and Lichaa 300k when hr hasn't even played first grade. This is on top of 600k for T-Rex and 350k for Klemmer.

Nothing dodgy going on there!

Not one for spreading rumours....but word on the street is that Kasiano is being shopped around to the extent he may have played his last game for the Dogs. Also, Tolman has become the latest target for souffs, and the Dogs will probably release him.

Fat Kassi for the Chooks.

No thanks, Robbo values defensive duties too much for that to ever happen imo.

I think there are not that many fat Kassi's so we should covet them.

With ya there. He looks, and moves like a supermarket bouncer.

...and only plays 10-15 games a season.

Too injury prone is Dogzilla.
