David Fifita

[Kelby]

Now there’s a good footy player, but I think we’re OK for back row stocks at the moment. We need to target a gun centre and fullback and throw the chequebook at them.

Who?

[mightyrooster]

The ABC radio news said he wants to move to Sydney. That may not mean the Roosters will get him, but it's open for interpretation. Alternatively, it's just another example of the ABC thinking that everything happens within a 5km radius of their Ultimo headquarters. You'd think with the recent move to Parramatta, they'd know that Penrith is even further west.

It could also be true, ie: Fifita wants to live in Sydney but play for Penrith.

I know what you mean, in Canberra the government and media only really care about the City, Belco and inner south. It’s like Tuggeranong doesn’t exist. I read the info about Fifuta’s partner on the Foxtel web site not the ABC. But I have no idea of how true it is.

Dom Young Signed with the Knights when 18 after 1 SL game and was not approached by the Roosters back then

Luke Thompson expressed an interest to play for the Roosters which was not reciprocated.

I believe I read somewhere that we approached Young when we went over for the World Club Challenge. I thought Thompson was also a target & there was another club that also chased him before he chose the Dogs, but might be wrong on that as most is garbage considering we get linked to everyone.

[Rooster_6]

No idea why we didn’t chase Lomax ? Forwards we have Centres we don’t

Because he’s not an 800k centre.

Fifita needs to chose correctly.

It's the metrosexual life of Bondi Junction, close to the third best beach in Sydney (Maroubra first, Coogee second) versus a genetic sink with cold wind blasting off the mountains, where one of the major past times is counting teeth.

It's Cocaine vs Meth, Bacardi Breezers vs goon bags, the pugnacious chins of the Cleary's vs the noble brows of Sam Walker and Trent Robinson.

I think the way to punish illegal arrivals is to tell them they have to live in Penrith. I'd cop being bombed by the IDF (using American bombs) rather than live in the post apocalyptic shithole that Penrith wishes it was.

Make the smart choice David.

[FlamingRooster]

We got him

The Sydney Roosters have pulled off a major signing coup, beating Penrith to the services of David Fifita on a deal worth $3.3 million over four years.

[Spirit of 66]

Yeah yeah. But we missed Gagai. All this talk of the Roosters always getting their man is therefore nonsense.

P.S. Yippee!

[Rooster36]

Let's get real, Fifita wants to win premierships...so why would he want to join our rabble which will struggle to make the top 8 from 2025 onwards.

Panthers plays for premierships...welcome to the panthers David.

lol

[milanja]

If nothing else, the reaction from Tallis should be priceless

[milanja]

Wonder what this means for Angus? The butcher bros are signed til 26 and 27, sitili is signed til 27.

LOL Probably your best

[chicka]

Didn't think he was coming but you can't underestimate Nick and Robbo!

I am just happy Penrith did not get him. That might just shift the balance back a little which we needed.

Over to Robbo and Holbrook now to unleash him. At his best and playing consistent, he will win us games which makes up for losing Manu

[ism22]

I can reveal that it was my limoncello and witty humour that got him over the line.
