FIFITA WILL KEEP TITANS WAITING
The future of barnstorming edge forward David Fifita remains under a cloud at the Gold Coast Titans as rival clubs prepare to launch mid-season moves for the Maroons star.
Fifita has baulked at taking up a two-year contract option in his favour and will wait to make his decision at the round 10 deadline.
Titans coach Des Hasler was hoping to have the deal done by now, not wanting it to drag out and become a possible disruption.
Fifita has not trained with the NRL squad since undergoing surgery last December for a partial pec tear.
He is not expected to play until round 3 of the competition.
Fifita’s manager Michael Hudson says the player has given him no indication he wants to leave.
“He hasn’t asked me to look at what might be available at other clubs,” Hudson said,
“We’ll just have to wait and see how it pans out.”
