Penrith Panthers Make Audacious Bid for Wantaway Titans Star David Fifita
The Penrith Panthers have reportedly tabled a lucrative $2.5 million deal to lure wantaway Gold Coast Titans star David Fifita to the foot of the mountains. The Panthers’ audacious bid is a clear indication of their desire to bolster their roster with one of the NRL’s most talented players.¹
Fifita, 23, has been at the center of a transfer tug-of-war, with several top-tier clubs vying for his signature. The Titans’ back-rower has expressed his desire to leave the Gold Coast, citing a need for a fresh start and a desire to win premierships.²
The Panthers’ offer is believed to be one of the richest deals in the NRL, with Fifita set to become one of the highest-paid players in the competition. The deal is reportedly a four-year contract, which would see Fifita join the Panthers from the 2025 season.³
The addition of Fifita would be a significant coup for the Panthers, who are looking to bolster their roster after a disappointing 2024 season. With Fifita on board, the Panthers would boast one of the most formidable back rows in the NRL, alongside the likes of Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai.
While the deal is yet to be finalized, the Panthers’ offer is believed to be the most attractive proposal on the table. The Titans, however, are reportedly reluctant to let Fifita go, and may yet try to persuade him to stay on the Gold Coast.
_What’s Next?_
As the transfer saga continues to unfold, fans will be eagerly awaiting official confirmation from the Panthers and Fifita’s management team. With the NRL’s November 1 signing deadline looming, it’s likely that we’ll see a resolution to this transfer saga soon.
