Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and David Fifita will be Titans long-term, with the two Titans stars re-affirming their commitment to the Gold Coast club. Fifita will call the Coast home until the end of 2026, while Fa’asuamaleaui has inked a contract extension that will see him be a Titan for the next decade.

Titans CEO Steve Mitchell says having both players committed long-term is a huge show of faith in what the club is building. “We’re thrilled that both Tino and David have re-affirmed their commitment to the club.” Mitchell said.

“These are two great young men, talented footballers and important players for us as we work towards our goal of bringing premierships to the Coast. “Both Tino and David have already made an impact in their time here and as a club, we’re excited to see what they can achieve in our jersey over the coming years.

“The impact that Tino has had within our community is immeasurable. “Kids in our region already aspire to be like Tino and having him committed for the next decade is a huge boost for our fans and members. “Our purpose as a club is to make our communities proud, inspire them with energy and unite them through success. “Tino and David and their families believe in our purpose and I’m excited to see them bring it to life under Des Hasler in 2024.”

Gee.............. it's not like mercenaries have ever lost their motivation before once they've locked in their long term payday.

**** mannnnnnn, that gives haas so much leverage

Reported Tino’s deal is $12m over 10yrs, so 1.2m a year.
Fifi $4m over 3yrs, so 1.33m a year. Crazy numbers if true.
Payne will now want 1.3-1.5m a year from us. And probably 10yrs.

Courier mail reported Fifita 3m/3 years. Where'd you get the 4m figure from?

Some clubs just never learn, do they?

Yeah it's not good for us. Titans are inflating the market with that contract. Tino is good but he's absolutely not 12m/10 years good.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

1.2 will probably be pretty common in ten years. It’s just a matter of whether the player is going to be ok in ten years.

 

[Foordy]

I can't think of any players i would sign for a 10 year contract

 

[Waynesaurus]

I guess they both decided dollars trump premierships.

 

[Organix]

Haas will now want 2 million a year.

This is probably why Haas is making his moves. He would definitely have been chatting with those boys about this stuff.

FMD 12M is a massive risk for the club

wouldn't be the first time the Titans have done that

Titans doing Titans things.

Retaining Haas just became a tad more important
