OFFICIAL Titans get their man with Fifita signing three-year deal

[Foordy]

Broncos lowballed him because they had no more money. Then they tried to do a one year deal and we will pay you more after that year. They have then tried to get rid of all these players on the roster to offer more money but couldn't get any takers. They they upped there offer on a three year deal.

People have been talking about Fifita getting a million for a long time. Broncos management screwed it thinking the worst club in the league can keep a player on unders. Now we can go and reup Milford, Bird, Oates, Kahu, Lodge, Offa.

they wouldn't pay offers for him.

damn near every league commentator (with the exception of the Raging fool) have said that it is a ridiculous offer from the Titans ...

In that case, Milford just wanted to come home. The Raiders offered him more to stay and they came close to signing him but the Broncos eventually got their man.

This is Greg Inglis all over again.

I think it is obvious the NRL secretly gave Inglis undisclosed bonuses to get him to "the pride of the league".

Their roster is decent for 2021, but they're not making the top 8 with that 6, 7, 9 combination.

Looks like a solid 9-12 roster to me. That spine is Bulldogs level bad, probably worse. They might sneak into the eight and get beaten week one if they're lucky.

Mean while Raiders just signed Ryan James on 400k for 2 years. An injury risk but on a low salary he’s exactly the kind of experienced head we could use to help rebuild our poorly balanced team.

 

[Dazza 92]

Haas has been there the last several weeks when they have been getting flogged and you want to upgrade him and build a team around him? If he has got three years left on his current deal it would be nuts to upgrade him.

you want a repeat of Fifita then....let it run until his last year......how did that work out....

We could still be very shit by then believe me.....a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush...

Resign Haas now..!

got a lot of time for James...but he is a incredible injury risk....

But if that contract amount is correct....probably worth the roll of the dice for Raiders..

But...you know, they cant blame anyone if he only plays 10 times during that contract either...

it dumbfounds me that any one here suggests we should of matched the titans offer. that sort of money is insane for a player in that position. it will not win the titans a premiership. broncos offer was more then reasonable imo.

i admit i to am upset over the management of this club over the last few years but in this case i think any one with half a brain would say broncos have done the right thin.

i want the broncos to get back to being roosters ,storm ,raiders esk and you do not see these teams offering insane amounts of money to backrowers. (roosters may be different but they dont operate under the same salary cap)

i wish u all the best david but if history is anything to go by this wont end well for you (see hunt and tayler for other players who were offered overs)

The Broncos need a good defensive player, not a penalty magnet.

James is a better fit for Canberra. He's looking to the Raiders to make him a better player, where as the Broncos would be looking at James to make them a better team.

Every time a Broncos player is off contract there are crazy numbers thrown around and guess what?
Titans payed crazy money for him.

[The titans will finish above us next year

They're above us now with a game yet to play. Look at our differential, though. That has to be an all time low for us.

 

[Allo]

Send him there now

 

[JungleBoogie]

Every time a Broncos player is off contract there are retarded numbers thrown around and guess what?
Titans payed retarded money for him.

Angus Crichton got payed 2.7m over 3 years from the best team in the comp - the roosters.

What we don't know is what Fifita would have taken from the Broncos. Maybe he wouldve stayed with an atleast competitive offer. Unfortunately we were so far away from the market pricing due to our cap management we will never know.

Fifita would be thinking everyone is calling me a star, going to be the best back rower in the game, unstoppable strike weapon and the titans now show me they believe that and the broncos have signed all these pathetic players before focusing on me.

Defend this pathetic organisation if you want but they have driven this team into the ground and when you look at the roster and our juniors I don't see us coming out of it soon.

 

[jd87]

so funnny watching mal meninga on fox try to justify the price tag they have offered him you can tell not even he believed the shit he was saying. the awkwardness of the whole fox team was odd afterwards cause they didnt know what to say

Decent starting line up, which they’ll need to be, as that bench is absolute dirt.

Also, good to see Titans have learnt from the Hayne, SBoyd and Taylor signings.

1 player, without the name Lockyer, Thurston or Smith, is not going to drag your team across the line more than once every now and then.

Yeah I know, so people can’t really be saying I can’t believe he went there when they’re actually a more attractive proposition than we are.

 

[Painin the Haas]

The thing is you can’t replace him and that is what hurts most, you can swap Glenn for Jackson, you could swap graham for matterson, sims for kaufusi etc. but there is no replacement for Fifita

 

[Foordy]

Yeah I know, so people can’t really be saying I can’t believe he went there when they’re actually a more attractive proposition than we are.

lets see how they would have gone if they didn't offer Fifita the contract they did ... they're not a more attractive proposition than we are. they are only getting these players by offering ridiculous money

Can you go there then??
