The Rugby League world is abuzz with anticipation as David Fifita is set to announce his next move, with the Penrith Panthers rumored to be his final destination.
However, some are questioning how the powerhouse player will fit into the three-time champions' lineup.
Speculation has been rife ever since news broke that the Panthers were vying for Fifita's signature, amidst efforts by the Titans to retain the 24-year-old and interest from the Roosters.
Fifita, who made the leap from the Broncos to the Titans in 2020 on a lucrative deal, has yet to fully unleash his potential on the Gold Coast.
Last year, Fifita found himself in the headlines when coach Justin Holbrook was axed, leading to rumors that his future at the club was tied to Holbrook's.
Despite the turmoil, Fifita ultimately inked a new deal with the Titans, while his teammate Tino Fa'asuamaleaui secured a mega 10-year contract.
Now, with a clause in his contract allowing him to walk away from the Titans looming, all eyes are on Fifita as the deadline approaches.
The Rugby League community is bracing for the 'ripple effect' of Fifita's imminent decision, with the Panthers poised to potentially benefit from his game-changing presence.
As the countdown to Thursday ticks on, the sporting world eagerly awaits the next chapter in Fifita's career.
