David Fifita has been sidelined indefinitely due to ongoing ankle issues, raising concerns about his health and future with the Gold Coast Titans.
The explosive second-rower, who was recently controversially demoted to reserve grade, has struggled to recover from off-season ankle surgery.
The club has not provided a specific timeline for his return, indicating that his condition is more serious than standard soreness.
Fifita's demotion to the Ipswich Jets surprised many, especially after reports revealed he had requested a move back to the left edge, where Beau Fermor currently plays, but faced resistance from the coaching staff.
Last weekend, he participated quietly in Hostplus Cup duties and commented cryptically to the media: "The real truth will come out one day." This situation adds another layer of complexity to what has been a tumultuous period for one of rugby league's most enigmatic forwards.
