The Penrith Panthers have fired a warning shot in a surprising move that could ignite a fierce bidding war for Titans forward David Fifita, who is currently a wanted man by three rival clubs.
Fifita's future on the Gold Coast is uncertain, with reports from news.com.au indicating that the Titans superstar is now being courted by multiple teams.
The Panthers have thrown their hat into the ring, adding fuel to a three-team race for Fifita's signature after a recent meeting in Sydney.
Known for his outstanding performances on the field, Fifita has been a standout for the Titans, despite their lowly position on the ladder.
The club is playing better football than their 16th place suggests, with Fifita's contributions not going unnoticed.
With a contract clause looming for next year, Fifita must make a decision by Thursday at 8pm, coinciding with the start of Round 10.
If he fails to activate the clause, Fifita will be free to negotiate with any team for the 2025 season and beyond.
In the world of Rugby League, it's all about making strategic moves and seizing opportunities when they arise.
The Panthers' bold move could set off a chain reaction in the competition, with the potential for a high-stakes bidding war reminiscent of classic Rugby League showdowns.
Time will tell where Fifita's allegiances lie and which team will emerge victorious in this thrilling contest.
