David Fifita's shock backflip from the Roosters has sent shockwaves through the rugby league world, with many calling it a "slap in the face" to the club.
The news of Fifita's $3.3 million deal with the Roosters falling through has left many in disbelief, with some accusing him of "taking the p**s".
After a week of speculation and circus-like drama surrounding Fifita's contract clause, which allowed him to explore other options if he didn't activate a player option by the start of round 10, the 24-year-old shocked everyone by announcing his decision to sign with the Roosters.
However, just five days later, it was revealed that Fifita had sudden second thoughts and informed Roosters boss Nick Politis of his change of heart late on a Tuesday night.
By Wednesday morning, the Roosters had already rescinded their offer to Fifita, leaving many fans and pundits scratching their heads at the turn of events.
This sudden twist in the tale has left many in disbelief and has become a talking point in rugby league circles, with some questioning Fifita's loyalty and commitment to the club.
