The Sydney Roosters have signed wantaway Titans forward David Fifita, pipping three-time defending champions the Penrith Panthers for his signature.

Fifita activated a contract clause to leave the 16th ranked Titans, after he signed a three-year deal just last year, although the final two years of his deal were under a player option.

After an inauspicious start to Des Hasler’s tenure as coach of the club, Fifita has decided to leave.

But in one last curveball, Fifita has reportedly signed a four-year $3.3 million deal to join the Roosters, despite the Panthers appearing in the box seat all week.

The Panthers had reportedly tabled an offer of around $850,000 a year for three seasons, while the Roosters deal will come in slightly below that.

He’s currently on $1m a season at the Titans.
