Fifita has a player option for 2025 to remain on the Gold Coast and has until Thursday to make a decision on his future at the clubs.<\/p>\n

The news of the Roosters' pursuit comes after Penrith offered an $850,000 per year deal across three seasons for Fifita.<\/p>\n

St George Illawarra<\/a> is also expected to meet with Fifita this week. \ufeff<\/p>\n

The hulking forward, who has scored 47 tries in 112 first grade appearances, is on a sizeable contract at the Titans and would free up plenty of salary cap space if a move to Sydney comes to fruition.<\/p>\n

Fifita is regarded as one of the most talented forwards in the NRL, but has yet to find a consistent level of football on the Gold Coast since moving to the club \ufeffin 2021.<\/p>\n

Des Hasler<\/a>'s men have won just one game this season, including a narrow loss to Melbourne in round nine, with Fifita missing the start of the year due to injury. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
