But it appears the premiership-winning prop's fortunes could soon change with the Dragons reportedly interested in luring the 31-year-old to the Red V.<\/p>\n
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Dragons are closely monitoring the situation with Fifita at Cronulla.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fifita was also spotted talking to Dragons coach Anthony Griffin for some time before a NSW Cup game a fortnight ago.<\/p>\n
The 2016 premiership-winner has an existing relationship with Griffin, stretching back to their time together with the Tongan national team.<\/p>\n
The Australian's Brent Read also claimed Griffin was keeping close tabs on Fifita's situation.<\/p>\n
"The Dragons are keeping a watching brief on Andrew Fifita," Read told Fox Sports' NRL 360.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"He's got a relationship with Anthony Griffin. He coached him at Tonga. They caught up a couple of weeks ago when Andrew played for Newtown. The Dragons have got interest there."<\/p>\n
Fifita has struggled to rediscover his best form in recent years after a series of knee and mobility issues.<\/p>\n
He recently stipped off over 20-kilos in the off-season in a bid to revitalise his career.<\/p>\n
