David Fifita’s move to the Rabbitohs is reportedly set to be finalised in the coming days, triggering a transfer domino effect with three teams involved.
According to Code Sports, Fifita will make the move to South Sydney to link up with master coach Wayne Bennett, hoping to revitalise his stalling career.

The 25-year-old’s $1 million contract will reportedly be paid by both the Titans and Rabbitohs.
The Gold Coast would chip in $500,000 of his 2026 and 2027 contract.
Gold Coast powerbrokers reportedly plan to use the remaining clear cap space in their bid to re-sign Jayden Campbell, Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Cooper Bai.
Fifita previously was on the verge of making a move to Sydney with the Roosters, but he ultimately backflipped on that deal to remain with the Titans.
He is set to sign a multi-year deal with the South Sydney club after playing only eight NRL games in 2025, having slipped down the pecking order under Des Hasler.
The gun back rower also battled with injury, but has struggled to live up to his mammoth contract in recent years.
With Fifita set to land at the Redfern club, and due to the Rabbitohs’ tight top 30, Davvy Moale is set to be granted an immediate release to join the Sea Eagles.
Moale had already signed on to join Manly in 2027, but Anthony Seibold has a desire to utilise the talented middle forward next season.
With Moale arriving at Brookvale, it looms likely Nathan Brown will then make a move to the Tigers, who are looking to add experience and starch to their middle forwards.
