Phil Rothfield believes a failed bid for Gold Coast forward David Fifita speaks volumes to the biggest problem at Canberra as the spotlight turned to the nation’s capital on Monday night.
Speaking on NRL 360 in the wake of the Raiders’ humiliating collapse against the Panthers, Rothfield argued that issues with recruitment will continue to hold Ricky Stuart’s side back.
The Daily Telegraph columnist also claimed the latest defeat was a “bad sign” after star five-eighth Jack Wighton revealed his desire to test himself on the open market earlier in the week.
