The Canberra Raiders have made a stunning move to enter a new race to sign David Fifita, tabling an upgraded deal just days after Ricky Stuart got a first-hand look what what he's trying to buy.
Fifita is back on the open market after News Corp revealed a clause in his contract opened the door for him to leave the Gold Coast Titans after the club sacked coach Justin Holbrook.
The Titans beat the Raiders in the bid for Fifita's signature in March after the barnstorming representative forward opted to stay put rather than taking a chance in Canberra.
