The Titans have made their final pitch to David Fifita, with coach Justin Holbrook declaring Gold Coast can help the ex-Maroons star rediscover the form that made him the NRL’s most destructive player.

Fifita is on the verge of deciding his future beyond 2023, with judgment day looming in the battle between the Titans and Raiders for the wrecking ball’s signature.

Both clubs have made Fifita attractive multi-year offers worth more than $800,000-a-season, a haircut from his current $1 million-plus salary but still top dollar for an edge backrower.

While Jack Wighton shouldn't miss any NRL games for his late-night wrestle with cousin Latrell Mitchell, Matt Frawley knows he needs to be ready to go at any time during the season.

Five-eighth Frawley will partner Brad Schneider in the halves in the Canberra Raiders' pre-season trial against the Canterbury Bulldogs at Moruya on Sunday.

The 28-year-old played eight NRL games last year, covering both Wighton and halfback Jamal Fogarty.
