Gold Coast NRL league coach Des Hasler doesn't feel personally slighted by David Fifita's decision to leave the Titans to move to Sydney next season

Fifita has officially confirmed he won't activate the final two years of his contract on the GC.

Hasler has rejected suggestions the wrecking-ball forward is abandoning ship...saying although it's disappointing, player movement is part of the game, part of the theatre...and stars come and go all the time on the football merry-go-round.

Penrith remains the front-runner to sign the Queensland State of Origin representative, with the Sydney Roosters also in the running.
