Brisbane's David Fifita has become the central character as rugby league enters its annual silly season, with the boom teenager preparing for a barrage of offers for his services following the November 1 deadline.

But the 19-year-old looks increasingly likely to remain at Red Hill with the Broncos readying to lock down one of the most gifted young forwards in the game, having already secured the services of fellow breakout star Payne Haas until the end of 2024.

Fifita is about to enter the final year of his current deal at the Broncos and has become a target around the NRL after an eye-catching season that included a State of Origin debut and a series of powerhouse performances towards the end of the year.

He was dominant at the recent World Cup 9s tournament and, given his age, the upside looks immense. Already he has drawn comparisons to Sonny Bill Williams and could well command a pay packet to match if he follows the money trail south.
