Both teams were happy with the outcome at Aussie Stadium after the Roosters overcame the loss of Fittler in the fourth minute with a shoulder injury to run Souths down in the second half.

 FANATICS :: Home of the Australian sports fan since 1997 :: Sports News :: Roosters reopen talks with Fittler
By Brent Read and Darren Walton 23/06/2003 09:00:43 PM The Sydney Roosters will reopen talks with Brad Fittler this week in an attempt to settle a contract impasse with their current captain and ward off predatory approaches from English Super League clubs.
Fittler has already been linked with a move to England, although his manager Wayne Beavis said he had received no approaches from English clubs.
Wigan, the club most likely to chase Fittler, has bowed out of the race while Super League leader Leeds said it would not be approaching the 31-year-old "at this stage".
