When you look at those sides that Brisbane had through their golden eras and Wayne Bennett’s mantra was that players stayed there for less because they wanted to be part of the Broncos and to stay to be part of a successful club. The fact that David Fifita and someone of his quality doesn’t believe he can achieve his best football at Brisbane is an alarming concern for the coach.” [B][I]James Hooper: [/I][/B] “For the Broncos, just when you think things couldn’t sink any lower it becomes even more toxic. For them to lose a player of this talent and to be in the fight and telling people behind the scenes that they were never going to lose him. For them to sign players like Matt Lodge, Payne Haas, Tevita Pangai Jr and Joe Ofahengaue all in front of this young man (Fifita) and then see him slip through their fingers, I can’t think of a more challenging time in the history of this proud club. It is their lowest ebb.” [B][I]Darren Lockyer:[/I][/B] “When everyone’s struggling in the place and you’re not winning football games, there’s no enjoyment factor there and then what happens is people start making excuses around the place. When you’re losing it’s not fun and I’m sure that would have played its part. There was a lot of different things at play. There were management issues, there was family, you had three or four people from the Titans talking to David and probably the same from the Broncos and at one time Souths were in there.” [B][I]Phil Gould:[/I][/B] “From David Fifita’s perspective, I don’t know whether it’s a great career move, but it’s very hard for anyone to knock back that sort of money. I think the money is irresponsible. I’ve quite often said that the money in the market is set by the desperate clubs and obviously the Titans are desperate for a marquee player. If it improves their membership, commercial operations and crowds they get in attendance, I suppose they’ll say the money is justified. But from the game’s perspective he’s not worth that amount of money at this stage of his career, in fact I don’t think any back-rower is.” [I][B]Anthony Seibold:[/B][/I] [ATTACH type="full" alt="EcrXKMVU4AA6O0a.jpg"]8999[/ATTACH] McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
