Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3294842, member: 9853"] I don't think so. He's only acknowledging they're contractually obligated to see out their deal, and that it's in the club's best interests to get value back on it by playing him. Ikin's comments are careful and guarded. From afar, it looks to me like Kevvie's earmarked him as a destabilizing influence or someone who's too hard to bring into the fold. Whether that's aligning himself to the playbook, or around the squad, it's too hard to say because Tevita can certainly bat his eyelashes and play the game with the media. No idea whether he was prematurely scouting for other clubs. Tevita says not. The Broncos say not. But the smoke is thick on that one, and the club is now openly flogging him for a subsidy. That Payne wants him to stay, and the Broncos want to please Payne, makes it look like Tevita wants to stay and is being pushed out due to them either needing the money, or not wanting him around the other players. Again, no idea, but that says to me the club sees Tevita as a bad influence on Payne. That they don't want the pair of them forming a stubborn clique. While Tevita has been one of our best this season, it's been a season in which we've lacked cohesion, and slid to the bottom of the table. Despite his flashes of brilliance, he hasn't been winning us games. Unlike the immediate transformation we saw with Staggs, Gamble, Robati and Kelly. Again this is all pure speculation, but the message the club has been sending is it wants to attract players of a certain character, and it wants to get rid of Tevita. Reading between the lines this appears to be a comment on Tevita's character. Which is a shame because he's a fan favourite. [/QUOTE]
