Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3108195, member: 9326"] Maybe too many of the people on here live in Brisbane? How else can you explain people being honestly that out of touch with how the NRL and particularly the Sydney media in general actually works? The NRL is just about the most reactionary organisation on the planet and they love having their agenda dictated by the media outrage of the day. If he walks off that plane in Brisbane with a new Broncos contract in hand, the NRL HQ would literally implode. The Broncos have been at this for over 30 years, they know full well what happens when they secure a player everyone else wanted, and when it also involves a questionable situation in Bali as the catalyst, the Sydney media just will not let that one go and we'll have them all over us for the next 12 months at least about it. Far, far better for both player and club to play down the Bali involvement and let as much dust settle as possible before announcing anything. As others have said, this will be a substantial contract and will take time to iron out the details, so there really is no rush given there are basically 9 months to go on his current deal. Let the off season end, the footy will start back up again, and the off season controversy will be largely forgotten as the next mid season controversy or NRL balls up hits the papers, and then we'll have a far, far better time to announce any sort of new deal for Fifita.
