Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3151248, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]The usual suspects claim the reason Fifita "[/I][B]really quit the Broncos[/B][I]" isn't just because he was "[/I]facing a $1 million sacrifice over three years to remain loyal[I]" but because of the "[/I]hammer-blow to player morale at the Broncos and the fear he will not improve as a player under the coaching of [B]Seibold[/B][I]." That he's aware of "[/I]internal ructions with a number of players unhappy in Brisbane’s current environment, their morale taking another hit against the Storm, which represented their eighth loss in nine games[I]." They say several players are "[/I][B]struggling with Seibold’s coaching style[/B][I]" and that Fifita chose Holbrook over Seibold for "[/I]better mentoring[I]." [B]Michael Ennis[/B] says:[/I] “It’s an enormous blow for the Broncos. I can’t remember a player of that significance leaving the Brisbane Broncos and to go to their little brother is a real kick in the teeth for where Brisbane is at at the moment. You look at the forward pack the Titans are going to have next year and all of a sudden young halfbacks are going to want to go there, quality dummy halves will want to go there and outside backs.” [I][B]Paul White[/B], whose wife put on fancy dinners for [B]David and Gwen[/B]:[/I] "There has been significant interest in David from a number of other NRL clubs and a range of sizeable contract offers for David to consider. We have been in ongoing discussions, across more than 20 meetings, as we sought to find a way to keep David at the Broncos, where he has played some fantastic football in recent years. At the same time we wanted to ensure we did not go beyond what was responsible for the good of the club and playing list as a whole." “At the end of the day it was a really tough decision for a young man to make and we respect the choice that David has made. It’s disappointing to see David depart but we look forward to him returning to the field to finish out the season with the Broncos. The Broncos are now in a strong position to look to the future to pursue other player recruitment opportunities.” McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
