NEWS David Fifita ‘locked in a Bali jail cell’ after alleged assault

BroncsFan said:
Exactly **** the NRL... the PR team need to spin this and kill it off.

If we overreact and sack him he signs a contract with the ***** down south as a redemption story and they pick up a generational talent.

I don't give too ***** about what the NSWRL media think if we gloss this over... time to be selfish for the Broncos for once

The only thing worse would be him signing for souths and Wayne smugly claiming that he can fix him.

Lol, that's one way to have no one to fill the top 30.

You're dealing with 50+ players who are under 30, on decent-to-big salaries, who are fit and in their primes. If you're going to sack players for this stuff you'll end up with no team to run out with on the weekend.

It's an absolute nothing incident, and using his family history as a slight on him is just a shit go. He deadset jokingly tapped a guy on the head with no malice or force. Is he a dickhead for doing that? Sure. He's a dumb drunk 19 year old who's been in the news getting his ego inflated by everyone for the last 6 months.

He'll recover from this. If he doesn't actually learn from this, that'll be the time to start discussing sacking him. You don't sack employees for a mistake.

Its only going to become an issue with him if it happens repeatedly.

He's the same contractor who was on the pokies late the same day we lost 58 nil in a knock out playoff

Same contractor playing out a bidding war in public with teams that are laughing at how shit we are.

Don't care if he's Wally Lewis. If I hear one more bad press from this guy he can **** off over to the roosters

I get what you are saying. All I'm saying is I this

Uhm, I hate to interrupt your rant here, but have the broncos even made him an offer at this stage, I don't believe we have, remember Lockyer recently saying we are in no hurry. All that is happened is the club has failed to make an offer and lock him up prior to 1 November, so maybe cool your jets a bit and think things through. It is a bit hard for him to accept an offer and sign a contract if one has not been made to him by the Broncos.

32 hours in and we have bronco's staff walking through a media circus in a lockup to help out a guy who is currently playing us off against the roosters.

**** this ..

Lodge had to work his way back the very hard way. This guy will get a pay rise , told he was hard done by ..

Wish their were more Australian parents like you. Unfortunately our culture becoming enablement and lack of responsibility. Hope he gets a fair Indonesian trial and a fair Indonesian standard penalty. Clubs are meant to be building men. Not slush funds to pay bribes.

Is this fictional contractor currently one of the best in your industry with the very real chance to be the best in your industry for the majority of his career? By retaining this fictional contractor would it give your company a far better chance of success?

With all that aside though if Fifita has any humility or sense the first thing he should be saying to the Broncos after they get him out of this is where do I sign and how long do you want me for?

Out of curiosity, were you always ok with signing Matt lodge?
 
Bali isn’t the place to be making a silly mistake if you have money and a profile. I don’t get the appeal, if you have any sort of brains and realise the potential for things to be blown out of proportion, wouldn’t you be paranoid about slipping up? That doesn’t seem very enjoyable. It’s not like they’ll blend in, there’s enough Aussies there to know they you are. So many other places to instead, staying in Australia seems better too.

That is perhaps the most valid question that has been asked really.

For years it has been viewed as a cheap destination, though it isn't as cheap as it once was.
I'm based in Perth so it's even "cheaper" than for you guys living on the eastern seaboard.
Personally I don't get the hype.
 
Coulda been worse, he coulda went to the carribean sex island & the bloke he slapped on the head was Larry Flint or even worse it coulda been his little head [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Big fan of his skill, but after giving this some thought, i say we cut him loose.
Let another team pay top dollar for him and deal with the aftermath of signing a Fifita.
The Fifita genes are 100% thug and douchery and i predict more trouble from this kid the more he gets paid.
I think if this club is going to get back on track, it needs to be at every level, no exceptions.
Cant just give a fuckwit a pass because he can play, the culture will suffer long term at the club allowing these types of players to pollute the group.
Lodge is a good example of a thug who has turned his life around. we need more blokes like him in the side.
Full of mongrel, but has experienced some harrowing shit that has made him realize just how privileged he is to be a Bronco.

He had a moment of stupidity while drunk. It happens to the best of us. What you posted was so judgemental and over the top. Welcome to being a top tier athlete and the scrutiny that comes with it. This may be the wake up call he needed.

Seems to me we have a young bloke who has been reading too much of his own press the last few months. I wish the security guard gave him a touch up.
 
'Walsh has visited Fifita twice and is now working through a peace agreement deal which would see the player released without charge.
The man on the receiving end of the alleged assault - security guard Dani Irawan - told Seven he planned to sign the peace agreement.'

There's a positive sign I guess.
