We haven’t had a genuine home grown superstar in years now. If he was to leave, it’d be a disaster for the broncos. in saying that his talents are being wasted at the moment here but to lose him to the titans would be a bitter pill to swallow.
 
I'm getting to the stage where **** all this bullshit if he cared about the club he would of Re-signed by now. Let him leave and be a money hungry player and him most probably ruining his career. We have enough problems to worry about atm to put up with this bullshit.

Why do people make the assumption that because he hasn't re-signed yet, that he doesn't care about the club?

The fact that he's so torn on the decision obviously shows that he cares about the club. But he also cares about giving back to his mother and paying off her house.

But really, the hold up has been he doesn't want his management anymore and he doesn’t want him to get a cut. It's got nothing to do with not caring about the club.
 
The titans are experiencing their best season in years, with tallis and co singing from the rafters about what a great future the club has with such a great coach and a young squad with great prospectsprospects. No serious injuries to complain of and have had a positive differential in the penalty count with a decent run with their draw so far......

The Broncos have had their worst season for decades, perhaps ever, with the youngest team in the comp with by far the worst penalty differential in the comp, perhaps ever again. Shocking injury count, the worst in the comp, and yet....

The titans 14th
The Broncos 13th

Think about that fifita, that is deadset incredible....
 
I think the Titans have gone way past sensible roster management. It will take years to clear the overpaid players and build something competitive, and even then they're no guarantee of success. I think their go-to recruitment of paying overs for talented yet inconsistent players is all they have to try to bring hype to the club. Which is, of course, Very Gold Coast.

While I don't think Tallis has too much sway over the club, despite being chummy with the Frizelle's, this Fifita farce has all the hallmarks of his vindictive agenda. First it was Thaiday, next it was Gillett, he tried to stick a wedge between then and the Broncos to try to pry them down the M1. In this case, it doesn't really matter if the Titans do actually want to spend 1.25 million on Fifita. Either way, they're trying to make us spend more money to retain him, or successfully lure him away. Either way it will make Tallis feel like he's got one over us, even if it's actually to the detriment of the Titans.
 
Though if they did get Fifita, they suddenly have three of the best young forwards in the game. They have a fair bit to build around but will have no money to do so.

Right now, we have the three best forwards in the game (Haas, TPJ, Fifita), the next Darren Lockyer (Niu), the next Alfie Langer (Dearden), the next Greg Inglis (Coates) and the next Cameron Smith (Turpin). Unfortunately, we also have the current Darius Boyd.

Probably selling him a bit short, I agree.

Pies is expecting an answer with 48 hours:

“David has been at the Broncos since he was 14 or 15 so he has had a long-term attachment to the club. I love coaching him, he has some fantastic friends at the club, but it‘s David’s decision, it’s his family’s decision. I won’t try and sell the club to David, he knows what the club offers and I would love to keep him.”

Alex Glenn:

“The only sledging is we make him shout all our lunches. It’s a big pay packet if he gets that payment, we have all been in the same situation so we understand the pressures and we don’t want to add to that pressure. There is always banter around him shouting coffees. We can’t play footy for the rest of our lives."

“Although clubs would love to keep talent around, it comes down to the player and what’s the best decision for himself. I know making my decisions it was easy because all I wanted to do was bring a premiership back to Brisbane, but the way I think is totally different to other players.”

“It‘s Dave’s decision, and his family’s decision and if it’s to go to another club all we can do is wish him well. But I know the player and person he is and I would love him to be around longer, not just the talent but the character he is and what he brings to this team. His value is everything he brings to the team as well.”

He's taking the dough boys and girls. Get ready for it. I mean why shouldn't he coming from his background?
