He won’t though because he is a mercenary who cares about himself and his mum and no-one else.

And then I hope the video and information about what he actually did in Bali somehow gets released. I’m over it as well

So the media speculate...
It was stated a long time ago his contract may not be sorted till the end of the year due to his management issues. It's entirely just as likely that he's still trying to work through that problem and all this crap in the media is nothing but conjecture.

I want him to stay but if he goes to the Titans we can use the cap space set aside to bring in 2 or 3 players to make the team stronger overall. We need to stop paying overs for players no matter how good they are. He only has to do his ACL and we are fucked and we do have history with these types of injuries.

From what I remember, it's not much for the first 2 years, just carrying over the Storm salary? Not sure about the 3rd, I'd imagine it would be a bit higher, but can't imagine it being very high either.

$700k apparently only gets you 1.5 Offa's... hardly something to hold out for.
More like;y the money set aside for him will go to shoring up the current players... Herbie off contract this year and Staggs, Coates, Dearden, etc. are off contract next year.
The money from Milf and Bird is more likely to buy us a few good signings

Taylor especially. I think the Coaltrain is both one of my favourite and one of my most loathed players at the same time. If he could ever have got Cronks work ethic implanted in his brain he would be the greatest forward that we have seen play Rugby League imo. Such a waste of talent.

We need to spend our money on a 1,6,7 and 9 more than we need Fifita, even though he is a superstar in the making.

Been hoping the crap coming out of the Titans is conjecture but sadly I doubt it.

Maybe Bullimoor is going to Raiders to get game time and will come back next season as Fifita's replacement.

It's half right - Crichton is on 100k at the Roosters but when he leaves he'll free up 1m.

If the choice was down to playing at either one of two basket cases, I’m going to the one that pays the most without thinking about it.

This.
The way him and his mum have handled this situation has made me dislike him a lot, **** him off, let the Titans have him.
He is a great player no doubt, but the lack of loyalty he has shown in these negotiations with the club that saved his ass from a Bali jail cell have been nothing short of offensive.
If the Broncos are serious about getting their culture back, they need to get rid of these mercenary types and keep players loyal to the club.

Great perspective!
Fifita is already far more than 1.5 x the player Ofahengaue is / ever will be.
Imagine being Haas knowing Ofahengaue is being paid the same...

I would like to point out that if we didn’t sign Croft, we’d surely be able to up the offer but Never that much though I’d be furious if they did.
I’m turning sour on this kid, so he won’t sign because of his agent but then he’s considering a massive offer from the titans for longer then one year? Wtf is actually going on?
Just speculation on my part but it seems his mum has dollar signs in her eyes and wants that cash. This definitely has the potential to ruin him long term, that much money for a backrower basically expected to win them every game. The pressure will pile right the **** up real quick young fella.

What bill? He paid his own fine. Everyone acts like we were amazing to him over there but what did we do?

The staff that flew over. The legal advice. The support in general. He was just a tourist at that point in time.
