Remember when Meninga had a ‘red hot go’ at TPJ? Lodge? Haas? Arrow?

He doesn’t seem to have much success overall... Who has he signed? A Melbourne reserve grader?
 
One would think that the Bali incident may well have delayed any public acknowledgement of Fifita re-signing.

From a PR perspective, you don't reward alleged shenanigans with a rich contract. The media would have a field day. Especially after recent events and blowback over Lodge's signing.

I would hope that the right negotiations have taken place and a strategic announcement to maximise positive coverage.
 
Has Tallis rambled on Fifita going to the Titans yet? I must say he has been quiet of late(assuming he is still with the Titans).

No, it's timestamped today. But, like yesterday, the quotes are being recycled as if it's current.

Like I said in the OP: Badel is just trolling us.

Screenshot 2020 02 25 Meninga will do whatever it takes to land Fifita

Contract negotiations can take time, especially ironing out terms. That's the hold up. Sometimes the hold up is caused by the NRL, like it did with Thaiday in 2015.

This shit can take a long time, especially when the player in question are still under contract for another year. They don't want to rush into another contract and take their time to make sure they are getting the best deal.

He's also doing nothing wrong. His priority should be to act in his own best interest, all things taken into account. It's his life, and he only needs to look at Nikorima, Kahu and McGuire to see how the Broncos might treat him one day in return for his "loyalty."

The Broncos will have told him how long he has to make up his mind before they'll go to market for someone else. That's his real deadline. And he's been here long enough to get a feel for what being a prominent Bronco means in the area he's grown up, in terms of feels and third party deals.

Right now, he's the hottest unsigned player in the NRL. This is likely his career peak. Like Milford when he signed with Brisbane. His agent won't let him piss that bargaining chip down the toilet just to get it out of the road.

I can't see him heading down the Coast unless there's friction in the club or they're offering him so much money it snuffs out the added value of being a big dick in Brisbane.

We just have to accept this is about him, not us. Abusing him is not helpful. It's the exact opposite.

At the end of the day jumping off a motorbike and having a go at a bouncer in Indo is a deadshit move.

The fact that this entitled wanker is holding on negotiating a contract with a club that supported bribing his dumb arse out of jail is bullshit.

The fact this deadshit thinks the Bronc's were doing their job is beyond disgusting.

**** can get fucked.

Best thing to have happened to him was to get the lodge treatment. Worst thing is to give this guy a fat pay rise and have him genuinely think the Bronc's should be bailing out his drunken stupid arse

And yes get fucked anyone defending his bullshit comments in this article.

i think you need to learn what a "fact" is
 
All this talk about holding out for more money. How much money does one 19 year old need in the second year of his career?

I hope he stays signs and builds a dynasty. If he banks his $1M a year he’ll be on easy street from interest alone even if his form fades by 25.
 
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.

Did you see it happen did ya? If you're able to determine from this footage that he jumped off a motorbike and had a go at a bouncer, well that's pretty special.
