Fifita’s yet to decide his fate, says coach

BRISBANE coach Anthony Seibold says the Broncos remain in the dark over David Fifita’s future in the wake of the Gold Coast Titans’ stunning $1.25 million offer to the back-rower.

Seibold went into shutdown mode on Thursday after being quizzed on whether Fifita would formally commit to the Broncos ahead of Saturday night’s clash with Canterbury at Suncorp Stadium.

Fifita rang Seibold on Tuesday night to reveal he was quitting the club to join the Titans next year, only to sensationally backflip, calling the Broncos coach again on Wednesday to say he had changed his mind.

Broncos management held a 30-minute meeting with Fifita on Thursday.

The 20-year-old is stressed and torn over whether to stay at Brisbane or take a milliondollar leap of faith to spearhead a rebuild of the struggling Titans, with Seibold revealing Fifita had yet to make a definitive call.

“There is no other information on Dave,” he said on Thursday.

“There is no other news, there was a lot of media yesterday and out of respect to Dave and his family and both clubs, once there is news, we can communicate something.”

Asked if he felt relief at Fifita changing his mind in a shock 24-hour backflip, Seibold said: “I’m not keen to talk about that, that’s a personal thing between Dave and myself.

“I’m not going to make any comment about that this morning, it’s a private thing, I feel uncomfortable with this being played out in the media when there is a young man involved and his family is involved. I have no idea (if Fifita is staying), I’m not sure where that is at, it’s not really something I want to talk about, it should be played out behind closed doors.”
