Broncos superstar David Fifita did an incredible back flip just an hour after it was reported that he was almost out of Brisbane.
Fifita has reportedly called a senior Broncos official on Wednesday morning to let them know that he had “a change of heart” when he left the crisis-stricken club at the end of the year.
The hottest player in the NRL market was expected to have $ 1 million, and it was reported this morning by Nines Danny Weidler, the Broncos, that he can’t keep up with big deals from elsewhere.

The titans have emerged as the most likely applicants for Fifitas services and are preparing to write him a blank check to drive down the M1 for an hour.
But since Weidler’s first report, Fifita has apparently told the Broncos: “I’m staying.”
“David Fifita has called a senior official in Brisbane in the past hour to say that he has had a change of heart,” Weidler wrote.

“Broncos said he was gone last night. Fifita gives an official a verbal “I stay”. Again – nobody is registered. If so, pretty much the backflip. Stay tuned.”
On Wednesday morning, Weidler reported that the Broncos believed Fifita was almost gone.
“From Broncos, YOU see that David Fifita is gone. The Broncos cap needs to be cleaned. The offer of the titans cannot and will not keep up, ”Weidler tweeted.
“Nobody is registered. Manager Steve Deacon was asked for confirmation: “No decision yet, but soon one. Bronco’s negotiating tactics? “

Laurie Daley has beaten the Broncos over their cap management when they lose their brightest young talent.
“If you lose David Fifita, you will seriously cram it,” said Daley.
“He is the most promising and best striker of all. You cannot lose it. You can lose some of the others, but you cannot lose him. “

Brent Read reported that Fifita would have to sacrifice up to $ 500,000 to stay in Red Hill.
“Fifita has made it clear to the Gold Coast and Brisbane – along with a nameless team from Sydney who is believed to still be in the market for its services – that it will only consider a one-year contract for 2021 before he wants to sign a longer contract agreement next year, ”wrote Read in The Australian.
“The Australian knows the titans have made a $ 1 million deal for next season, an offer that would make him one of the highest paid strikers in the game.”
The controversial club in Sydney is the Bulldogs, according to Dean Ritchie of the Daily Telegraph.
However, Fifita is unlikely to want to move to Sydney, so he has to make a decision between the Broncos and the Titans.
“He is a franchise player. He has been there for 10 years. He’s a superstar, ”said Ritchie at the Big Sports Breakfast.
“We will hear his decision within the next 48 to 72 hours.”
