Brisbane coach Anthony Seibold has spoken for the first time about young star David Fifita signing with the Gold Coast Titans for the 2021 season.

“All I want to say about Dave is that he made the decision that is best for him and his family,” Seibold told the Courier-Mail.

“I am disappointed to lose Dave because he is someone I feel I have a good relationship with.

“I never wanted to see him go.”

There has been speculation there is a rift between Fifita and Seibold with the Broncos unable to match Gold Coast’s massive three-year offer to get him to the Titans.
