fredie wrote:Brisbane Broncos withdraw contract offer to Karmichael Hunt BRISBANE still remain hopeful of retaining star fullback Karmichael Hunt despite playing hard-ball by withdrawing their contract offer late today. The Broncos stuck by their round one deadline for the offer, believed to more than $1 million over three years, when Hunt failed to respond at the weekend.
Chief executive Bruno Cullen insisted the Broncos were comfortable with the offer tabled early this year but were unable to continue waiting for Hunt to pursue other options, including a lucrative rugby contract in Japan.
Talks have stalled and the club delivered the strong message they wouldn't be drawn into a bidding war for the 22-year-old.
"The time frames were not suitable to either the Brisbane Broncos or Karmichael's management and, as a club, we have had to withdraw the offer and move on," Cullen said in a club statement.
Hunt would only leave the NRL for pots of money, and we can't offer that. There's more chance Charlie Seeling admitting he's wrong about something than there is of Wigan signing Karmichael Hunt.
