Bronco also went toe to toe with the admin for players: Kyle Van Noy for example.
In the case of Takitaki, it’s possible that Bronco had run out of patience. All of Takitaki’s troubles were under Bronco and prior to meeting his future wife. Takitaki has used up all his goodwill with Bronco.
Takitaki was blessed that Bronco left and A new coach with a clean slate came in. Sitake had not dealt with Takitaki before. In the meantime, Takitaki has met a woman who became a steadying force and had humbled him.
To Sitaki’s credit, he fought for a Sione and the story ends well.
