I’m heartbroken for our supporters because they don’t get to see our day-to-day operations at the club,” Roffey said.
The president said Petracca, who is contracted for five more years, had raised issues with the club but not directly with her. “He has not told me that directly, no. Again, I don’t personally need to hear it, what I need to hear is, ‘Christian, what are the issues you have with the club and how do we work towards a resolution?’
“ is homesick, they all get homesick from time to time. Kozzie is a home person, he’s got a beautiful little baby and his family, there’s some in South Australia, some in WA,” she said. Roffey said ongoing accusations levelled at the club and lawsuits initiated by Bartlett were shielding a “deeper story”.
