Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2887623, member: 9052"] Where has all this we respect them too much to play hard against them come from anyway?? It can't be player interviews because the same lines trotted out by the respectful qlders are repeated by the disrespectful NSW ie they are legends of the game and we have to shut them down if we are a chance to win. The only mention I can recall was from Gordy (I believe) who came out on Matty Johns or something before the prelim that they should put their respect aside and play the jersey rather than the player.... and if that is the basis of all this then I'd take it with less than a grain of salt. To me it would be more of an ingrained fear of those players, and not just broncos but across the league, the fear being no matter the situation they can still beat you if the game is close. We currently don't have anyone that strikes that fear into the opponents whereas previously we had Lockyer, Alfie, etc. I don't buy into this BS respect because their qld greats. They respect their abilities but that doesn't mean they play beneath themselves because their in awe. Do teams play lesser when GI is on the field, no they respect that he can blow a game open with 1 run. That's respecting the opposition's ability brought about by fear of what they can and have done to previous opposition [/QUOTE]
