Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 3001573, member: 9424"] 1. I’m not going to get into an argument regarding the Bennett thing. As far as I’m concerned, he was as much to blame for the whole mess. Nonetheless, to support your discourse (in this instance at least) you’re only holding the Broncos to account. That’s only telling half the story. 2. I think you may have missed the point. The Broncos most likely have someone else lined up to play that role. Are they as experienced? Maybe, maybe not. But no one gets experience without being given the opportunity. But that aside, if we kept every 28yo injury prone player who’s only managed to play 90 odd games across numerous seasons (in no way is that a dig at Kahu, indeed he’s given his all for this club, but that doesn’t make it any less true) just because we might get injuries, we wouldn’t have anywhere near the roster that we have today. It seems you might consider letting Kahu go to be a huge risk should we get injuries, but I see it as a gamble worth taking so that we can look to the future. Maybe I will be wrong, but either way, I certainly don’t see it as the Broncos trying to uphold a ‘good guy’ image. 3. Surely you don’t think the Broncos are doing this to punish the club and it’s supporters? I expect that’s just hyperbole? You must see they are making a point based on principle. One that, I expect at least, is aimed at ensuring shenanigans, of any magnitude, will not be tolerated. By anyone. Again, this is them showing they are looking long term, not the shortsighted view just about every other club in the NRL has. Indeed, those values are at the foundation of this club and are some of the reasons we are the strongest club, the club with the most (if not the most, near enough to it) enviable roster, the most powerful club and the most supported club in rugby league. It’s because we have these morals and ethics that we have ensured sustained success (no one has been more successful (win %) than us since we entered the competition), rather than flash-in-the-pan success. The Broncos have always said that no one player, coach, support staff or administrator is bigger than the club or the game. Suspending Haas is simply reinforcing this notion. [/QUOTE]
