Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 2862454, member: 8423"] While many of us really honestly thought Wallace was on track to become something pretty good, there were many even on here who felt he was a plodder or just average. Unfortunately, the Broncos made a judgment call on that one and given Thaiday's service and status at the time, you can understand why they went the way they did. Unfortunately though, losing Wallace is symptomatic of a larger issue at the club and that is our talent identification and retention staff. For whatever reason, in the last 15-20 years, we have made some shocking decisions that have resulted in the majority of Qld's cream of the crop ending up having stellar careers elsewhere. How did our club miss ALL of these players: Milford, Folau, Chambers, Munster, Holmes, Thurston, Cronk, Napa, Smith, Hannant, Papalii, etc Now I am aware it is impossible to get all these players early and we have had some success with players like Gillett, McGuire, Oates, etc but Gillett was more luck than anything as he was a latish bloomer. But throw in the fact that JT was in our own backyard (Clydesdales for goodness sake), Munster and Widdop were Broncos fans and we simply let Taylor walk, you can see why many of us supporters are frustrated.
