Message: [QUOTE="The Don, post: 3189697, member: 11393"] I'm not going to come in here and act like an expert on the culture of a club I don't follow, but the way I see it, when you grow up supporting a club, you're going to give absolutely everything whilst playing for them and that results in a lot of the qualities Sproj mentioned. I say this as that sort of passion isn't just in professional sport but at school level etc. as well. The fact that supporters are questioning the commitment of players during a game says to me that the current crop aren't displaying that passion for the jersey. I could be completely wrong but given a fair number of your players seem to be from NSW these days instead of what I remember as half the QLD line up (not a crack at your cap just how it used to be essentially), they probably haven't grown up idolising the club in the way that a lot of your past players probably did. I'd rather not question the players give 100% in games but the connection to the club does help people give a little extra. I've seen it many times. If it stems from that, given how many quality players have publicly said how they grew up wanting to play for the broncos, I see recruiting players like them as a good place to start. I get that it is simple geography, but at the end of the day it should mean something not only on the field but in recruitment as well. That is probably not the whole problem just what I'd assume is a contributing factor. [/QUOTE]
