Re: is the master coming home
It will be a monumental stuff up if we take Bennett back and Griffin leaves to coach the Cowboys or any other NRL side. If we have no faith in Griffin then why did we bother sacking Henjak? Would just be unfair to Griffin if we get Bennett back IMO. I also think the club needed a change of coach and I think going back to Bennett would be a mistake for that reason.

Re: is the master coming home
Entertaining is great, but to be frank we didn't become a premiership force on it alone until the day we actually had the toughness to mentally and physically(a definite weakness in the early days of the Broncos) grind wins(especially away games) under the sorts of pressure we have had so far this season and to be frank I'm pleased that Griffin has worked so hard on our side defensively, its been a flaw over the years that has needed to be addressed. Now I'm not saying its all we should concentrate on(we also need to work on cutting down our current mistake rate), but it definitely is an area we have needed to work on.

Re: is the master coming home
Before then there was 2005 where we'd throw the ball around like nobodies business and would rack up a number of high scoring totals against a number of opposition.
Injuries and defence really hurt us that year.

Re: is the master coming home
1999 can't count. We had a horrendous start, alf retired, Renouf and Locky injured at various stages. We had to start from scratch. Sure, we ground, but that was out of necessity not choice.
2000-2001 definitely. Power game was what we relied on.

Re: is the master coming home
We still relied on it in 1999, no shame either as we did extremely well considering the start we had.
You could make some excuses for it in 2006 as well, we looked to be really building something with the Hunt, Lockyer, Seymour, Ennis spine until Ennis broke his leg against Souths.

Re: is the master coming home
start with luring some quality signings for starters, have a think about the players that left in the years since wayne has left. i'll start you off,Michael Ennis, Ben Hannant (Broncos) but he's back now obviously, Darius Boyd (Dragons), Joel Moon, Greg Eastwood (Leeds: ESL), Shane Perry (Les Catalans: ESL) David Taylor (South Sydney Rabbitohs) Karmichael Hunt (Gold Coast Football Club - AFL), Steve Michaels (Mid Season - Gold Coast Titans) Israel Folau (GWS AFL), Antonio Winterstein (North QLD Cowboys) Tariq Sims (North QLD Cowboys) Ashton Sims (North QLD Cowboys), korbin sims, joel Clinton, greg inglis, didn't actually sign but there are conspiracies as to why.
no matter how you look at it, there are some quality players in that list. fair enough you can't attribute all these loses to henjak, but i would bet lefty that if the truth ever came out then alot of the would be because of that bald git.
