Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2888075, member: 9008"] Are you seriously comparing Macca with the greatest hooker of all time? Moving hunt who was generally terrible for 2 years with only flashes of brilliance (and who played better at hooker) with moving one the greatest halfbacks in QLD origin history. Besides reckon Cronk would go ok at hooker if had to because he is a true professional. They would have slotted Riley Jacks who was pretty damn good covering because they recruited and used their backup plan correctly as they did when he covered during the year. And Munster was great this year. Yes helped by his spine and forwards but he stepped up. Let's be honest Milf was hit and miss before the shoulder, more turnstile like but still couldn't kick or organise his way out of a wet paper bag. Not necessarily a criticism of Milford since he shouldn't have been asked to do that since we like to ignore a player's strengths and weaknesses to suit the vision of what they should do. Half the forum was calling for Sims to be sacked on and off the season. Not playing him, Thaiday and Blair simultaneously was in many ways a blessing in avoiding half a pack who would be lucky to make a 100m. And Storm would neither need or want Slater to play on one leg. Because for the two years he was injured they found a way to cover him without their entire defence going to pieces. Oates was a big loss too but most clubs can replace a winger without their backups starring in skating on ice or whatever the hell Mead was doing. We got deep into September by losing to a terrible Roosters, won against an even more terrible Panthers, and lost to a Storm who opened the door and invited us in with red carpet by their standards in the first half. Agree about the refs but if we are going to use that as an excuse then why bother turning up because we've been getting screwed for years and seems like NRL manipulation for fairytales aren't going away. Instead of bitching about refs suggest Broncs use some of that surplus to fund an audit by independent refs to hold over the NRL and start actually fighting corruption in the game. Also time to start putting heavy pressure on NRL and channel nine to stop the ridiculous press and biased scheduling. Hire some PR gurus to fight back with our own narrative. If push comes to shove what can NRL do to Broncs we are their largest source of revenue. Money overcomes a lot of other bulls***. [/QUOTE]
