Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3034588, member: 1899"] Brisbane were never in line to win the 2004 premiership, but it set them up for future success. The transition of Lockyer from fullback to five-eighth made the Broncos more potent and the shock selection of Karmichael Hunt proved a master stroke. The emergence of talent like David Stagg, Brett Seymour, Sam Thaiday, Gary Tupou and Tom Learoyd also bode well for the future. I've never seen a team bomb out as badly as the Broncos did in 2005. An argument could be made that 2003 was just as bad, but that team didn't have the class or skill of the 2005 counterpart. The Broncos were dominating the 2005 competition and were well on their way to a minor premiership when they just lost touch with the competition. They had a couple of tight losses where they weren't at their best, then injuries started piling up and before you know it they were on a massive losing streak. I'll never experience a season as sweet as 2006, ever. It's a fact I've come to accept over the past few years and no matter what the club continues to do I'll always have those memories. 2007 was a wake-up call. As incredible as the premiership victory was, there were still issues with the team and they weren't going away. Behind the scenes the club was going through a make-over and that uncertainty manifested itself onto the field. In a lot of ways, this year was a disaster for the club and I don't think the Broncos have ever been the same since. [/QUOTE]
