Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2664165, member: 1950"] [b]Re: Broncos - 2016 Speculation/Discussion[/b] ..and Wayne will be gone in 2017, and have cleared out the senior playing ranks. Then it will be up to caretaker coach 1 (Kevvie) to attempt to replicate Bennett's style for 2 seasons before an acrimonious dumping to another caretaker coach 2 replicating Bennett's style, rinse repeat, until you get a revolution from the club that its identity and only formula for success involves some link to Wayne Bennett and past successes. Sometime around 2020 we should have a new coach, solid roster with a good balance and a new culture that isn't Bennett + X = Success. Great coach. Great years through the 1990s. A legend of the club. But what's in the future? The NRL landscape, TV rights and corporate dollars are going to be different. There will be a second team in Brisbane by 2020. The Broncos look like they're content to rest on tried and tested history which is undeniably tied to a monopoly on the junior talent and fan base in the region, which will be remarkably eroded by a second team. Broncos take that monopoly pipeline on talent and fans for granted now. How they grapple with that over the next few years is this generation's greatest issue. [B]My feeling is our next premiership window is entirely based around Hunt's progression in the next 2 seasons. [/B]Is he a flash in the pan, or a true franchise player, like DCE? Darius Boyd is a mercenary. Milford will be make or break next year. The pessimist in me says WB will do more to break him but I hope to be proven wrong. Macca and Hunt have history and chemistry. McGuire is our next forward leader. Joe Ofehengaue is our next Orign star. I'm not sold on Oates as the core of the second row. Gillett... enigmatic. Outside backs. Wouldn' be suprised if there's 3 rookies there over the next few years Gagai would be a coup, but he's a different mould to Hodges (see the trend here - trying to copy history's mould for success). Copley's 2015 is big - can he keep ramping up 2014? [/QUOTE]
