Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2098482, member: 1764"] Wrong. Wrong. I agree with that one, and that in turn leads to the decisions in the two points above. IE, Bennett would select/sign players that suited the game plan he wanted to enforce. That's why I say your assertions about Bennett in the first points are wrong, because he is actually good at selecting players based on the type of game he wants them to play. His fundamental flaw was a) deciding on the game plan based on what the majority of players at the club were like, and then b) clearing out the players that didn't suit that game plan. It took until end of 2007, but he cleaned out most of the "boring, predictable" players and hired a bunch more interesting players and devised a better game plan accordingly. I'm never one to believe that game plans are time-linked. Just because some teams are doing one thing doesn't mean all teams have to follow. Ironically, all the teams are now going to a boring, predictable game plan. The Storm are a classic example. It's just a boring, predictable game plan based on mobility, rather than size and power like the Broncos' much maligned power game. Therefore I think this is a stupid reason to criticise Bennett. The Broncos have never been about following the leader. They've been about BEING the leader. It's impossible to love something when you hate parts of it. The two emotions do not work together.
