Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2473009, member: 1764"] Wayne Bennett never played first grade (NSWRL) either, although did represent Queensland 7 times. Griffin played 3 years in first grade in Brisbane. IMO, playing ability has little to do with coaching ability. Wally Lewis. End of argument. I honestly think if the first thing you did was to sack Griffin and get Lockyer as coach you'd be doing more harm than good. Lockyer has ZERO coaching experience. I don't believe the coaching team is where the problems, if any, in the club exist. As others have highlighted, it's more in the recruitment and retention side of things. The Broncos used to be the first to get their hooks into young kids with something special. Since the late, great Cyril Connell left the scene, that's fallen away. Combine that with the Broncos' inability to attract star players to fill holes in the playing roster and we have the current situation where we have some strong players in some positions, and major weaknesses in others, meaning the club is not a real threat at a title. I can't recall a Broncos team with a worse combination of fullback, hooker, halfback and five-eighth. Ever. The closest is 2003 (1. Lockyer, 6. Ikin, 7. Berrigan, 9. Swain), but when you have Lockyer at fullback you're going to be better than half the teams in the competition even with absolute nuffies in the other positions. That Andrew McCullough is our best player in the spine is a major concern. That the Broncos are (visibly) not even trying to get Thurston, or Johnson, or Barba, or any of the other quality halves/fullbacks that are out there boggles my mind. [/QUOTE]
