Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2632380, member: 1899"] Thankfully I don't think Gene carries around that reputation anymore. When it first happened, obviously that was the agenda some fans ran with because they were upset with the decision to sack Wally. Once the emotion faded and the Broncos went onto win their first premiership not long after, fans were more open to Geno's side of the story. He's definitely a great of the club and one of the best players of his era. For a centre, was incredibly gifted and unlike a few players of his era, I reckon he could have been great even now if he was coming through the ranks. My only problem is that if there are any 'large' centres/second row with talent it's 'they can be the next Gene Miles!' and I hate that tag. I think Jack Reed got it which forced me to snap. But one thing I will say, and maybe it's just a reflection of the age group that posts here but a lot of the 1988-91 Broncos are vastly underrated and rarely get spoken of. It seems as if whenever we reminisce about the Broncos, we basically touch on 98-onwards and rarely anything else. [/QUOTE]
