Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2633157, member: 1808"] I can understand how Wally felt a bit betrayed by Gene, after all they were extremely tight friends, Wayne was in a pretty tough position really, the club had failed to deliver on the first two seasons, he felt the club needed more dedicated leadership both on and off the field, on the field I don't doubt his abilities there as such but I have heard off the field the younger players felt he was not so approachable, he was a lazy trainer which isn't ideal from a leadership figure(one of the main reason's Bennett brought Peter Jackson to the club) and he was also growing more preoccupied with his media commitments. Gene gave up his rep commitments, focused on his own game and the captaincy and I feel became a better player then the earlier years at the Broncos. I feel for Wally in 1990, it was definitely a season I wish turned out a lot better then it did, I would have loved to have seen him fully fit for the majority of the season at lock(much like Miles I felt Lewis's final years would end up in the backrow), with Kerrod Walters at hooker, Kevin Walters and Allan Langer in the halves and Hauff at fullback, we may have done better in the finals because of it. The Broncos offered him basically a deal that suggested he should go elsewhere, he went to the Seagulls and really ended his career far worse then it deserved. [/QUOTE]
