Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2777115, member: 1808"] I don't want to get too much into the Late 80's/early 90's cause it might go off topic but bringing a new franchise in is a hard comparison where the majority of players were used to the Brisbane competition which granted was superior to the current intrust cup, wasn't to the same standard of the NSWRL, Players had to adjust and you had a mixture of the younger players alongside the seasoned campaigners in Lewis, Miles, Conescu, Dowling etc who were at either their peak or nearing the end of their careers. The Lewis decision was an extremely tough one to make because the club needed to look to the future and the salary cap had just been introduced. Do you keep on the older players who are nearing the end of their careers, have serious injury concerns or do you concentrate on locking up your key players for the future for which the club had a staggering amount to keep. A lot of criticism was directed at the club, especially Bennett for it but the truth is tough decisions needed to be made. For 2017 we have a ton of players off contract, Bennett will review the past two seasons and consider who he believes fits into the clubs future, some decisions people will like, some they won't, have to wait and see.
