Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3126103, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]Broncos[B] [/B]founder[B] Barry Maranta[/B] weighs in:[/I] “The poor players aren’t the problem, it’s bigger than that. I can’t imagine Lachlan Murdoch (co-chairman of News Corp, a majority owner of the Broncos) would be happy – he would be furious with this. This is not the Broncos I know. The culture has changed." “What we see now is what I saw in other struggling teams when we first set up the Broncos. We made up our minds at the time that we would never be like the battling clubs and we put a lot of emphasis on loyalty, support and team camaraderie. The problem at the club has existed long before (Thursday) night’s performance." “Paul Morgan wasn’t the only one who would have turned in his grave, Gary Balkin would have as well. This young Broncos squad does not deserve what is happening. I felt terrible for the young fellas out there because they are talented and I do believe they care, but what can the club expect when they putting out an under-23s side?" “I feel sorry for the lads that they have to be targets of comments and that’s the nature of professional sport. But the Broncos’ problems are wider than the playing squad. I studied teams that went bad and once you go backwards, the energy required to turn a club around increases 10-fold. Anyone with any knowledge of a serious franchise knows the Broncos need to rebuild and can they do it without scarring the younger group?" “Seibold is under pressure all right. Whether he has the tools to resurrect the glory days of the Broncos is the biggest challenge. I don’t understand his infrastructure. He needs a senior mentor. When Wayne Bennett started out, he had guys like Don Furner and Jack Gibson, and Anthony needs some senior back-up to help him through this period.” McHunt [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
