Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3292561, member: 8770"] This is Hilarious. The Storm didnt throw in Munster, he played 1 game in 2014 surrounded by Cronk, Slater, Bromwich, Chambers, Hoffman and Cameron Smith in a very good system and side. Hardly the same situation as throwing Walsh into our side. Sam Walker wouldnt have played anywhere near as much as either if they werent decimated by injuries. I think its funny you have cherry picked certain players who are pretty much the exception not the rule, and all of them have come into stable football sides who werent struggling with badly balanced rosters and they came into to side with plenty of experience and know how. The Broncos followed your mantra of " lets throw every young bloke with a bit of hype behind him " into the team and hoped it worked. Guess what it didnt. Some of us on here predicted it was an accident waiting to happen, and thats exactly what did happen. At the end of the day, we offered Reece a clear development path here in Brisbane. We rightly wanted him to play a bit of ISC and make him earn his spot. He didnt want that option, he took the Warriors big money option ( and i dont blame him, it was big money ) and at the moment he is doing ok. But you cant blame the club or say they stuffed up because they want to develop kids the right way and not over pay them before they have proved anything. I'll end it with a quote from the GOAT Mr Patrick Carrigan after he turned down a big offer from the Doggies. “When a few clubs were keen, the temptations were there and you want to play first grade every week, The Bulldogs are a great club, they have won a few comps in their time and one of my uncles is a mad Dogs fans – he would talk about the Dogs of War and great players like Sonny Bill Williams, Willie Mason and Mark O’Meley. But then I looked at the opportunity to learn from guys here. Even last year, Sam Thaiday was an Origin legend and if I had to come to Red Hill every day to compete with him to win a spot, it would make me a better player than if I got an NRL jumper easily." Thats the attitude of somebody who doesnt want to take a shortcut to being an NRL player. [/QUOTE]
