Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3127602, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]Fresh off the press, the [B]world's number 1 NRL correspondent[/B] donates his 23 years of experience to the Broncos' administration, guiding their lance towards these five inflamed carbuncles. As ever, due to legal reasons these are an artistic replication of his actual words, unless "in italics:" 1. Seibold gets a gun Biggest sin, locking up a rookie coach to a five year deal and kicking the foundation coach to the curb:[/I] "In 23 years covering this sport, the five-year deal handed to Anthony Seibold is one of the most irresponsible acts I have seen from a club board. The function of a board is to provide governance. Was sacking Bennett, the code’s greatest coach and Brisbane’s only premiership mentor, in favour of a one-year NRL greenhorn on a five-year, $3 million deal good governance? Why didn’t someone on the executive push back on such a risky deal? If the Broncos miss the finals this year, the board will have to consider parting ways with Seibold. Given the length of his contract, the payout will be significant."[/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" alt="image-w1280.jpg"]8065[/ATTACH] [I][COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]You're in the army now.[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]2. The kids aren't alright Next, the ones who got away: Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Munster:[/I] "The Broncos have not unearthed a superstar playmaker since Darren Lockyer. Brisbane’s primary problem is their scrumbase. Until their scouts find a champion halfback (hopefully Tom Dearden can be one), the Broncos will not win their seventh title." [I]3. Picking and flicking They've discarded the experience of James Roberts, Andrew McCullough, Kodi Nikorima, Korbin Sims and Josh Mcguire and find themselves lacking a hardman. And are spending nearly a million a year on Bird.[/I][/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Darius+Boyd+NRL+Rd+19+Knights+v+Titans+QlHRmQueZFml.jpg"]8063[/ATTACH] [I][COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Broncos get their man[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]4. Leading the blind Sacking Boyd as captain was [/I]"flawed and has created more problems than it has solved. Alex Glenn is a ripping bloke and a great servant, but six months ago the Broncos wanted to cut his salary in half and shopped him around to other clubs. Suddenly, he is the captain. When he is injured, his co-captaincy fill-ins are Pat Carrigan and Brodie Croft. They have started 10 times for the Broncos. The young players still gravitate towards Boyd, who is the club’s only current 300-gamer and two-time premiership winner." [I]5. Pissing on the past[/I][/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" alt="img_3952-25bcd8mdkqzo3z4otj2_t1880.jpg"]8064[/ATTACH] [I][COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]A brains trust gone begging[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]Gorden Tallis. Chris Johns. Glenn Lazarus. Steve Renouf. You name it: they're all bashing the club. Maranta has been shunned. Bennett is the enemy:[/I] "The club should be ashamed at that breakdown. They say you should never forget those who dug the well. If the Broncos board won’t make the tough calls, and cherish the club’s past in building a prosperous future, they should step aside for an executive that will." McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
