Message: [QUOTE="Chumba, post: 2107344, member: 1986"] WB not talking to the players at half time is more than just interesting... has he given up all together? As for WB getting them to the eight last year, that's a stretch, they went out of the comp backwards with a number losses and a couple of floggings... they were in the eight because the rest of the comp was too weak to win more than half their games to make eighth spot. The only good thing out of the end of last year was Petro leading them, once again ONE player making the side and the coach look good. All this rot about WB making the players what they are is digging deep. We have a great number of S.O.O players that have only been picked in those sides because they were at the Broncos and therefore seemed to attract selection over another. The likes of Parker, Stagg, Boyd, Carlaw, Meyers, Maguire, Hannet, Marsh would never have been given starts at rep level if it wan't for their combination with lockyer and co not to mention the retaining of Gee, Webb, Cann and Carrol when they got older. The selection of these players at rep level has been gutting us from the inside out for years and has nothing to do with how GREAT our coach is but a perpexity to select players from the broncos to play for Qld. I do note that a number have done the job well once there, but so did a number of other players from other clubs. And the Wallace at penrith as against brisbane comparision!!!!! he was in A grade and killing them at penrith before he got dropped for signing with brisbane; and the reason he was signed was because he was killing them, not because he was this unpollished gem that just needed the WB touch. And now he's been selected in the blues when he was a rank outsider(another broncos selection when others should have got the spot) we'll have to pay him more, watch him play away from the club and yes get injured and leave the team weak. WB is GREAT at recruiting, but I haven't seen any sign of a game plan since the great side of 2000. He selects the best 17 he can muster, throws them out there and waits for them to get it done and there are a million exampls of that, while other clubs run lines, changes direction, OFFLOAD! set plays and more, but we just throw it around and wait for someONE to do it for the rest of them(many are the exampls of that too).
