Message: [QUOTE="jd123, post: 2810962, member: 9126"] Our recruitment took a nose dive when Bennett left and we lost most of our forward pack. He left the Broncos in a mess when he left, intentionally IMO because he is spiteful and that is how he likes to leave clubs when he goes, in a mess so that where others look back in retrospect the club was "in better shape" when he was there. Buying talent is not like buying a new sports car, with a new sports car you know what you are getting and if you pay for a Ferrari you know you will get Ferrari performance, if you pay for a highly rated player, you may not get that same highly rated performance. Look at the Dragons, they have just paid the equivalent price for a Rolls Royce when they are getting a Datsun 180B at best. The heady days of Origin packed Broncos teams was not because they paid top dollar for them and waved cheque books around and went shopping, it was because it was just home grown natural talent from the BRL or QLD Cup now and they were players not chasing the coin but their dream was to represent Brisbane and in the early days Queensland because we were the only NSWRL team. Fast forward to now and the post Lockyer days and it has been a case of one step forward 2 steps back, yes 2015 was a good year apart from the end of it, but I still don't think we have the halves or the forwards to do it or even make the top 8. We need to get rid of some old baggage, Hunt, Glenn, Macca, and I think Blair and Sims are terrible signings and they are only chasing the cash. And Milford needs to learn how to chip and chase, how to throw proper cut out passes and not rely on his main talent of running the ball in broken play, he is brilliant at that but he needs to add more to the five eighth role, a whole lot more if he wants the money he thinks he deserves. Thing is though Granville might have "almost" but Hunt did. There is a big difference between what might have been and what did happen. For the record I think Granville shits all over Macca, the only time you see Macca running the football is 2 meters out from the opposition line. He may as well stop and set off several flares before he does it just to make it that little bit more predictable. [/QUOTE]
