Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2479261, member: 1847"] But that is almost my whole point. Lockyer was the de facto coach of the side post-the-coach-who-shall-not-be-named-in-this-thread. It was Lockyer's instincts, class, vision, leadership - the same qualities that Cam Smith has in his own way, that kept the Broncos going. Remove Locky from the equation and we have what we have: a rudderless ship. More than that: in my view it was Lockyer who made Gillett look the star he can be. Since Lockyer left, it is no coincidence that Gillett's star has faded a fair bit, and to a very large extent, it isn't his fault. In fairness to Henjak and Griffin, the team did play a few splendid games under them but they turned out to be exceptions to the rule. Aside from which, I think just focusing on the hooker is laregely pointless unless the 1, 6 and 7 are also part of the equation We fail on all counts, and for mine, it is the club's fault that they failed to recruit intelligently knowing the enormous importance Lockyer had for this side. As for Macca and Hunt, they were halves who were forced into being hookers ... with predictable results. [/QUOTE]
