Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 3469142, member: 1983"] Is an eighteen year old kid really going to care about what Wally Lewis has to say? Does Wally even want to act in that role for the club? And Locky isn't much better - Karl would have been, what, seven when Locky retired (and not even born when he was playing fullback)? If he had an idol, it was probably more likely to have been Thurston or Slater or Smith or some other club's player who was a star in the 2010s. The Milf, maybe, but he'd just say come to Redcliffe, they have a sick Maccas just down the road. I don't think we can count on the leverage of former greats - we need to sell what the club can do for the player now, and it seems like what a lot of these players want now is a guaranteed first grade jersey, with their number of choice on the back. If that's not the type of player the club wants, then I have no issue with them cutting ties. Sometimes it works out for the best - look at Walsh. Sometimes it bites you a little - look at Dearden. Who knows what Karl will be - but he won't be a Bronco, that much seems certain. I'm content to keep players like Mam and Mozer, who appear to be happy to embrace the vision, and wait their turn.
