Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2704471, member: 1899"] You're too good Bman. I wanted to check the game out the other week till stuff got in the way. Your review did a really good job of painting a picture and it's easily the best post anyone has produced all week. On Kennedy, outside of a few fans who were absolute Kennedy tragics, I think most were just hopeful. Before injuries struck, Kennedy showed plenty of promise, to the extent that at 22 there was a huge blue in the media over his representative status. I think he had something of a Luke Keary situation? Lived in Lismore till he was 10 before moving to Ipswich. Something along those lines... anyways, when the signing was announced, the Broncos were desperate for forwards. The ones they had coming through weren't ready and there was a lot of dead weight at the club. Kennedy was seen as somebody who could use a change of scenery and would probably fair better being closer to home. Unfortunately as time went on, details of the deal emerged which suggested the Broncos had over-paid for his services. When that was hard enough to swallow, rumours of ASADA began and that was really the beginning of the end. I don't think the Broncos were serious about retaining him after that point and never seemed that interested in investing in him. He struggled to receive game time and was treated like an after thought. The rumour was the Broncos were going to let him go, irrespective of Wayne, but Bennett ended up making the same call which turned out to be right. It was the right idea, but they chose the wrong horse and the difference between him and Blair highlights one area the Broncos have really improved. Then again, some of the alternatives that were suggested hardly had successful years themselves. [/QUOTE]
