Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 3508176, member: 8187"] I'm not disagreeing on the benefits the club has had in the past. I don't know about the sombrero talk, but there were many incidents that showed Brisbane enjoyed some privileges. I'm only talking about the corona time where the Broncos went 2-0 to start the season. Had a young, exuberant team, but lacked the mental fortitude to cop the absolute dogs-ball reffing that came after the 6-again entered the game. Simultaneously, the Panthers got all the rub of the green in dubious ways and flourished. Look at the clubs that succeed and you will see dodgy shit every time. Sharks somehow being ok in between salary cheat years to win a gf (ScoMo links here). Penrith losing millions each year until a magical turnaround. Roosters...nuff said. The teams that need saving often get saved, particularly if the AFL is encroaching, or there is some political or financial connection to be made. The trick to success *nowadays* in this competition is to basically go broke and start losing fans. *Or be a cash cow* the Broncos weren't ever going to be down for long, and who knows if News Corp. took a hit to get some recompense afterwards? I wouldn't put it past them. [/QUOTE]
