Message: [QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 2484041, member: 2107"] [b]Re: Gillett and Jack Reed re-sign[/b] With the exception of maybe 1 or 2 players, I don't think the broncos are really over paying their players. What I think they have done at the moment is try and recruit or retain too many slightly above average or better players in most positions, without having enough money to lure an absolute star to the club - one of the top 5 players in our game. The problem is, if you want one of the stars of the game, you have to lose out in other areas. It leaves you less money for the other players and positions, so you're bound to end up with some less quality players across the board. Although even if the Broncos took this approach of signing a Thurston, Cronk etc, I'm sure you'd still whinge about why they are persisting with nuffie X, Y or Z, much like you seem to do about them in the early-mid 2000s when they did have some genuine game breakers of the game chewing up a lot of their salary cap, but also had to accomodate players such as Scott Minto etc because of this. It just depends which way you want to go though. If you assemble a well balanced team, I don't beleive you need a superstar of the game to be successful. The Broncos don't have an indivudal superstar at the moment, and I'm not sure the Broncos have that balance either, but that's probably a whole different argument. I think the salary cap rorting by your beloved Meblourne Storm and Craig Bellamy have skewed your perception on just how hard it actually is to assemble a quality football team, year after year. You seem to think it's easy to have a team packed of stars without any nuffies, year after year. It's not, and I think the Broncos are currently going through a rebuilding phase, as many of todays successful, non-cheating, teams have done over the past 5-10 years. [/QUOTE]
