Message: [QUOTE="gUt, post: 2180265, member: 1766"] In a song that says it doesn't matter what happens to your worldly possessions or your mundane circumstances, Tom Waits said: "There's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel..." I remember in years past getting a certain satisfaction from seeing the way the Broncos behaved on the field, as though they were totally impregnable and irresistible. The team had an aura of arrogance, a projection of utter indifference to whoever their opponent might be on a given week. Like the very best high-jumpers who casually pass on heights that are huge achievements for lesser competitors and who deign not to jump until their nearest rivals decide to get involved, the Broncos seemed to project "you lot start without us, we'll come out in the second half and win it from there". Even if the game was a losing one players like Langer, Sailor, Lockyer, Lazarus, Civoniceva, Berrigan and Carroll and newly, Hunt and Wallace, made it clear that they were primarily having fun at their opposition's expense, casual and professional at the same time. Other teams would have to come totally amped, totally focussed and fired up to try to prove they belonged on the same field. It was a privilege for these guys to have the Broncos lined up against them. What I'd like is to see this new breed of Broncos players try to capture and earn that same self-belief and arrogance. The question is though, is it something that Wayne Bennett taught them or is it something that rubs off on the rest of the team from the likes of Langer and Lockyer? [/QUOTE]
