Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3261838, member: 9518"] Exactly. The whole thing sounds seriously underhand by the Broncos at the time. Hopefully DD is able to at least get the Walker brothers to sit down for a coffee and a yarn to get their take on the issue first-hand so a situation like this is never able to occur again at the club. It is fairly obvious that there was no recognised playbook for these types of negotiations and if there were they obviously were not fit for purpose. I'd hope DD ensures there is a fully documented policy written down so that in the future the whole of the club is reading from the same page. DD spoke of making the Broncos the biggest club in terms of signed up members. The sooner this happens the better. There also needs to be an overhaul of our systems that cover the way the club projects it's image to the region. Some of the stories on here referring to carnivals and the sheer absence of our brand is utter deplorable. We need to get back into the schools and carnivals and encourage the kids to see the Broncos as their local home-based team. My two nephews are footy mad (as is their dad) but they both go for the Storm which just does not sit well with their dad or me. When you ask them why they don't follow the Broncos they both say "they're rubbish and have no players that excite us". How do we argue against that? My other nephew is in the same school and a couple of years behind where Sam Walker attended. He tells me that all his mates have now began to support the Roosters. That's the Broncos' future paying public being diminished right there. And I'm sure many other SE Queensland kids playing footy will be looking at Walker and thinking maybe that's the way to go. That needs to be addressed very quickly by ensuring the Broncos are front and centre with these kids. [/QUOTE]
