Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2451895, member: 1764"] Don't read too much into Gee or White saying we're not looking at anyone outside. For so long every player that came on the market was "being pursued by the Broncos", remember? So they're just trying to stop that rumour and innuendo everytime a player is off contract. Because it impacts negotiations. The Broncos have always been a club that looks first to its junior ranks, and scouts Queensland-wide junior talent to bring through from the time they're in high school. But they've always been savvy enough to shop around to bolster areas where the talent either isn't strong enough, or is developing too slowly for the immediate future. Lazarus was a case in point. The Broncos were weak up front. Brought him in, and by the time he left in 1997, we had Shane Webcke emerging as a rep-standard prop and Petero Civoniceva was a year away. Right now it's clear we have a deficiency in the halves. The Broncos will keep saying they have faith in Hunt, Norman, Kahu et al unless they have a viable option to sign from outside. [/QUOTE]
