Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2148931, member: 1827"] Russo has touched on this in the awards thread, but the great Cyril Connell deserve his own thread. Cyril, you are a legend and much of this club's success is owed to you. On top of being a legendary player scout, I can say for sure that I will never meet a nicer bloke in all my life. I did work experience at the Broncos in 2001, and did a fair bit with Cyril while I was there. I've worked a few jobs since and nobody has been more welcoming than Cyril was to me for that week. And to top it all off, he gave me a pair of footy boots. I hope that whoever takes over the reigns as the Broncos' player scout continues to search long and hard for players from South-East and Central Queensland. For those a bit young to understand what this man has done for the club, I'll put it simple. Without Cyril Connell, there's a fair chance that Shane Webcke, Darren Lockyer, Petero Civoniceva, Tonie Carroll, Karmichael Hunt, Shaun Berrigan, Wendell Sailor, Lote Tuqiri and Brent Tate would never have pulled on a Broncos jersey. Enjoy retirement Cyril, and thanks [eusa_clap.gi [/QUOTE]
