Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 3341276, member: 1808"] Of those named only Matterson and Johns had any NSWRL experience(Johns was a regular first grader, Matterson had about 10 games total in 3 seasons with the Rorters. Majority of the Broncos players were from the Brisbane competition). Alf had played state of origin but was still very young and developing(Alf himself has said he knew the club were looking to lure Des Hasler to the club). Lewis and Miles were marquee players no doubt but they were also starting to enter the backend of their careers and as good as the BRL competition was they had to adjust to the higher demands of the NSWRL competition. Both still played outstanding football for the Broncos(and with regards to Wally injury pretty much ruined his 1990 season, he was never the same afterwards, people have this mentality Lewis couldn't make it in the sydney competition, but he was outstanding in 1988 and 1989 and he was playing like a man possessed early 1990 before a horror run of injuries). Broncos didn't really get hardcore with fitness and weights until 1990 when Kelvin Giles was introduced to the club, for a lot of the players it was a whole new side of the game they were being introduced to. The results were reflected that very same season and should have been in 1991 as well(what a frustrating season that was, but it would prove to be worth the wait for 1992 and 1993). [/QUOTE]
