Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3186912, member: 1847"] As I am never averse to going out on a limb, I'll respond like this, taking into account [USER=1899]@Big Pete[/USER] 's posts and others. As I am, according to you, that "random bloke on BHQ" who raised yet again the question of Bennett and Boyd's contract a few posts ago, my point was to situate my thoughts in the context of an issue often debated on here recently, and rightly so - the Broncos culture, something Kevvie has to deal with now and is doing so, roster wise at least, and my view that a lot of it has to do with Bennett's profound influence on that culture, particularly in recruitment and retention. I am not so much trying to blame Bennett as highlight his influence on the club, particularly since 2017, and how that played out particularly given his sacking, its circumstances, and what happened to us this year. That is why I raised my point in this thread. As I see it, it's a big deal for Kevvie. Part of his unenviable job is start a Walters culture, displacing and in part, dispersing Bennett's influence on the club (but separate and distinct from Wayne's justly hallowed place in Broncos history. His reputation as a great coach is not in question.) So I used the Boyd contract issue as just one example of Bennett's serious influence on the Broncos, and, at the back of mind, I still think about the group of Bennett acolytes, who I have also mentioned, and do so again in this regard - Milford, Lodge, Oates, Pangai and Offa, all key, senior players and all who both screwed up on field in 2020, and also for mine, were part of the putsch to eliminate Seibold, as I see it, to avenge Bennett's sacking, through shit performances, and also, through white anting Seibold privately, publicly (TPJ) and in the media. Disloyalty to their coach is a word that comes to mind, and of course, their actions had a terrible effect on the club and on us, loyal fans. Again, I am not blaming Bennett for those players having their own personal agendas as I allege, but I am ascribing those to Bennett's profound influence on the players who adore him. So I am sure Walters wants none of that under his watch, and I am guessing he wants some accountability from those players for their actions in 2020, and to ensure he has their 100% loyalty and performance guarantees for the next 2 years at least, so he can be remembered as a great coach in his own right, and not as a footnote to Bennett. Maybe I am drawing a long bow, but it is how I feel, and when I remember this season, I feel like shit. So yes, bring on the Kevolution ASAP. [/QUOTE]
