Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3187256, member: 1847"] Well, Stranger, as I don't know that Dude, nor his sources, I regard him as I describe below, although I do (obviously) agree with his views. In the multi-million $$$ corporate world of professional sport, its power brokers, like Bennett, Mimis and White tell you only what they want you to know. They treat the truth (something which, dare I say it, [B]is[/B] unique) like something plastic and malleable, a commodity for public consumption, bending and shaping it to make it palatable to the public, and always from the perspective of their agendas, always massaging the truth to protect and ensure their public credibility. A bit like politicians really. This is made worse for us because the "truth" is then released to the media, to journos with their own agendas who process it accordingly. How many times on here do we rant and rail again the NRL media about the "truth" they publish? And on top of that, we all know for a fact that Bennett only tells the media what he wants them (and therefore us) to hear. All of which opens the doors to speculation for born sceptics like myself, who have issues with what power does to people, who look closely at the circumstances around which, in the case of Boyd, his contract was formed: his age, his health and durability, his form, his peculiar and unique (that word again) relationship with Bennett, Bennett's profound influence over the Broncos, that Bennett and Boyd have the same agent, that Bennett and White and Lockyer were then close, and so, I draw my own conclusions, [B]and for the purposes of a good debate[/B], post them. All of which goes to prove the point of my initial post which started this thread ball rolling, by the debate it has generated, that a core issue for all Broncos supporters is the incredible power Bennett wielded and still wields at the Broncos (and BHQ), how that can manifest, its consequences, as Seibold discovered, and ultimately, the challenges it presents for Kevvie, who as our new coach, has to forge his own identity in Wayne's shadow, a daunting task at best.
