Message: [QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 2989096, member: 8274"] Now that the storm has passed, and I have had time to formulate my thoughts on the whole saga, I find myself surprisingly conflicted. On one hand, it's incredibly hard to make a dent in the respect I have for Wayne after all he's achieved for us, and I think a fair few have underestimated how much of a turnaround he has delivered since returning. Oh the short memories. We were in the fucking doldrums from 2010-14, and watching the Broncs play had become an agonizing chore. And once again, the ripples of 2015 are still felt. If we had won the Grand Final, would we be here discussing this now? Something tells me we wouldn't be, whether Wayne decided to retire then and there or not. So if you really want someone to level blame at for the shitshow we find ourselves in now, make it the handful of players who choked hard when we needed them at their best the most. On the other hand, Wayne's behavior over the past few months, [B]IF[/B] it has played out like we are assuming it did, has not ingratiated him to me very much. And we are well within our rights to make such assumptions. It's evident that Bennett has never been one to leave clubs in a better state than he found them in, and it raises questions about his motives in terms of making himself look more important to a clubs fortunes than perhaps he really is. And then there is the likes of White and Morris who, when it was crystal clear they needed to show a bit of balls and deal with this emphatically early on, allowed the circus to drag on for way too long in a sort of cold war with the coach to achieve, what? As it turns out, not much at all. They may have found an excuse not to pay Bennett's final year out, but what did it cost them in terms of credibility? I'm not even gonna bother talking about Souths and the effect this has had on them, because if we're all being honest with ourselves, none of us really give a shit. Sink or swim with Bennett is all I have to say, because for better or worse, he's your problem now. As for Seibold, well to be frank I would have been a lot more optimistic about him before this shit storm piled a mountain of pressure onto his shoulders, and lets not forget Bennett was 2 and 0 over him last season. For my own sanity, all I can do is put that down to a clear difference in the quality of the squads, and not the coaches. Speaking of the squad, that is pretty much the most important end game for me. If we retain the likes of Oates, Lodge and TPJ over the next couple of weeks, swell, I can sleep well knowing things could have been a lot worse. If they don't, well....Lets just say I will be keenly awaiting the Broncos board simultaneously falling on the biggest sword they can find in the armory, because by that point, the whole thing has been a complete catastrophe.
