Message: [QUOTE="Battler, post: 3028190, member: 8509"] Every 'vet' the club signed long term, seemingly with the view to aid the rookies coming through, is playing like shit. Boyd and Gillett are shadows of their former selves and Macca is Macca. In hindsight not signing Gillett or giving him a one year deal to see how he came back from his year long injury lay off probably would have been more appropriate. Not re-signing a 30 year old FB, a position that requires extreme athleticism which players can lose fast as they age, who has never been an out and out superstar in his position for four years would have been intelligent business also. I would prefer McGuire at the club as the forward leader over Gillett and Glenn, both of which can easily be replaced with Su'a and Fifita right now for a net positive. TL;DR: Unless Gillett and Boyd decide to retire early for the good of the club we're so fucked roster wise for the next three years it's not even funny. EDIT: I maintain that the NRL will use our down period as the perfect excuse to bring in a second Brisbane club to try and bait plastic fans away from the Broncos. The fact that our attendance and TV viewership will go down big time will only help them make that decision. If that happens and Brisbane 2 gets AFL style cap incentives we could very well become the new Parra. We have idiots in this city who support a Melbourne and Townsville side because they're, or were in the Cows' case, successful despite having no connection to the city or region, just imagine if a second Brisbane side came in and were allowed to assemble an NRL sanctioned '07 Storm squad.
