Message: [QUOTE="Nepal Donkeys, post: 3028191, member: 8858"] I think it's beginning to be fairly clear what is wrong with us. The core of the club is fairly rotten. It has been slowly going that way under White. Everything is done to a below-excellence standard. Second-rate has become accepted. And none of it is a problem, because at the end of the day BBL EBITDA still goes up, the shareholders are happy enough, and there's no off-field financial shambles that causes a real shake up. For example - we have the best facility in the game, bar perhaps Penrith. Yet last year the team started with a serious issue of [I]not being fit enough[/I]. That is piss poor for a professional sporting organisation. Paul Kent, who is quite obviously getting leaks out of Seibold, is now claiming constantly that the players weren't fit enough for Seibold to train them properly in the pre-season. Either this is horse shit or its true: both are bad enough outcomes. The Broncos membership operation is run to a standard below other clubs. Ditto for social media. Since Darren Lockyer retired, we have had [I]one [/I]successful season, which itself didn't even result in a premiership. The ghost of that season still lingers over the club - there are far too many scars. Some players are very happy to be Broncos and don't mind just collecting a cheque. It seems somewhat a mentality that once you make first grade [I]you [/I]have made it, not a desire to move onto becoming legends that have won titles. As good as some players have been for us, none of the current Broncos hold a candle to the teams of the 90s. The talent might be there, but there isn't the hunger to go one better. There needs to be a clean out and show some people that nobody is safe based on reputation. I think Seibold is beginning to do that, and you see some kickback against it. Hopefully it shakes a few comfortable people up. On the topic of Seibold, I think it is becoming fairly apparent that we have hired a dud and are locked into a five year contract thanks to the aforementioned White. Since Round 21 last year, his coaching record is 4-11. If you are even a slightly above average coach you can do significantly better than that. He craps on about game models and consistency, but the only difference he has made this year is to weaken both our attack and defence. [/QUOTE]
