Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 2923840, member: 2290"] A lot of those players are great now but realistically a lot of them was the right thing to do at the time. 1.Norman was being an absolute diva and had a terrible attitude (though it’d be hard not to have a bad attitude under hook). 2. Hoffman whinged about playing anywhere but the only position he was any good at, wing. Now he even is terrible on the wing. Oates, Kahu, and potentially Isaako are far better options. 3. Copley seems to outplay Roberts every time they play but he isn’t half the player Roberts should be. The definition of average. 4. Moga’s decision onfield decision making is the angriest a bronco has made me since the affermentioned Hoffman was our 5/8th. Incredible athlete who might be a good footballer one day but it wasn’t a big loss, especially now his knees have exploded for the 4th time. Oppa and Bird are better options (Bird’s price mot considered). 5. Gaga is a legitimate talent and a big loss but he had behaviour issues and most of this bird praised Hook for his bravery in putting club culture above an individual. May have been harsh in retrospect but I get the decision. 6. Hunt...a large portion of this site was bagging him and wanted him gone. He got dropped from first grade in his final season here and the market dictated his price tag to be over a million doll hairs. We probably should have not spent a mil on an overweight centre and used that money to resign Oppa and Hunt but I’m no Super coach. 7. Taylor similar story to Hunt but with the added factor that we thought we had Hunt wrapped up. Losing Hunt may have come from the same arrogance that lost us Bellamy years ago. Obviously we would be far better off with either of these players in our team. This is where it starts getting harder to make sense of. How we ended up with (a talented no doubt but) completely inexperienced starting prop pairing is mind blowing. They had less than 20 games between them. We definitely should have kept Wallace over Blair (last year), the shitter version of Blair that is Sims, a year over done Thaiday, and the low ceiling Offa. Arrow is in that same boat. Esse Esse was great and a favourite player of mine last year but he got big deal so I get losing him. I have a feeling Wallace and Arrow would have stayed if we just offered them a start. 8. Lodge —-> 8. McGuire 9. Macca —-> 9. Macca 10. TPJ. —-> 10. Wallace 11. Glenn —> 11. Glenn 12. Gillett —> 12. Gillett 13. McGuire > 13. Arrow 14. Oppa —> 14. TPJ 15. Thaiday. 15. Lodge 16. Offa. —> 16. Sims 17. Sims —> 17. Offa That is far more respectable forward pack than the mess we have at the moment. [/QUOTE]
