Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 2486132, member: 1928"] I remember a while back on this forum I argued with Nashy among others about this in particular and how in part it probably failed to land us Greg Inglis. I truly believe we still think it is 2001 and we are the bees knees of the NRL, that if players don't throw themselves at the Broncos then they are probably not worth signing. The last big name we had was giftwrapped to us considering he wanted to go home/church/family, since then we have consistently failed to lure a big name to us despite plenty being on the market. We fucked the Inglis deal because we were too full of ourselves, we didn't have a proper go at JT, haven't attempted to sign anyone killing in the SL, we seem content on giving the juniors and the late bloomers/discards a run and, when it doesn't work out, simply fall back on the, oh well we only have a young team LOL! excuse. Considering the advantages we can offer players is equalled by few, to me it simply smacks of absolute complacency and an appetite for mediocrity. We got ourselves into this position because we had too much faith in our juniors. It's nice to back your juniors but it's one thing to basically live off them entirely. Now people are suggesting we sign another bunch of young kids and hope for it to all work out? Like it did this time? When the Broncos started up, what did they do? They went and bought the best. They then filled out the other positions and built a side around the quality. They got the job done. We have taken our eyes off the road and our hands off the wheel, we don't even know what job needs to be done, let alone how to do it. [/QUOTE]
