It's been an awful start and while there's plenty of excuses to be made, the players aren't well drilled. Seibold has failed to put his stamp on the style of play and they've reverted to doing the things that hurt them in the big games. Before the season started, Seibold spoke about the importance of play-makers and how he wanted to get the prop forwards out of that role. Since the first month, that's gone completely out the window and the Broncos have gone back to five rucks and a kick football. If Pangai or Lodge don't create anything, then the team isn't going anywhere.
The jury is out on whether he has what it takes. The board has to assume some responsibility for the way they handled this entire affair. Too many cloaks and daggers, all to try and cover their backsides. If they wanted to make the big decision to get rid of Bennett, then they should have been upfront about it from the start instead of letting it play out in the media. It was sloppy and as a result the club has really stumbled in trying to move forward.
There isn't a lot of changes the Broncos can make this year. Their depth is paper thin and while there's still some more talented prospects making their way through the grades, they're a good pre-season away from making a difference. Still, they need to make some big calls, they can't keep trotting out the same line-up and it's clear that some players are well and truly at the end of the line.
