Bulla is one of my favourite players of all time and one of the best I've seen play the game. I still believe the club shot themselves in the foot by letting him go & I hope Cullen regrets the decision to let him go and sign hacks like Clinton, Sims & Marsh (and I like PJ, but let's call a spade a spade here) for the rest of his years.
While he hasn't been consistent this season, it's been an honour to see Civo cart it up in a Broncos jersey once more. Whenever we've needed him to lift, he has and he's still performing on the grandest stages of them all. I was feeling jipped by our 2012 earlier, but if the highlight was the privilage of watching Bulla roll defensive lines backwards and setting up tries through said runs then for my money & time it's been well worth it.
Aside from his head breaking Monty Betham's arm when he was hit high, my fave Bulla moment was a try of his against Newcastle in 06. We were absolutely towelling them & Civo appeared to be tackled just short of the line until a second effort put the ball over. What made this moment was the expression on Civo's face, he was desperate to score that try & like an innocent kid he looks up at the ref. with this hopeful expression on his face. I think that's what sealed it for him.
Regardless of tomorrow night, I've never felt embarrassed to support Petero & I hope when the dust is settled he's remembered as not only a great footballer but a wonderful ambassador of the game.
Let's Go Broncos & never say die my friends!
Lets just hope the whole team turns it on this Friday night and we get some belief back into us and string a couple of wins.
