but we could have used the Pezet money to strengthen other areas like a forward or outside back and played Joash at 5/8 for another year until Lorenzo was ready. That would have made us stronger
You don’t know the meaning of “rarely” quite clearly, I never said they have never made a mistake.
They signed a bum like Seabald and Walters.
They replaced him with Adam Reynolds, and since doing so have won a premiership and came within a bee’s dick of another
I just don’t see it with him, he may be a handy fullback up but that’s about it. Not a 6’s arsehole.
They should pushing for a premiership every single year with their ridiculously unfair advantages. Bronco dollars are real some of the stories over the years are mind blowing.
Oh agreed, given the natural advantages they have they’re massive under-achievers over the last two decades. I was just making the point that pointing to Tom Dearden as the Broncos having shit recruitment and retention isn’t a particularly strong example. But there are plenty of them - never forget Brodie Croft was their halfback saviour.
Hull KR made Croft look like Alfie Langer in Vegas. shows how shit the Suoerleague is.
I believe it was in the 1980s when you won 4 comps. Great backline, Sterlo, Burt (who I would have above Wally Lewis), the Crow, Zip Zip man and the Guru.
They made Brodie Croft their captain and obtained a spoon. He was so bad they had to release him early. They aren’t immune from making poor decisions. They were extremely lucky that Reece Walsh fell back into their lap after they initially let him go.
We would probably be much weaker this year with Talataina in the top 17.
They played in two grand finals without Dearden.
He could be on big money and it still wouldn’t have stopped us signing anyone else. There aren’t enough first graders for 17 clubs. There’s going to be plenty of overpaid plodders in the NRL once the Bears join the comp.
ffs
Because it was a no win situation. He develops well then the Broncos get the benefit, he goes shit then he is just filling the space Joash should be filling. Just a poor decision either way.
