It's easy to chirp off at the mouth giving your negative opinion of the club, but if you truly cared about the Broncos then why not show up to the old boys reunion and speak to some of our young team? Help them, try to motivate them. Explain to them what it means to wear the Broncos jersey. Make them FEEL your passion and let them SEE the pride in your eyes. But no, they'd rather talk shit about their former club and not even do something to help us. Fake. Fucking weak media hungry guys I swear. Thank you to the old boys who did make the effort and show up. Legends and the true fans love you.
 
Johns was one of the people pissed that Walters didn't get the job but at least he is making an effort trying to mend things between the Old Boys and the club and making an effort to get behind this team and Seibold.

The others would prefer to sit on the sidelines and do nothing. Yeah, and they wonder why the culture at the club has changed.
 
I can't take this seriously. It's a one sided story and only a fool forms an opinion without all the facts. Had the story been that every single ex player been phoned and given plenty of notice then two things would be assured. The first, the turn out would have been significant and secondly the ex's would have no real excuse if they didn't support it.

Should we take it seriously when every tom, dick and harry tell us the Broncos culture is in a shambles?

That's an answer to a different question and not related to my post. I only commented it was a one sided account.

This is a poor excuse imo. If you are one of the old boys that have been mouthing off and are so passionate about the club that you say these things (nothing to do with further your media career, just totes passionate yeah) you aren’t going to miss an invitation.

After all the articles and shows giving these flogs free tee off against the club (sorry @Huge I missed your posts questioning those articles based on them only being one-sided, if you could link me those that would be great) I appreciate an article like this that highlights what flogs these guys are. Put up or shut up. Gordon, Justin et al if you are so concerned about the club and the culture that apparently disappeared over a few months and the fact that you apparently aren’t remembered then get the **** down there especially when you asked.

So out of the 200+ former players that have played for the club, only 4 could be bothered to turn up. That's fucking piss weak even considering if all weren't phoned or directly contacted. The Broncos Old Boys webpage has a calender of events on it it ffs.
 
If they are truly part and parcel of this great club culture they believe they created why are they not down there without being asked. Surely not all of them are offended due to Walters being overlooked. Perhaps it was an honest error in communication. Whatever it’s up to Johns and his old boys association to make amends if they care about the club and it’s future. If they don't they can get fucked.
 
I hope Seibold and the club use this as an us against them mentality, even if it is only internally.

I do not believe the shit the Tallis et al. say about having the best interests of the club at heart. They have their own interests at heart and believe aside from trying to further their media careers the end goal is to bring down Seibold to install Walters as the coach. This is shit that we used to laugh about Parramatta doing and now not only is it happening at our club we have fans excusing the treatment from the old boys.

**** them all, club before all these *****.

If Siebold does use it to lift the players, it won't be the first time. Bennet used it to great effect during the 90's. The problem I see is Siebold came into this club openly attacking the old regime. Of course there were going to be players and ex-players sentimental to the previous coaches, and this could not have helped in the bonding of the team.
He should ignore everything ex-players and coaches do and say from here on in and build the team he wants. If an idea of bennets was a good one, take it and use it, even credit it to bennet for those players i've already mentioned. If he tries a new approach, do so but without castigation of previous methods or ideas, explaining why and how.
I think for for the most part he has done the second but forgot to do the first. Bennet's name shouldn't even be mentioned anywhere or with anything, unless a reporter is seriously digging. Thank him for the club he has built and tell them he, siebold is taking it with him to another premiership down the track.
When Bennet came in, he didn't slag off Griffin. If he did, Hodges and parker would have gone the way of maguire. No one wants to hear, they have been complete twats for buying into the old coach's methods.
 
When Seibold arrived he said it was important for him to have former players involved. It’s what he did at Souths. He must be shaking his head. It shows them in a bad light.
 
It's not a good look. It's pretty poor actually. Maybe they need to have a chat to Seibs before they judge him.

How did he openly attack the old regime? Genuine question.
 
That would be the decent thing to do...but it doesn't generate the negative media that we all seem to crave.

Tallis and Gilly I can kind of understand tbf...both are contracted to other clubs. Not that I'm saying it's right of course, but they at least have a semi excuse. Didn't Tallis also say on one of the Fox programs that he's cut all ties with the club?
