Are the fans "over" the Broncos?

When you look at the 2006 side that last won the premiership, we had some serious talent in there. Lockyer, Hodges, Webcke, Civoniceva, Tate, Thorn, Carroll, Hunt, Berrigan, Ennis, Thiaday, Parker and Minto. We are seriously lacking in star power these days, but we are still capable of winning another premiership, We just need a few tweaks.

I think about this every so often. That team was OP as ****. Would destroy everything these days
 
My theory is that WB is jaded and realises that the best outcome is not a 'premiership at all costs', but for the men he is in charge of to leave the game healthy and wealthy.

I don't blame him if this is true TBH, life is bigger than the game.
while true in the bigger picture sense, he can go play moral bastion elsewhere if that is truly how he thinks (which i don't necessarily think is the case, but if he did...)
 
I know we looked ordinary in attack at the pointy end of the season, but we were 2nd best in attack and 4th for fewest points conceded over the course of the season. The sky hasn't completely fallen.
 
Tin foil hat time.

Is it a better career choice for coaches to finish top 6 consistently than to win a premiership and watch their team be shredded by the salary cap. Does a 70 year old man want to coast through his next contract or have to go through another rebuilding phase?
 
We're sort of being forced into a rebuilding phase though:

Hunt - gone
Blair - gone
Moga - gone
Arrow - gone
Ese'ese - gone
Marshall - ???

It's a good point, but I don't think our team is far off a premiership side... 2 players short of a genuine good team. Our game plan however lacks direction and potency. That's coaching and our playmakers ability to put into practice.
 
Or maybe he has taught them "attack" and that's what we've been watching since 2016...
"Yeah Milf, you linking up with Hunt is great and all but what I want you to do if you want to catch the ball this week is step left, then step right, take two steps forward and spin. Oh yeah, I'm still the Super Coach"- Wayne Bennett.

"And now Hunt... I want you to take the ball and feign right before dumping it off to Gillett but make sure you're at least 5m from the line though. Now for last tackle I want nothing but bombs... high enough for the chase to get there but nobody is to contest it. Also if we're inside the 10m don't kick it you'll just kick it dead. Got it good. Now go out there and just win FFS"

Now you see how ridiculous it sounds right?
 
Hunt: "Don't worry, I have a tactic so I'll never kick it dead Wayne".

* kicks in to opposition's feet *
 
Hunt: "Don't worry, I have a tactic so I'll never kick it dead Wayne".

* kicks in to opposition's feet *
Milf: "I remember seeing this amazing tactic last year that literally never resulted in a 7 tackle set. I think I'm going to copy it".


"Sir, this is the McDonalds drive through. Here is your Family Meal Deal with 20 extra nuggets"
 
That had me picturing Hunt working at the maccas drive through. The bosses see that the stock levels for the nuggets are way out. They realise why.

"Ben, I'm sorry, we have to let you go".

"Why"?

"We've reviewed the stocks and the video and I seems you have been consistently giving customers too many nuggets"

"Really".

"Yep, every time they're supposed to get 6, but you keep giving away 7 nugget sets".

Then he signs with KFC where the players can choose however many nuggets they want.
