Too much talking about dick ;)
Personally I'd love it if everyone got a lot more honest. I'd love to see full on coaching rivalries "I don't like him as a coach or a person".Furner could probably say the Broncos are a terrible team this year, that would be true too, doesn't mean he wouldn't be a dick for saying it.

I also would like it if all coaches said what they really think but when it's against my club I'm going to return serve :laugh:Personally I'd love it if everyone got a lot more honest. I'd love to see full on coaching rivalries "I don't like him as a coach or a person".
with everyone training to be a robot in PR these days, I like comments like those by Furner, even if it's against my club, because I think he has a point and I like the fact everyone in the media is now turning their crosshairs on Brisbane. Maybe with more pressure, ****'s gonna hit the fan.
i wouldnt give the broncos any credit whatsoever for developing prince, who we bought from the cowboys, and who played 28 games over 3 years for us.So do we. Every single player in our squad has more or less been developed by us, our two signings this year (Prince, Stagg) were both former Broncos... And Wallace being the other external signing was a nobody until we signed him.
Furner is a dick for saying that.
That's an overstatement.No shit, but their "younguns" are still better than ours.
i think talent is one of our biggest issues, lack of it more specifically.I don't think our biggest issue is talent

yes we have some good players, but theyll never be *great* players. theyre the type of players that every team needs to complement their great players.....but you need great players first. players like wallace/mccullough/copley/kahu/etc are good number fillers, who can bust out the odd very good game. but unless you have a lockyer/slater/inglis/thurston/hayne/dugan/etc youre not going to win a premiership, not ever. its why broncos teams of the past were able to win, because for all the nuffies and jobbers we had we still had lockyer/tallis/civoniceva/hodges/sailor/tuqiri/etc.
now we just have 15 generic second rowers with different numbers on their backs + hoffman + parker.
The Broncos are currently chasing Raiders Dave Shillington & Titans Albert Kelly, its rumoured Kelly is extremely unhappy with the terms of his Gold Coast contract & will seek a release if his demands are not met.

Hasler or Bellamy still have gamebreakers. Slater/Cronk/Smith/Barba. It's exactly what AP is saying, these guys are good players and they will be serviceable, but they'll never be greats. We're expecting them to be greats because we don't have gamebreakers. This is where we are falling down. Yes it's partially coaching but I don't think Bellamy or Hasler would win the premiership with our squad.It's way more than that AP. Give Gillett, Glenn, Kahu say to Hasler or Bellamy and then you will see what they are capable of instead of having Hook coach their talent out of them
Welcome the forums man :)Read: I think I'm worth more money, give me a contract upgrade.
i dunno, i havent really seen anything too crash hot in kahu. hes slower than a wet week, i know that much. glenn i reckon would shine at a club like melbourne or the bulldogs.It's way more than that AP. Give Gillett, Glenn, Kahu say to Hasler or Bellamy and then you will see what they are capable of instead of having Hook coach their talent out of them
