So is half our team and 90% of the games most successful players.
That is utter shit.
Off the top of my head, those in our current team that don’t carry on like they’re the best to ever lace on a boot:
Cobbo, Farnworth, Carrigan, Hetherington, Gamble, Reynolds, Capewell, Riki, Oates, Perera (spelling), Martin, Lee, Jensen, Turpin, Flegler and even Haas, who as the best prop in the game at the ripe old age of 22, has every right to think highly of himself. I’m sure I’ve missed some too.
Staggs is probably the one bloke in our team that most gives off the ‘dickhead’ vibe, but at least he’s gone some way towards proving his status as one of the better players in the game in his position.
As for other players at other teams, I honestly don’t care about them. Even when we won 5 premierships in a decade, the Broncos were never a team high on themselves. Players like Plath, Smith, De Vere, Hohn, Cann, Carne, Hancock etc. just got the job done without being wankers about it. Then we had players like Pearl, Lazo, Lockyer, Civo, Webcke, Tallis, Thorn etc. that were the best, but they didn’t carry on like it.
