NEWS Broncos star’s horrific fall from grace

Accept said:
.630 winning pctg after inheriting a basket case from six years of mismanagement. Your boy has taken us back to the Hook/Henjak era and then some. He is starting his own era, one that will oversee the darkest period in Bronco's history.

Bennett. Couldn't. Get. It. Done.

That simple mate. This is necessary pain. Too much talent in the team not to improve once things are stable and injuries are right, stop being so negative.

Every team has talent. It just has to be managed properly and this current regime are not capable of that. My biggest beef isn't with the fact that Bennett got moved on, it's who they hired to replace him. It's like substituting caviar with dog shit. It was never going to work out and hopefully Bronco's mgmt work that out sooner rather than later.

Seems personal with you. He's a good coach and you are making too many assumptions and projections here. It's been a shit year, but it's not all or even mostly down to Siebs, the luck has been against us, the bounce of the ball has been against us and the shitty attitude from under Bennett's last two plus years lingers.
New coach is doing his best amid what is an even more dire situation than many fans imagined, most realistically predicting a tough transition from Bennett at first.

In my opinion Seibs has shown promise - shit he threw Milf back to fullback, would Bennett ever do that? That was fucking exciting. Siebs is exciting, Turpin, Segey etc So much to look forward to.

You and a few others haven't even given him enough time to implement his own ideas\players\plan\whatever. You and others were writing him off and calling him shit at the beginning of the season. If you were being honest with yourself you would acknowledge that the jury is still well and truly out on whether he's a suitable replacement or not.

We were calling him shit before the season started, and what do you know, we're 5 and 9 in 14th spot.

Pot bellied bogan was Accept's term - from the outset it was personal for some reason.

I think the jury is well and truly still out on whether the milf to fullback experiment is exciting or not.

Some of us jump in early on our opinions of someone because we can spot a dud from a mile away. In fact, I actually fucked up because he is much worse than I gave him credit for. Some of us wrote him off from the beginning while others are willing to give him a little longer. That's just human nature. I'll speak to you in a year's time and you can share your thoughts with me then.

Well...no. It IS exciting, whether it's successful or not remains to be seen, that is if he gets back there. Milford running the ball more is exciting.
 
It's frustrating watching the lack of consistency and enthusiasm from the boys this year. The excuse of them being too young has been thrown around quite a bit but it definitely has some credence.

My only issue with Seibold this year had been his team selections. We were always going to go through a transitional period, it has just been a lot worse than a lot of us expected.

If Seibold had a healthier roster to pick from and actually picked the right guys for each position than I still believe we would have seen a lot more success.

I actually can't take credit for that term. I read it somewhere and stole it. That is minor in comparison to what has been said about Bennett on here, the man who is the epitome of success in this great franchise and elsewhere. It could only be personal if I actually knew the guy, which I don't. Do you?

The point is you took a dislike to him before the season even began, you are just salty over Bennett and it's obvious. Move on pal.

He is more exciting than Boyd if that’s what you mean.
But I meant he would only be exciting if he is successful and it’s too early to judge that.

Yeah I was convinced he was a spud but figured even a fucking freshly dug up potato could coach this squad to the finals. **** me dead how wrong was I?

Well of course, I mean arguably the greatest coach of all time managed to coach this squad to one of its most embarrassing final defeats in round one of the finals, so it’s a fucking cakewalk.
