So you mean, because any of the new agencies in the country didn't have exclusive access to confidential talks between Inglis, his manage, and the Broncos. You are saying we didn't go out of our way?
We have no idea what they did to secure that signature. You can argue your point until your fingers bleed. But it's still not going to change the fact that you have no idea what was offered behind closed doors.
Listen, what I am suggesting is that there are many ways you can make someone feel like they are a big part of your plans. You can do that by massaging their ego either in private or public channels. You can express how much you want them in your colours, you can have sponsors state how excited they are to have this person on board next year, etc etc.
I'm not claiming to have been a fly on the wall in the discussions. What I am claiming however, is that from the media I have seen printed, Brisbane, at every step of the way, have been very apathetic to their capture of Greg Inglis. This is how I see it.
And from this, I have formed the opinion, when compared to what the Titans and Souths have done. Yeah, the Titans weren't successful but at least they left no stone unturned, even from a public perspective. You can't tell me Brisbane have done the same, all you can suggest is that we've done our best because we don't know any better.
Edit: This whole one player bigger than the club business is a bit daft, we're not handing him the keys and deed to Red Hill...
btw if I am being a tool I would prefer to be told, i'm not trying to be a **** or to be argumentative, I am just very disgruntled at what I perceive to be a combination of poor management and lack of ambition on our behalf. And i'll still renew my season ticket, even if the management will waste my money...
