It's no good if the miracle play never comes off but if he could develop that
maybe Dearden could become a good foil for Croft

Ok, did not know. Seriously though, his parents chose to move to penrith? Wow.

Was far from a fan but he was a better five eighth than Milford.

Yes he did win a title with us, but i don't see how that makes him a club great. He was essentially Walters version of Perry.

Carlaw is a fringe Broncos great in my books, 188 games for the club, won a couple of GF's, never played for anyone else in the NRL, played for QLD & AUS.

If you are talking Caboolture, sure. Logan is bogan central, I should know I grew up there.
Croft should fit right in to the Broncos if he feels entitled.

He was fun to watch. A poor man's version of gillet in his prime. He quite reached that level of consistency of a "great" player but earned his immortality with greatest try of all time in origin, having a large hand in it.

Oh did a touch nerve there? I was comparing schools and types of education. The Logan bogan is unfortunately a legacy that the area will never shake on account of the two words rhyming.

Never quite hit the heights that was expected of him but when he was in form, he was near unstoppable. Out of form and he was rarely noticed. A good player but not a great by any means.

I can't believe I'm defending Ikin, but the guy played 17 Origins. If someone wants to call him a great, you don't need to piss all over him.

That may make him an Origin great ... doesn't make him a Broncos great

I think the issue is calling him a 'Broncos club great' as most of his achievements came before he got to play for us. I think he was a good player in his era. Perhaps not an out and out great, but definitely achieved quite a lot in his time.
I'd struggle to call him a Broncos club great though. He won a Permiership with us but most of his time here was marred with injury and a premature retirement as a result of those.

Guess you'd have to say the same about Wally Lewis, then. Ikin played more games for us than Wally did. And, Wally never won a premiership.

I would have him our best ever team, thats for sure ... but
unlike Ikin, Wally played a vital role in the early days, especially in his ability to attract quality players to our fledgling club
