Broncos FB page have just uploaded a video: "Our captain Alex Glenn talks openly and honestly about the 2020 season".
Whilst I feel for Glenn and the scrutiny that he has had to endure as a result of the season from hell, he seems to blame COVID-19 for the decline of this footy team, talking about feeling like a prisoner with the restrictions around NRL players.
I get it, but he does realise that EVERY other team in the NRL faced exactly the same, if not worse protocols, doesn't he?
QLD teams actually had the more relaxed protocols compared to a lot of other teams.
Look at the Warriors, who are stuck in a different country, not sleeping in their own beds and unable to see their families for months.
Look at Melbourne, they have relocated to a different state and again unable to sleep in their own beds.
I feel like this club from top down has used the COVID-19 excuse for this shocking season, when in-fact they actually had it better then a lot of other clubs/teams did.
Melbourne are a genuine premiership threat. I have no doubt that they would love to be able to go back to their own home after training, after each game, like the Broncos players can, but they cannot. They're using it as a bonding tool, rather than an easy get out. Thats is because their coach, CEO and board know that there is no point in crying and using it as an excuse. Every club has these "bubble" restrictions.
Again, massive cultural issues at this club and another tick to bringing Kevvie in and going hard for Donaghy and Bellamy.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, there are a lot of players in this team that look to have this chip on their shoulder and think that they're superior then what they really are.
This club and this team need a genuine wake up call and unfortunately, I don't think the spoon that they won last night will wake them up.
I can picture all 30 players, coaching staff and board members at Red Hill this morning patting each other on the back and saying COVID-19 really did a number on us this year.
It's just not good enough.
