Profit and all areas contributing.I wonder just where and on what the Board's attention has been principally devoted.

Reason why I stay way from Broncos/NRL reddit because so many negative commentsJust about every game day thread on reddit has had a consesus of us being a dumb and poorly coached team.
Love Kevie, but that 23 grand final appearance may have been a fluke and we might be paying for it for another couple of seasons.
It's a good thing Broncos fans don't suffer.
How true, but only if you let it be. Their agenda would certainly be more about the 40k turning up rather then about the thrashing and all matters relating to captain or coach.One of the pitfalls of being a publicly listed company
Sure you’ve picked one that doesn’t have a major discrepancy (which is still arguable) in place and as such out of all of them you see the least amount of domination from franchises. Sure the Patriots were pretty dominant but there has been 11 different Super Bowl winners since the 2010 season.Not really true, it appears the NFL - far from being some sort of bastion of the robber baron culture - has actually had a salary cap scheme in place for nearly 30 years: currently around $255M per 53-man club roster. I had thought the top soccer leagues like the EPL, the Bundesliga, La Liga etc. were pretty much free-for-alls, but it appears they too will be implementing caps.
(BTW, did you see in the last minute or so of the linked vid, that fellow's spray on his head coach, from the sideline, in semi-public view ? Now Selwyn, that's how to do it ...)
The thing is that even all that is no insurance against long droughts, there are several onetime NFL powerhouses that then went up to 30 years without further championship success; then too there's the case of Man U drifting back to the pack after Ferguson's departure (sound familiar?).
I guess the message for clubs like Melbourne and Penrith is to appreciate the present success because nothing lasts forever, as those same winds and currents of circumstance that delivered the right people through the door in the first place can also shuffle those cards again at any time without notice.
Back to the Red Hill ranch, it's as if an organization that started out as a footy club on a mission to win titles but had the attributes of a business, then started, sometime around Bennett's (first) departure in '08(?), to morph into a business with some of the attributes of a footy club. I wonder just where and on what the Board's attention has been principally devoted.
Well that's enough of my speculative rambling.

I can't agree with this.
The Broncos are a CLUB. Players future, past and present are the club's primary asset. As past players their opinions matter, at least as much, if not more, than anyone else's. They don't get to dictate to management, but they're welcome to share their views. And that includes Corey Parker, a past captain, even though he is universally loathed.
I would be disappointed if the Kevvie era intake of old boys didn't have his back. These were our golden years. They want to relive them and bring them back. More strength to them.
That said, you're right in that it's destined to end in tears.
You can't take the phallus out of Tallis.I like that they have his back. I don't like the toxic manner in which they try to defend him.
Same with dropping balls.Defence is 90% attitude though. At this level they all know how to tackle
